Chilly morning, but the legs are still out!! Glad to get a few miles in at the beach having been stuck inside all week due to the snow. #running

Too much, too soon There is never a bad time to run. But in saying that, the flip side is also true. There is also never a bad time not to run. Particularly when your body is telling you that you have done too much. …

Finding my way back into running after the Dublin Marathon has been a challenge - a struggle to find balance. After overdoing it, it’s been a time to take it very easy. New running blog now up. #running

When not running - in order to avoid burnout - is the right thing to do. After a week of doing too much, how I have scaled things back to ensure I recover from the Dublin Marathon properly. New blog now up. #ukrunchat #running craigaw1969.wordpress.com/2025/11/16/t...

Sunshine through the clouds on a breezy day at the beach. Nice early miles with Susan, though we were glad when we headed inland out of the worst of the wind! #running

Thanks Trace

Thanks Louise - downhill sounds great!!

Been feeling really tired this week. Maybe a bit of post marathon blues. Glad to get out for a short run this morning, even if it was freezing!! #running

Set my alarm to go out for a run. Woke up before it went off. Decided to not go for a run, but to rest. After my marathon, I’m prioritising recovery, rather than doing too much too soon. And I’m ok with that. #running

Totally! Thanks Henrik

Thanks Louise

We work hard enough. We shouldn’t be afraid to celebrate. 2025 - an ultra, a half and a marathon. Done. #running #runner

Fabulous pics. Rest up. Recover well. Take it easy.

Fantastic Emma - well done.👏

Fantastic - well done 👏👏

Thanks - so happy to have done it.

Dublin City Marathon Faster than my first. Faster than my last. In fact, the Dublin Marathon was my fastest marathon run in four years. But you know, the time you do a marathon in is irrelevant. The achievement is in d…

It has taken me a couple of weeks to process my Dublin Marathon experience. What a day it was. Tough going in parts, but I was tougher and got it done. My race blog is now up. #ukrunchat #marathon #running craigaw1969.wordpress.com/2025/11/08/d...

One year. 3 races. A 50k plus ultra. A half. A marathon. Every one special. Every memory magical. So much of me has been poured into these. Time for a rest. #running #ukrunchat

Welcome to the collection Dublin - Marathon medal number 7 safely added to the collection. 12 medals now on the hanger. 2 ultras, one ultra trail, 2 BrewDog runs and 7 of the 26.2 mile variety. Proud of every one. #running

One week ago at the Dublin Marathon. What a day!! #running #emotion

Definitely worse places for my first run after the Dublin Marathon - a very gentle few miles on a tourist route around Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, The Shard, and along the Thames. Legs still work, just about! #run #running

There’s something hugely satisfying about updating your bio to mark another running achievement. Dublin Marathon completed - 7th marathon overall. We need to celebrate our successes! #run #running

A great few days sightseeing in Ireland and Northern Ireland recovering from the Dublin Marathon. Lots of driving so not exactly great for my marathon legs 😂, but some fabulous places to visit.

I rarely like race photos. In the case of the Dublin Marathon, I rather like the emotion which this captures of those final few metres. #running #ukrunchat

Tired legs but a full heart on medal Monday after running the Dublin Marathon yesterday. My fastest marathon since 2021, and a great day in a great city. #running #ukrunchat

Guinness in hand and Dublin Marathon done. Tough day in cold, windy and wet conditions but delighted with my time and what an amazing support from the people of Dublin. Now let’s celebrate!! #ukrunchat #running

That’s brilliant!! Well done

Thanks Louise

Finding Inspiration “Through endurance, we conquer”. These inspiring words will be rolling through my head as I face the streets of Dublin tomorrow and take on the marathon distance once more. Not somethin…

An inspirational visit to the Shackleton Museum was just what I needed today, on the eve of the Dublin Marathon - final pre-race blog now up. Fingers crossed for a great race tomorrow. #ukrunchat #dublinmarathon #running

A day of driving, ferries, traffic jams, buses, a bit of carb loading, topped off by picking up my number. As ready as I’m going to be for the Dublin Marathon. One more rest day to go then let’s get this done. #running #ukrunchat

Thanks mate - fingers crossed!
