    Having been treated by the man myself i can help but heap praise on him. Between him and Hartmann good to know all us injury prone sloggers (as well as the elites) have some of the best people around to keep us on our feet

    At the start of the year i had a problem with my foot. I went to the doctor who couldn't do anything for me. I went to a physio who wanted me to buy€500 orthtotics. Finally a friend told me about him. He had me running within a week and the injury completely cleared within 3.

    He doesn't do appointments its first come first serverd and the average wait time has to be around 3 hours. He causes more pain than i have ever experienced. But there is no one else i would go to know.

    He doesn't waste time. There is no having to go back to him time after time and only charges €30 per visit.

    Very interesting article. Does this mean that guys such as Frater are doing more lifting than running? or is it the other way around?:

    'Geoghegan also believed their training was on a completely different level to their Irish counterparts.

    “I’m an athletics freak. I went training with them five times over the week and I honestly know that Irish athletes train wrong. They (Phillips and Frater) are very open about it. We lift and we lift and we lift but we don’t train,” he said. He added: “We are getting it frighteningly wrong… frighteningly, frighteningly wrong.”'
