Endurance - Ireland: NEIL O'ROURKE
Neil started coming to the social run with little to no running experience. A few weeks in, Neil signed up as and IF member with the focus of wanting to do the Eco trail 19k in September. Neil has been met with many hurdles including his natural high heart rate and some common running injuries.
This did not stop Neil. He dug into the advice, got tests done, built up his confidence and continues to place brick after brick on the wall without skipping a section and has seen amazing results.
Recently Neil did a Vo2 max test and after a fantastic result we saw Neil trust in his ability to push. A very positive example of using data to your benefit.
Neil is inspirational in his want to succeed and we are so lucky to have him on the team.

Here are a few words from coach Zoe: "Beulah is one of our community members who has been training with us since April this year. She absolutely loves running and has some very big challenges coming up towards the end of this year. This month, Beulah tackled the WUU2K and, despite a bout of sickness before the race, she stayed consistent and determined in her training and finished the 21km trail run with a smile. Beulah turns up to all of our community sessions no matter the weather, she just puts on multiple layers of clothing and brings a can do attitude! She has shared that Track sessions have helped her shift her mindset when it comes to finding that extra bit of gas to finish an event strong. Mental resilience and showing up no matter what is what Beulah models to the rest of our community.
