Bio: I’m from Wicklow town and was coached by Noreen O’Reilly at the Inbhear Dee AC from age 7 until I went to Providence College at 18. Ray Treacy has been my coach since. I’m based in Providence, RI and train with a great group there( www.runprovidence.com ). I spend almost half the year in Ireland and Europe. I’m a full-time athlete this year which is a dream come true! I’m in Tallahassee, Florida at a training camp building a base for the big year ahead.
