Dublin Marathon

What was...

I'll tell you what was quite nice, selfishly, from our perspective, who, you know, we're training for the Dublin Marathon, more of that in a minute.

Oh, yeah.

Um, but on that level, she was saying that she'd discovered that the sweet spot for race events from her research and her own participation was mass participation events up to 20,000.

So it does consume you.

So I would imagine if they offered me a jersey or if that chance came along, a green jersey, I'd probably... need to know I have to sit down with the family and say this is a commitment and I'd have to commit so like you know but we'll see we'll see what happens I'll definitely I'd love to do the ego in a few weeks hopefully hopefully that's possible see how the body is I'm booked on for Dublin Marathon which which is a great marathon I love doing Dublin Marathon there's the buzz of it the day of it that's in it I won't be trying anything crazy we'll just go out on how I feel obviously but yeah I just I'd have to I'd have to see obviously the Eco is one that I want to do whether I give it a good bash this year or not I'll see you next week when I go back back training how the body is go to the physio just go from there like maybe it could be something that I could do next year and put a good block in training for it What distance are you down for in Eco 12 Philip? If the 80k Oh

just the 80k and then just the 42k on the roads a couple of weeks later not a bad idea

yeah well this is the thing like so I have to kind of weigh it up like just take them as they come

raised well into six figures in terms of the money raised by me and my friends and also the value-added commercial spots from the television station.

And so I was able to run the San Francisco Marathon, the Dublin Marathon in Ireland, Rock and Roll Marathon, which was the initial Rock and Roll Marathon in San Diego, and Then I ran the Portland Marathon and two times I ran the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. And I will just tell you that when I ran Portland as a coach, by that time, the Leukemia Society was really leaning into coaches don't leave the course until all the runners are in.

And that had not been such a mandate.

You would go as a coach and you would pick a runner somewhere towards the back of your pack and do the event with them.

And, uh, you've kept the running up.

You do the Dublin Marathon every year.

I do.

I do, and I do see you out waving everybody on every year as well.

There's a 30k run as well.

And we're down to seven weeks out now from the Dublin City Marathon.

So people are really starting to tune.

People are really starting to get sharp in terms of their preparation for that.
