The pre run nerves l had on the morning of the marathron nearly made me walk away from the start.
I'm so glad l didn't once the run they disappeared. The atmosphere is fantastic, the camaraderie of the runner's was something l had never experienced before.
Good luck with it op and l hope you enjoy it as much as l did

Ran it last year , without a doubt the best experience of my life. I hope to do it again next year. When it gets hard dedicate a mile to someone you love to inspire you. Enjoy it mate its the most wonderful feeling  |

It’s an incredible experience !!
Have some good tunes or support ready for the Hill in clonskeagh!!
Don’t forget to look around you and smile.
Those last 2 miles with the crowds and the buzz is phenomenal.
The training is done go enjoy it!!

I'll see you at the finish line op, and a word of advice, do not wear new runners, and as difficult as it may be for you, keep your penis to yourself until after the race  |

Well done on your first marathon, you are In for a fantastic experience, I ran it in 2015&2016 but family commitments took over this year, I'd run three marathons in a year including limk so was training for 18/20 months....the break was nice but am so envious of anyone doing it tomorrow.
Enjoy it all.
Don't worry about the clock.
It will be hard, I won't lie.
But.....once you cross that mat at the finish line you can be so proud of yourself.
You will be buzzing til Xmas. |

I've never run it and I never will. But, my father decided long ago that he would train for the 2nd one. I will never forget the atmosphere up there or his face when he finished. The Dublin Marathon was a great part of our lives for many years.
He always found a nice walk the day after the best way to loosen up the muscles
Best of luck and remember the goal is to finish it, not the time |

"Find a nice arse to run after and you'll remain focused for the entire race."
Know a bloke who did that once,what he didn't know was the nice arse in front of him was only doing the half marathron.
So he ended up doing a pb for the halfway and died a death in the last 5 miles  |
