C25K Success stories: My name is Deborah Mangan and my C25K journey began 3 yrs ago and I can honestly say I have never looked back. Receiving that flyer through my letter box was the start of something that I never ever thought possible as I literally could not run to the top of the stairs let alone run around a 400 meter track. I hadn’t done any running in years and was fed up paying for another gym membership that I hardly ever used so I decided to give C25K a go and see what all the fuss was about. A decision well worth made. By being part of this fantastic group not only am I training every Tuesday and Thursday evening but I have now gained the confidence to actually go out running around Dunboyne village myself – something I never thought possible and have ran in races in the Phoenix Park, Ratoath not forgetting the Dunboyne 4 mile road race to name but a few. I feel healthier, happier and have met many new friends some of which I have now become “run buddies” with. The coaches are fantastic and the support of Ger, Lyndon and Eleanor is endless. I very much look forward to another C25K season in 2018. If I can do it, anyone can. So, go on, give it a go, you won’t regret it as I certainly haven’t.
PS. Deborah is in the right
