Thanks Neady. I finishing reading Advanced Marathoning this week. I haven’t read any sort of book in ages as never get time but found this really interesting and I made time to keep picking it up. I feel I learned loads from it.

I’d love to be able to cut vegetables like the guys on Masterchef!! The speed they slice veg at is unreal!

There’s an Ultra in Bhutan that my brother and sister in law have done that they rave about. They’ve done all sorts of week long ultras but that particular one they both loved. It’s called The Last Secret. Will never happen as hugely expensive and my family are too young.

Good question! Often to mind kids these days. Used be to help people with CVs or interview skills.

What do you wish you knew more about?

I have quite a few interests that I wish I knew more about. Nutrition is one. I’ve always loved cooking and had an interest in it. I’d love to know more about the science of food and how it works in your body and helps running etc. I started a course online but just didn’t have time to continue with it.

Any quirks?

I’d say I have loads. Was thinking about this earlier as I was hanging clothes out on the line. Then it dawned on me always takes me ages as I hang everything in such a way that all each person’s clothes are altogether and then when taking them off the line everything gets folded in the order they will be put away. Very annoying when it rains and stuff gets messed up :rolleyes: Maybe that’s OCD rather than a quirk, haha! I bet if I asked a few people they’d give me a list!

1) Have you ever lived in any other country and why?

Used travel loads with my first job and go on contracts to various places. Had 3 months in Australia, 9 months in Cameroon in Africa, nearly a year in Sweden. All amazing times in their own way. I then left that job and moved to Poland for two years. That was a mad time. Worked hard in my own business and played hard too!

2) Apart from slow down, what’s the best piece of running advice you’ve received?

It has to be how to pace Dublin last year.

3) Favourite running hairstyle?

Hair up in a ponytail or bun.

4) How many laps of the pool can you swim?

I actually don’t know. I spend minimum 8 hours in a pool teaching each week but I just stand in the centre and teach. I never swim anymore.

5) Do you tan up or go au natural for races?

Normally au natural but I’ll confess I tanned up the legs for Cork and first time ever to do that. The weather took so long to get good that I didn’t start wearing shorts until the middle of May so I got the fake tan out for a few weeks.

6) Are you a night owl or early riser?

Night Owl but early riser by default too. I know I don’t get enough sleep.

BrownEyes79 wrote: »

7) Favourite meal of the day?

Dinner. I don’t make much effort with breakfast or lunch but love my dinner.

9) Favourite movie?

The old ones - Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, Pitch Perfect recently.

10) Have you ever saved anyone in the pool or sea?

No thank god - as in never had reason to. I’m a trained life guard and I renew it every two years but never had to use it.

11) Would you ever think of doing a triathlon?

I would but the cost of the bike and the time to train for all the parts put me off for now.

Bobsleighing. I did it once on a ski holiday but would be fun to do it a bit more as opposed to just sitting in and enjoying the ride.

Last day of questions before I find the next A/R/Tist!

Kellygirl

Hi all, my time in the spotlight is now over. It’s been fun actually and thanks for all the questions.

I’ve found the next willing A/R/Tist but we are going to wait a few weeks and start it up again then.
