In the arena in Amsterdam

Training for a marathon or half marathon is hard. It takes discipline over time. It changes you, nine times out of ten for the better. For many it is a pivotal point of change in their life. It’s more than just the training and the running on the day.
‍

Last weekend in Amsterdam over 20 runners from our Dubai and Ireland communities descended on Amsterdam to put their training and discipline to the test in the arena, some for the first time.
‍

Many will say testing themselves locally is one thing but traveling 6 hours, hotel stays, different food and a stark contrast in weather takes the experience to a whole new level.
‍

Incredible results all round. For debutants targets were mashed and for those going out to test themselves against previous experiences we saw some incredible results.
‍

Maybe the commitment to traveling internationally for an event adds a new meaning to the situation that takes performance to another level.
‍

Congrats to those who ran in Amsterdam.
