Tempted by a marathon?
Do you need support and guidance to get you there? At ForgetTheGym, that’s exactly what we love to do. We want everyone to feel the buzz of crossing their first marathon finishline, and help experienced marathon runners improve. Our marathon programmes are led by Irish Times Running Coach Mary who has completed more than 45 marathons and ultra marathons so has made all the mistakes and learnt all the lessons at this stage. Since 2007 she has coached runners of all fitness levels to complete and enjoy the marathon.
