Cian is a sub 3 hour marathon runner who recently came 3rd in the Great Ireland run with an incredible 33:57 time, 2nd in the Westport half marathon and winner of the Another Way 5k. If you don’t know him for his running content, including that video of him reccing the Dublin half marathon this year on his bike, which I think we all saw, you might know him as the owner of 35 Vintage, in Fade Street.
Cian discusses his running journey, from playing football and then transitioning from DJing and college partying to becoming an accomplished runner and the owner of 35 Vintage on Fade Street. Learn about his training routines, the role of social media in his journey, and his tips for anyone looking to take their running to the next level.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
