Seminar about Ultra-Running in Dublin...Sat 22nd Nov 2014
Will somebody tell me what Gerry Duffy has done in athletics to warrant a place as an Irish Runner contributor and as a 'go-to' guy for all things running?
Losing weight and getting fit is admirable. So is "running" 32 marathons in 32 days. Hardly achievements that any decent club runner will hold in much regard though.
I suppose he's a example of a ordinary joe who went out there and did it. How many of us could run 32 marathons in 32 days and complete 10 iron mans in 10 days and run a sub 5 hour time in the 39.3 Connemara ultra marThon? Surely that deserves attention?
You will be at it so John ;-)
