A Weekend in Brighton: Seafront Runs & Barefoot Freedom

Описание: Join me for a reflective and active weekend in Brighton! 🏖️ I hit the iconic seafront for a run with stunning ocean views and take a peaceful barefoot jog on the grass, connecting with nature. Along the way, I revisit cherished childhood memories, passing the Brighton Pier where I celebrated my 8th birthday 🎡, and the statue of Steve Ovett—an athlete whose words of encouragement meant the world to me after a tough moment in my career.

Steve’s kindness during a shared post-race massage, after I dropped out of the Commonwealth Games due to injury, reminds me of his wisdom: "There’s always another race."

This weekend was all about reflection, resilience, and reconnecting with Brighton’s charm

I started competing when I was twelve years old. I loved finding what was possible…
I ran fast times in the 1980’s
5k 15.50
5m 26.22
10k 33.29
10m 55.10
1/2m 72.48
Marathon 2.36.31
In 1985 I had the wonderful experience of winning the Dublin City Marathon.
I also competed in the 1986 Commonwealth Games, but had to retire during the race at 20m due to injury.

The personal experience of the ups and downs has been growthful for me, and also given me a depth of awareness that helps me to coach others and help them return after disappointments and set backs…

All these years later I am still loving competing and finding out what is possible….
