Any Given Runday

#28 - Reuben Whelan on running a marathon through Dublin Mountains, having a running community and Half IronMan goals


Listen Later

In this week's episode, Seán and Eric look to the Any Given Runday Running CLub for motivation for the podcast as Reuben posts in the group about getting up at 4:30 am to run a marathon through the mountains.

Reuben has been a member of the running group from day 1 and has helped motivate the group by documenting his progress. In this podcast, he talks about:

 - Why he did he run a marathon distance through the mountains this past Saturday
 - His first experience with the Dublin Marathon (after a horrific injury) that almost put him off running forever
 - The importance of being around like-minded people when getting involved with running
 - His previous running mistakes and what advice he would give to people setting out to run more now
 - Why he decided to compete in a Half Ironman
 - The welcoming community of triathlons after he competed in his first one.
 - His training journey to his first Half Ironman and the lofty goals he set
 - His future goals, one of which Eric has committed to do with him in the future.

This podcast episode, like the running group its self, is all about motivating each other to just do it and not always be concerned with the numbers, as long as you are pushing yourself.
