Podcast #79 Hugh Rooney His Journey from 22st Couch Potato to 13st Marathon Runner

I’ve been looking forward to recording this episode for a long time, a good friend of mine Hugh Rooney from Kilkeel Co.Down now living in Newry, three years ago weighed in at an astonishing 22 st 9lb, motivated by his daughters wedding he now stands on the scales at an amazing 13st 6lb which means he has lost just over 9st.

 

This podcast is a must listen for those looking a bit of inspiration, his journey is a story of growth, discipline to process, and stretching the comfort zone, he now holds a half marathon time of 1:46 and has built up progressive marathon times and is currently running 60 mile weeks aiming for his first sub 4hrs in Chicago and Dublin this month.

 

Hugh is one of the most inspirational people I know, he’s on an amazing journey and I wish him all the best, just love this.......
