I started training for the Dublin Marathon in January 2009 after a bet over Christmas 2008 that I couldn't finish a marathon.
Off an average of 15 miles a week I completed the marathon in 3:28. I didn't take it seriously enough to continue so took a year break in 2010.
I decided again in 2011 I would give it another go, yet did less than the previous year and the result was an obviously slower time (3:48).
I again took a year break in 2012.
2013, however, is possibly the dawn of a new era as I decided to quit smoking and actually give it a proper go. So far I am still off the cigarettes and training is going relatively good.
Us "Russells" have decided to take on Amsterdam so watch this space!
