October can mean only one thing - that it's nearly time for the #DreamRunDublin team to race! Some nervous faces at the last meetup today - 16 x km alternating fast (4.04)/slow(4.16) pace. 3 weeks to go!! #sub3 #tapertime #teamwork #coaching @dublinmarathon @ACTISNACK

What a morning for the Belfast Half! Looking forward to cheering on all those on my roster and the #DreamRunDublin team! #letsgo #racing #coaching #belfasthalf

10 x 90secs jog with 1min walk in between. It's not much but it's a start! #building #recovery #running

And back at it once again! First day in the gym since the early summer due to a sacral stress fracture! Don't they say it's a marathon and not a sprint?! #building #injury #wegoagain

Great morning coaching some of the #DreamRunDublin squad round a tough progressive 8 x mile with 400m float session. Consistency is building, fitness is improving, the countdown to the @dublinmarathon is on! #7weeks #coaching #sub3 @ACTISNACK

Back in my happy place! Looking a bit more scorched at the moment though. #richmondpark #heatwave #runnersparadise

Dream Team back together!! Great morning chatting about memories, coaching, comebacks, the future and much much more. Let's not leave it too long until the next time @AndrewJamesHobd. @Glasgow_2026 #running #athletics

Excitement starting to build for the women's heptathlon! Let's go @GoTeamNI! @AthleticsNI @Glasgow_2026 #coaching #athletics

Another great day yesterday coaching this year's #DreamrunDublin group. One of my favourite sessions - tempo, hills, tempo, hills. Some very relieved faces when it was all over! Thanks to @ACTISNACK and @dublinmarathon for the continued support. #13weeks #training #coaching

A recent niggle meant that it wasn't for very long but when the view is like this, it would have been rude not to have gone for a run! #France #Pyrenees #Stunning

The results are in!! Congratulations to everyone who was successful in the @LondonMarathon ballot! You're in for a very special experience and memories that will stick with you - as mine have from 2014. Anyone considering coaching, simply get in touch - ppmarathon.com

Probably one of the rarest sights in the animal kingdom - me in a swimming pool! With another day in the 40s though, it would have been rude not to. One length and done! #summerholidays #southfrance #triathlontraining

40+ degrees heat just added to the electric atmosphere at the start of today's @LeTour stage. Inspiring stuff! Often wondered what my indoor cycling legs could do on the road, if only I wasn't so scared of the descents! #letour #summerholidays #carcasonne

Great to catch up with this year's #DreamRunDublin group for a tasty Sunday morning session! All progressing very nicely. #sub3 #training #marathon #happycoach @dublinmarathon @ACTISNACK

Great to catch up with Ronan at @Replay_Physio yesterday. He was invaluable in my journey back to running again post achilles surgery. For anyone looking for a physio I couldn't recommend him highly enough. #physio #teamwork #rehab

Still get goosebumps looking back at all the photos and videos! Happy Olympic Day! #olympicday #olympics #rio #tokyo

Not too long until @Glasgow_2026 Commonwealth Games. After being selected for 3 Commonwealths as an athlete, my fourth will involve wearing a coaching hat! Great networking with some of @_SportNI top coaches last week and hearing from the various sports. @AthleticsNI @GoTeamNI

And just like that, the pbs for the 2026 #DreamRunDublin group have already started rolling in, this time over 10k! First stepping stone to what will hopefully be another successful year at the Dublin marathon! @ACTISNACK @dublinmarathon #progress #happycoach #racing

Another month of up and down training but such is life! Progress may be slow but progress is still being made. #slowlyslowly #onlywayisup

The 23rd May will always be a date ingrained in my head. The date that I found out that a young lad from Belfast would make his Olympic dream! #onedecadeon #rio2016
