May 18, 2016May 18, 2016 Irish Nomad on the Run

Several of the thousands of people I’ve informed about my upcoming marathon aspirations have wondered why, if I’m only going to do one, I haven’t opted for an iconic event such as the Melbourne or London Marathons. I want to … Continue reading Moving & marathoning

When love goes sour

November 9, 2015 Irish Nomad on the Run

Dear Running There’s no easy way of saying this so I’ll be blunt – I think we need a break from each other. Just for a little while. I imagine this comes as a bit of a shock. At least, … Continue reading When love goes sour

My new race recipe

December 3, 2014December 3, 2014 Irish Nomad on the Run

The Art of Finishing

November 26, 2014May 8, 2015 Irish Nomad on the Run
