Weekly Roundup Monday February 22nd:

It was so nice to finally see a bit of sunshine over the past few days and the good weather must have spurred everyone one on as we have loads of members well and truly passed the 100km marks for the February challenge well done all. There's still a week to go and it looks like everyone will cross the finish line.

The DBRC blue was well represented in Dublin and beyond over the weekend with loads of you posting pics with your lovely gear. You wear it well, keep them coming. Whisperings of extended lockdown may have annoyed us all but as always we plough on and keep training looking forward to better times when we can run together. Something to look forward to, we have an exciting announcement in the coming days about a DBRC virtual race so watch this space.....

Well done to members Charles & Lou (ahem) 'still standing' in EOI Last Person Standing, it's on Week 7 now and getting tougher by the week! Let us know if you've anything to report on the virtual race front. See the posts for news of local races Lusk 4 Mile and Portmarnock Road to Beach Run both coming up.

Weekly Roundup Monday November 9th 2020: 

We've three weeks to go in the current Covid Level 5 restrictions so solo training is the only option for now. Hopefully restrictions will allow for us to get together in small groups again in December. In the meantime some great running going on around Howth and surroundings...remember to stay within your 5km radius. 

Well done to Greg O' Beirne for completing the Donadea challenge this week and completing an impressive 21.56 miles in 3 hours 12 minutes. Some great virtual craic and challenges on Anto's page and over on East of Ireland too so make sure to check them out. We'll have our own DBRC virtual challenge for December so a bit of friendly competition and raising money for charity as is the Christmas tradition here. Details to be announced shortly. 

Today's throwbacks to this exact date last year and the DBRC brave souls that took on a freezing day in Bellewstown and as always we love contrast so second throwback is to Lanzarote 2018 and another Canary Islands adventure in the sun. Hopefully we'll get there next year (some people lucky I chose not to share the karaoke footage). 

Keep posting your pics and sharing your updates here #DBRC #whateveryoudodoitinblue

Hi to all! Level 3 continues for us all but thankfully training and running can continue. Please follow the guidelines and remember to give people space.

The featured pic shows Alaistair Higgens being totally awesome last year at Spartathlon.

Also featuring this year Charles O'Duffy being excellently awesome after completing the Virtual Chicago Marathon by running 25 laps around Collins Park, zuper story. It's great when people send in news and pics. Thanks Sinead and John! Please do keep us posted and keep wearing the BLUE.

Next event planned is the Virtual Dublin Marathon.

Lou has set the date for 8am Saturday 24th, start/finish line on the main avenue of St Annes Park. There is a planned 10k loop, you don't have to stick to it but as long as we start/finish the same area, could be a great blue day out. Hope you can attend or participate! The event is open to all members, past present and future!

Be safe! Wash Your Hands! Follow The Protocols! Run Like Corona is after You!

WEEKLY ROUNDUP MONDAY 29th JUNE 2020

The virtual action continues, but we get the feeling the real thing will be all around us soon.  

The DBRC Shore2Summit is scheduled for this Sunday July 5th.  Other  small local events are starting too. No sign of parkrun for the moment. The logistics of the timing etc is causing issues and has to be worked out and larger events are presenting their own issues with current distancing/ spacing requirments.

News is the Hamburg Marathon will go ahead on September 13th this year with 10,000 runners and 4000 in the half. Where there is a will...  It's encouraging to see event organisers try all they can to keep events running and runniNg safely.

Great results for DBRC in the 10k with Karl Bingham winning and George Brady 2nd in the 20 Mile.  The Donadea series continues.  Well done to all members who have taken up the challEnge.  Members results continue to roll in for the Virtual Run Across Tennessee 1000k. Most excellent running to all involved.

Weekly roundup Monday 1st June 2020.

.

It was a beautiful weekend and it seems set to continue for a while. Make sure to keep hydrated out there.  Tomorrow the handicaps and line up for the final of the DBRC virtual will be announced, one more sleep, if you still want in, let me know!

The only confirmed race we know of to date, is The Run From The Crum on October 3rd. It's a tough 24 hour dash to get as far away from Belfast's Crumlin Jail as possible in 24 hours.  

We will watch for other events and post accordingly.

.

The East Of Ireland Virtual and Donadea Virtual series both continued. 100k or a mini untra 28 miles for Donadea and 10k or 12k for EOI.

.

There were most excellent performances for DBRC with Male and Female winners in the 10k but overall really good times.

If ever you were going to try to big distances, the Donadea Series is a great opportunity. The distance may seem daunting but can be done in one day or over a few days and it literally starts and ends on your door step! 

