Gerry Brady and I have worked together for a few years now and every year he seems to take a big chunk off of his marathon PB. That is down to his strong will and determination to do everything it takes. This year Gerry ran another Personal Best getting below 3:20 finishing one of the toughest Dublin Marathon days in memory in 3:19:42. Congratulations Gerry 👊

Please take a minute to congratulate Hilda Kerins on her recent marathon finish in Amsterdam. As always, Hilda is a hard worker, digging deep when the going gets tough. I’ve been working with Hilda for a couple of years now and she never ceases to amaze me with her willingness to challenge herself and push her limits. Although not a PB, this result is one anyone would be proud of 3:46:10. Congratulations Hilda 💪

It’s always a pleasure for a coach to work with athletes so willing to put themselves out there and never cuts corners. Please take a minute to congratulate William on his Galway Bay Marathon 💪

Who doesn’t love a midweek long run? I started the morning with a couple bowls of corn flakes and 500ml of C30 sports drink. I felt really good on this run, with plenty in the tank. On route I had a few C30 gels including this one with caffeine. The weather was warm but I managed to finish strong.

Now for the recovery. This homemade pizza dough, homemade tomato sauce and loaded pizza was the perfect post run meal 😁. Anyone interested in the dough recipe, let me know. It’s easy and absolutely delicious 🤤
