Have you ever wondered what it might be like to walk a marathon? After all, how hard could it be? Very, very difficult actually as a work colleague of mine Susan and her 'significant other' Rob found out in Dublin this year. Susan ran this race last year in just over four hours and so she knows a...

Fair play to the BHAA and the AAI; this time out they were really fast with results of the marathon. We had Dublin Marathon Results and National Marathon results in no time at all. Credit where credit is due. Heading into the marathon this year we knew that Athenry AC would be up against it to win...

At the last supper on Sunday night in the Italian on Parliament Street, those congregated all tossed a fiver into the pot and got to predict each others finishing times - all but their own for complete fairness! - and here are the results. Congratulations to Peter (Delmer) who held off Bridget-Ann...

Well, there is a strong possibility that anyone visiting the Athenry AC Web site might think that the entire population of runners in the area is a greying, balding, self-obsessed ("...yeah, been carrying a dislocated shoulder for months..."), tunnel-visioned ("...only managed 105 miles last week...

by Tom Hunt Mayo AC Coming back from the Gerry Farnan XC on Sunday I realised I had still to do that 'project' for Mick Rice. No excuses now.
