“Following the birth of my daughter. Having had a challenging couple of years with the

passing of my sister I felt inspired to take on the Dublin City Marathon to run for a very

special charity The Cancer Fund for Children.

Starting off in January it was extremely difficult to improve my fitness and I found myself

routinely stopping and starting when out for a run. I soon realised that I was going to need

some help if I was going to finish the marathon without the assistance of a taxi.

Following a quick Google search I found Run DTC coaching and signed up for the Tuesday

evening running group. Knowing that the group would be welcoming of all abilities put my

mind at ease. I was met by a great group of guys and girls of various abilities all of whom

were extremely welcoming and willing to share their running knowledge and experience.

These sessions have brought my running confidence and abilities far beyond my

expectations.

The coaches Daniel Stone and Feidhlim Kelly are quite impressive and have vast experience.

In my opinion they are an untapped resource for those of all abilities especially considering

their availability through Run DTC coaching which is so reasonably priced. I also opted for

the 1-1 marathon programme with Daniel who supported me in giving the marathon the

best effort I could. He was a great source of support and guidance in the lead up to the big

day. Many PBs later…all in all it was time well spent!.”