.

Listed below are the stats, be proud all. 

.

It is great to see groups meeting up and getting out. Remember, for the moment it's a case of minding the rules, keep your distance, wash your hands and throw on the sun cream especially given the weather.

Keep safe everyone and be BLUE in the best possible way.

Send your times by pm to me, email (gpobeirne@gmail.com) or post on the page.

This weekend the distance is 45km 350 metres, over 4 days, fancy a challenge? See the Donadea site for details.

Zuper well done to George Brady for completing a 50k run for Pieta House this weekend, raising a positive ball of money, and for a 10k dressed a the honey monster (new nickname in the offing!)  Congrats too to Karl Bingham  on his 5k challenge, zuper run.

Anyone else get up to anything?  Let us know!   Everyone deserves a shout out!

The recent announcements have set out a timeline for the easing of restrictions and all we can say is hopefully soon we can get back together in some capacity shape or form.

Here is the link to the actual site 

https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/e5e599-government-publishes-roadmap-to-ease-covid-19-restrictions-and-reope/

Winner by a comfortable margin even when the handicap was applied is Darrell Ramsbottom in both the 1 mile and 2 mile catagories. Zuper congrats!  Our Random Selected Virtual relay was won by Frank Mc Morrow and Darell.  Smashing stuff and great times,  now we know what we are about, we'll organise another one and keep you posted on details!

Lots of other events. Congrats to all those who took part in Virtual races/ runs.  Karl Bingham for a 10 miler, Siobhan Mulvey for 10k, Eva Tomonyiczka for 1/2 marathon.

Congrats and well done also to all those who took on the Donadea challege of 63.3km this weekend. Some did it over the 3 days and others in one go. Congrats again, the Blue will be in zuper shape for the first marathon to be held for sure.   

 Runners included were Al Higgins, Rolando, Anto Sheridan, Greg O'Beirne, Stephen Mullen, Sharon Wilders, Tom Reyolds (and Teresa of course!)  (If we have missed you let us know!)

Sinead Morrisey was presented with her prize for placing the in the 2miler the week previous. The Grand Prix Series may be one of the first short distance events back.

Weekly roundup Monday 19th April 2020

Round about this time last year, if memory serves me right, and it sometimes doesn't, lol, the Grand Prix Series was in full swing, we had the National Road Relays and the East Of Ireland events in Donabate.  I've lost the pics of Donabte bar a few, but we have great images from a great day out at the Road Relays. 

Sunday 19th was to be the date this year, but due to, well you get it, it wasn't to be.  DBRC walked into the lions den last year, the standard over these short distances was extremely high but we held our own, performed really well as teams, and certainly were the best represented and supported club on the day. 

In our history we have had some results in this club, with major individual wins, but the pride of that day and the team spirit stays with us.  Hope these pics bring back a flavour of the day and we will get our chance to take on the challenge again and certainly to display the team and family spirit that makes us DBRC. 

.

Stay safe everyone ! KEEP IN TOUCH !  And let us know what you get up to in BLUE!

Weekly roundup Monday 13th April 2020

Thank you so much to all our contributors this week, there are enough work outs and ideas to keep you fit and active and in shape for when  we meet again, for now you can have your very own hall of gain at home.  

These are serious and distressing times, we sincerely hope you and yours are well and are unaffected. Lets keep a sense of perspective and at the same time keep life as normal as possible.  The message remains the same, stay safe, follow the instructions, stay in your 2k and please please be kind and considerate to other road and pathway users.

Around about this time last year DBRC were winning at Santry in the Grand Prix.  This week it seems the only event going was a virtual cycle race, our very own King of Scotland Alastair Higgins came in top 100. Here's hoping there can be a few more similar events to compete in.

One sad item, our very own DBRC pooch and Clonliffe Race winner Roxy has passed on. Pictured below with George Brady.

Stay safe everyone ! KEEP IN TOUCH !  And let us know what you get up to in BLUE!

Weekly roundup Monday 6th April 2020

 

Hi to all. It's Monday and time to take stock and to send out those virtual hugs :) .

What can we roundup? Nothing really!  But we will come up with some club based activilty very soon!

.

This time last year we were busy in St Annes Park at the 10 mile National Championship. There's a few pics included below to bring back a taste of the day and a good day it was too!  

.

We hope you are all safe and well. Let's keep those zuper fit bodies active and moving. We can't say it enough, and we are not preaching.  

Stay safe! Use the 2km app!  Run responsibly!   Please stay inside your 2k zone.  None of us would like for people wandering into/around our own area either, it's temporary and just for a while. Think of it as a new form of 'zonal' training! 

