The Inspirational Runner Podcast
Sports:Running
Finally we got a chance to catch up an extremely inspirational runner Mary Hickey from Arklow, in 2018 at the age of 65 she decided to run the 1500 miles around the coast of Ireland in pretty grim weather conditions, she raised a staggering £70,000 for the RNLI and was awarded the outsider magazine women of the year award.
If that wasn’t enough tomorrow the 30th June she finishes a lap of honour where she completes the same course in the opposite direction on her bike, with her birthday a couple of days ago she is the beautiful age of 67 showing the age really is just a number.
Running isn’t new to Mary, she is the only women to have completed all 39 of the Dublin Marathon’s, gracing a pb of 2:57, winner of the Wicklow way and finisher of iconic races such as Boston and Marathon Des Sables.
