dublin marathon

In this episode of Run with Fitpage, we have the pleasure of interviewing one of our trainees - Kishor Shelake, who is currently based in Dublin, Ireland. Kishor and Vikas discuss Kishor's journey to completing the Dublin Marathon with some great timing, in the final episode of the year 2023!

Kishor Shelake, a resilient runner hailing from Satara, has transformed his running journey under the guidance of Fitpage. Despite completing only 80% of the training, he conquered the Dublin Marathon comfortably within the targeted time. Kishor's running adventure began in 2016 with the Satara Hill Half Marathon (SHHM), where initial struggles fueled his determination. After facing challenges and learning from failures, he completed the Berlin Marathon in an impressive 3:25, significantly improving from his previous time of 3:56. Motivated by the desire to surprise his wife and fueled by frustration from not giving his best, Kishor joined Fitpage's Satara run group. His dedication and commitment are reflected in his remarkable progress, culminating in a stellar performance at the 2023 SHHM, completing it in an impressive 1:36.

Looking ahead, Kishor sets ambitious goals, aiming for a Sub 3:00 finish in the London Marathon and targeting a Sub 1:30 time in the SHHM. Balancing life and running, Kishor emphasizes the importance of patience, quality training, and maintaining a well-rounded life. He encourages fellow runners and beginners to trust Fitpage's training plans and advises putting oneself in uncomfortable positions to conquer any obstacles on the path to success. Kishor's journey exemplifies that success demands time and effort but is ultimately a rewarding endeavor.

In this episode, Ciara takes us through her journey into running from signing up for her first marathon in Dublin, multiple marathons in Berlin (including hitting a 3:28 Marathon PB), signing up for a full Ironman, having never done a triathlon at the time of signing up, how she got on during that Ironman, how she faired in the Half Ironman World Championships and her advice for anyone that wishes to take up running.

Dick Hooper won the inaugural Dublin Marathon back in 1980 and claimed the men's title on two other occasions. 

A three times Olympian, Dick has fond memories of the Dublin Marathon and he shares them here with Frank Greally on this Podcast Episode of Heroes and Friends recorded and produced by Nick Moloney.

A little bit of time has elapsed since we visited Gary O'Hanlon at home to record this episode of Heroes and Friends. At the time, Gary had not been able to train for over three months due to injury and he had little hope of making the start line for the KBC Dublin Marathon. However, resilience should perhaps be Gary's middle name, as he has bounced back from that injury and is determined to be on the start line in Dublin on Marathon Sunday. He also called it right when he predicted that the two hour marathon barrier would be broken by Eliud Kipchoge......

Emily Dowling won the women's race in the 1981 Dublin Marathon. Emily started her long and illustrious running career at age 16.  Within a year, she had already earned her first international singlet -the first of many.

In the second in the series of his Heroes and Friends Podcasts, Frank Greally chats with Emily about her running and coaching career,the joy of winning the Dublin Marathon and the disappointment of missing out on Olympic Marathon selection by just one place. Emily also talks about her battle through serious illness and how she continues to share the Joy of Living with the runners she coaches at Sportsworld Running Club

Welcome to the first in a new series of Podcasts featuring Frank Greally in conversation with a selection of his Heroes & Friends.

First up is David - inspirational leader of Team Carrie - also known as Turtles and Hares -  the Marathon Training Group based in Dunleer in Louth.

A former international athlete, David Carrie has for the past 10 years led Team Carrie Training Groups to take part in the Dublin Marathon. Over the decade, all of the runners he has trained have successfully completed the marathon distance- a remarkable record- with no drop- outs. 

Tune in and listen as Frank and David share a fireside chat.

Produced and edited by Nick Moloney.

Song written and sung by Mal Reilly who  ran the Dublin Marathon with TeaFrankm Carrie in 2015 and sadly passed in  February, 2018
