Derval O'Rourke: Why 10 minutes a day is all you need for my September fitness challenge

Derval O’Rourke downed tools over the summer to spend time with her family.  Now she’s back with a bang — rested, recharged, and ready for a busy September. She talks to Deirdre McArdle about her upcoming four-week Feelgood fitness challenge for all levels, and why 10 minutes a day is all you need

It’s 11am, the day before kids return to primary school. Derval O’Rourke is back from a summer in West Cork with her family, and straight into interviews, corporate work, and prepping for nine straight days of reporting live on the RTÉ for the World Athletics Championships. 

But you wouldn’t know it to look at her — on our Zoom call, she looks refreshed, calm, and is raring to go.
