With Eric having signed up for the Cork Marathon on the June Bank Holiday weekend, he enlists the help of Brian Keohane, who has run the Cork Marathon 4 times, to break it all down for us.

Brian (@brian_runs_) is running the marathon in memory of his friend and neighbour Aidan Flynn, who sadly passed away at the young age of 36 from cancer last June, leaving behind a wife and three kids. He is raising money for the Mercy Hospital to help them raise funds for the cancer care centre. You can find more details, and support Brian, by clicking the link below:
