“Yep, I’ll say it, I’ve had a real glow up. Whether or not you think you’ll make it, go for it anyway. From 24-39 it’s been worth every step”

Even if success isn’t guaranteed, the journey itself is valuable and rewarding. Anything can happen and it’s worth pursuing your goals no matter where you are in life 🥇 we’re feeling inspired @abilyle 🥹
Looking back to a special moment in Team Ireland’s history. John Treacy’s remarkable journey to his iconic silver medal in the marathon at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, running in the searing Californian heat.
Commentated on by the late Jimmy Magee, Treacy’s storied career marked by national titles and international accolades, reached its pinnacle at the 1984 Olympics with his silver medal.
It’s two months to the day since Daniel Wiffen had Irish people across the world frantically pacing up and down for 7 minutes and 38 seconds (a new Olympic record btw) willing him on to win Gold in Paris 😅

After the Olympics, most people would take a well-earned break—holidays, relaxation, Netflix and chill 😴But then there’s Finn, Robert, Sean, and Mark... who thought, ‘You know what would be fun? An 800km, self-supported gravel race.’ Because who needs recovery when you can really spice things up with a casual Spanish cross-country adventure instead? 😅
