Hello and welcome to Up &
Running, NI @ Newry!
We hope you enjoy browsing the site and our TalkBack forum, the most active running-talk forum in NI.
Latest: we are now open on Sundays
The Newry Team ... Michael,
managed two marathons in 2007 - namely Belfast in 3.52 and New York in 4.01- Larne and Lisburn halves and amongst others, the ever-popular Portaferry 10 in July. Running the business (no pun intended) eats into valuable running time but this 'social runner' is much more at home
running the hills, sand-dunes and beaches of Donegal and the North Down coastline than racing competitively.
Catriona,
currently working between the two shops, Newry and Belfast. Lagan Valley AC runner who has been trying her hand at triathlon this summer while getting back to fitness after injury. Looking forward to the cross country season, if only it would stop raining quite so much!
Sara, keen rower with Belfast Rowing Club, currently trying to improve her sculling skills, and who runs as part of her fitness training. Sara is also a fully qualified sports massage therapist, based in Lisburn. Partial to a large American(o) as part of her daily consumption!
Sinead,
outdoor mad, happy to try anything (sporty!). Interests so far include
achievements in triathlon, climbing and Saturday night dance-offs! Presently studying photography,
although is a fully qualified sports massage therapist and Fitness Trainer.
Brendan,
ambitious 400m runner with Lisburn AC, who has posted some impressive times to date. Has lately been having a go at the 400m hurdles and is even considering a duathlon come September. Recently successfully completed his degree in sports physiology in Preston. He is the shop's resident film and music buff! For his next birthday he has requested a 12ft sub from Subway, which he refuses to share!
Stephanie, most recent addition to the gang, Stephanie can also occasionally be spotted in the Belfast branch. Having participated in the Runher 5k in June can we now look forward to a comeback to running, after a promising junior career?? Maybe so, if she can spare the time while also learning to play the guitar and dabbling in a bit of boxing!
