    Dearbhla and Paddy are back after brilliant weekends competing against some awesome competition! Dearbhla is fresh off the back of competing in the Inter-counties Cross Country Championships in Nottingham where the NI ladies team took silver! Paddy, well he only went and ran a PB down in Bohermeen running 68:16 - some pup! It was a great chat for episode 2 where we recapped the races and then spoke about must-haves session ad structure wise for a marathon block. Rounding out the episode we spoke about the brilliant setup at the Running Bubble Lisburn and their gait analysis technology! Book yourself in for a consultation, it is seriously worthwhile! Thanks for listening, see you next week!