For now it's the only advice and sensible thing we can say, apart from Wash your hands! 

It really is great to hear members are keeping active and using the best of their time and trying new things such as pilates and yoga as well as their daily run. We can all only wish this difficulty passes soon and we can return to some sort of normality.

.

So please, be safe, everybody make the effort to stay in touch with each other, and keep us posted!

Weekly update Monday 30th of March 2010

 

Hi folks!  It really is lovely to see everyone's posts, with tips for workouts and different ways to keep the fitness levels up.  We have a great way to stay in touch, keep close and let each other know we are safe and well, so do let us know what you are up to and keep posting.  It doesn't  take me to say that these are strange days indeed. Please everyone stay safe. Take the advice. Wash your hands. If running, run sensibly and responsibly. Keep in touch with each other. This time will pass! Keep your immune system strong, keep healthy and when that first race comes around it will be so good to let it rip and get back to what we love.

Here's a few images from recent posts. A goal can seem very far away especially at times like this. But belief can make it possible. Don't let these difficult times stop us from dreaming. 

Finally a big shout out to Mr. Frank McMorrow, one of the Aer Lingus pilots involved in the recent mission to China for hospital supplies.  Proud of ya pal!

Stay safe! Use the 2km app!  Run responsibly!  #me/we #whateveryoudodoitinblue

Weekly update Monday 23rd of March 2010

Hi to all ! Thanks for sending in your selfies, and thank you most of all for being responsible and taking care to leave space when out and about and being very mindful of what is going on around us. We are all in this together. It certainly looks like more restrictions may come in although we are just guessing. Please please keep your distance, be prepared,  and maybe it's time now to consider a home routine to keep your fitness levels up. It's for all our sakes.   We couldn't pick a winner! (it was you Karl lol)  You are all winners!

We're all going to stay positive, keep in touch, and as a club we can pull together even if remotely :)

Be Safe, be Kind, be Good as you can and  be BLUE in the best way possible!  #me/we

Full membership is €75 which includes AAI affiliation & one club top. 

Random update ! Wednesday 19th March 2020

We hope everyone is safe and well during this most unusual of times.  With no events being possible, do you remember what we were doing this time last year?  One big event was the DBRC takeover  day at Brickfields parkrun Drimnagh, having already successfully provided all the volunteers previously for St Annes, the DBRC crew headed over to the South side for a fine Saturday morning. Here are some more images too from that time. What were you doing? 

Stay safe everyone and see you soon!

Weekly Update Sunday 15th March 2020.

Hi to all. We trust you are all safe and well and being sensible out there. Kinda tricky to do a round up in a time such as this but there's more to it all than just results. we won't post safety notes or instructions, you have all heard and read the Official notices, so pay heed and stay safe. We want to see you all safe and well as soon as things begin to return to normal.  

Official training is suspended for the moment until further notice, most if not all races are also cancelled or postponed, even parkrun. We know many of you continue to run and train and we should as long as possible in safety. 

Congrats to Joe Kiernan on another martahon this week. Here's a few pics that crossed the desk during the week.  Keep on keeping blue, see you soon, take care out there, and lets all stay in touch!  Keep the spirit alive.

Me/We are more than runners!

WEEKLY ROUNDUP  Monday 10th of February 2020. 

Donadea weekend!  And Donadea did what Donadea does. A fantastic race where the ultras meet the marathoners, with the ultras having to speed it up and the chancer marathoners having to keep it going that few miles further. It’s a no prisoners taken National Championship over 50k and it’s done on a trail course.

 

Top performances for DBRC this year must go to Alastair Higgins for his 4^th place in 3h 31m (whilst fighting a cold) and Eva Tomonyiczka completing her first 50k in style (check out that finisher pic!).  

 

A huge thanks to those who came out to support. Hope you enjoyed the day, your presence was a great boost to the runners and much appreciated.

Full list of DBRC results below and proud to report that all the DBRC finishers made it in under the 5hour cut off.  Commiserations to those who didn’t make the start or finish line.

  

DBRC came 2nd and 9th in the team event this year, and our runners acquitted themselves really well with just one minute between 1st and 2nd!  We have a whole year to get the team back up to full strength, lets be having you! There is normally an unrestricted time event at Donadea in June if you fancy a trial run.  You can do this!

Elsewhere Joe Kiernan continues to knock out marathons, and parkrun continues as usual.  Well done all.

Next up is the EOI Clontarf not a mid-week marathon this Thursday and the week after, on the 22^nd, the EOI events in Lusk.

