Bio: The only major championship i was at was the olympics in 2000 fabulous experience loved every minute of it. Havent being at one since but Athletics for me is more about meeting my good friends and enjoying the circuit, seeing new places and experiencing new cultures. You cant run pbs every week it takes time to adjust to this but once you do you truly can enjoy this fantastic sport. 

At the moment Im coached by John Coughlan in Dublin it s a bit like distance learning he sends me the program i do it . It sounds simple but you have to have a strong mind to go out on your own in the freezing cold and do a greulling session. The coach who probably had the most impact on my life is the Late Paddy Larkin  From Tullamore Harriers . He was an inspiration for me over  the past 10 yrs he passed away in Late 06.
