RTÉ 2fm DJ Hector Ó hEoghagáin has revealed that athlete Sonia O'Sullivan contacted him to say that his show encourages her to run faster in training.
O'Sullivan emailed the radio presenter from her training base in Australia this week to praise the show.
She wrote: “I bet you don’t know that while you are relaxing in front of your nice fire, watching Sky Sports, you are also running around with me in Melbourne on my iPod... between 7-8am next day so I am always a day behind with the show while a day ahead in real-time. Some great laugh out loud moments!”
“Last week I thought you were on fast forward, talking so fast, I'm used to the pace this week and all my runs are 2 minutes quicker!”
Ó hEoghagáin said: "It was great to get an email from Sonia O’Sullivan in Melbourne and to hear she is a fan of the show."
"Little did I know she was listening on the other side of the world while training and I am happy that the show is increasing her pace! Sonia: In your Melbourne sunshine... remember to keep her lit!"
Listen to 'Breakfast with Hector' weekdays on RTÉ 2fm from 7am- 9am.