 Thanks to all who have signed up for the Terenure 5 mile (11am Sunday May 10^th) for the club discount (15 euro). We are holding applications open for a little while longer if anyone else wants in.

Training continues, Tuesdays, Thursdays and trail runs Saturdays, be there, join in, make it happen!

If we have missed you, let us know!  All news welcome!

Whatever you do, do it in Blue!

WEEKLY ROUNDUP SUNDAY 26^TH JANUARY 2020.

 

Evening all!

Zuper performances today at the Axa Raheny 5 mile, many personal bests, and overall great running, just awesome as predicted.  It really is fantastic to see the club so well represented and for members to turn in class performances. 

The coming weeks will be busy with so many races coming up, the Trim 10 mile is next, then the big event on the 8^th, the Donadea 50k, Lusk 4 mile and of course the EOI events to mention but a few.

 

The club awards night and AGM is this Tuesday. It’s important for all members to attend. The new committee is to be selected and there are many other posts to be filled and up for grabs, including this one.  Your club needs your input to decide, or if you feel you have something to give, and are interested in a post. Please come forward for selection and let the committee know.

I’ve certainly enjoyed sharing your running journey over the last year and a half. It’s been nothing but awesome, entertaining and inspiring.  Keep it up and always, whatever you do, do it in BLUE!

! So see you on Tuesday!

Here’s the stats!

WEEKLY UPDATE MONDAY 6TH OF JANUARY 2020.

The year has hardly started and there has been so much action! Congrats to all who took part in the Dublin Masters Cross Country Championship on Sunday. It’s great to see the club perform at the highest standard  events. We had some fine individual performances, without a doubt if we had more entrants, DBRC would chart highly in the club rankings. We can look to that going forward in this and other events. 

Many members took part in double parkruns on New Years Day, Numbers were high at training runs, lets keep the momentum going. Races will be coming thick and fast over the next few weeks, so keep us posted and the very best of legs.  The Axa (Raheny 5) is on January 26th (Sunday), we have many members entered and look forward to a great day out. EOI Marathons for January are Thursday 11th and Saturday 18th.

WEEKLY UPDATE MONDAY 2nd OF DECEMBER 2019 .

 

November’s gone and it’s full speed ahead into December, but apart from the obvious celebrations on the way, there, are so many races over all distances coming up, including three EOI Howth Marathons (13^th/14^th/27^th).  Lanzarote is next week, best of legs to all travelling.  

But hold on, what about last week!  Lots to report on, we had a great team at the Valencia Marathon, commiserations to Frank McMorrow who didn’t get to run and well done to the crew who did.  Aoife Scott scored a nice pb at the Clontarf half, and Mark Conlon smashed his pb with a sub 20 min. parkrun win at Corkagh Park

Fab to see high numbers at training, keep up the good work.

Congrats and well done to all, here are the stats!   If we have missed you be sure to let us know!

WEEKLY UPDATE MONDAY 25th OF NOVEMBER 2019 

The 2019 Grand Prix Series finished up on Saturday with the final race, the Horan Cup in Santry Demesne.  Last years race winner, George Brady was back to try and retain his title. Alas George lost out by the narrowest of margins, 0.02 of a second, probably due to Georges dog stopping for a tree break!

The race itself is 111 years old and is run over 6 miles of cross country. Well done to all members who took part in the series, we had some great results over the 8 months and certainly made our mark as well as having some great nights on the track. Thanks to Captain Tom for organising.

The final results of the series will be released on Friday 6^th of December at 8.30 at Santry Stadium. DBRC are in 8^th place and this may improve depending on the points awarded for the last race.

Things to note !

Our Club night out is on Saturday December 14^th.  Hope to see everyone there!

Captain Ann reminds us that the Cross Country Season is in full swing and has recently posted about the upcoming masters (+35) event in St Annes Park in January.  All welcome!

Here’s the stats we have for this week, well done to all who got out there and did their stuff. We had good numbers at the Hall of Gain on Tuesday night. Let’s keep the numbers up, keep the training up, and keep that DCM feeling!

Weekly Roundup Monday 28th of October 2019.

Anyone do anything the weekend?  WE did !  Dublin Marathon weekend and we had a whole host of fantastic results, pb's and sub 3's  (Darrell Reamsbottom) , sub 4's and stories galore, races being pulled from the fire, first marathons (Eoin Robinson/ Martina Harte/Aoife Scott) 100th Marathons (Charles ODuffy) 190th Marathons (George Brady) and just all round general awesomeness!  Thank you so much to all those who came out and supported, this contributed in no small way to the day and what was achieved.  There will be a massive amount of pictures to come over the next while, below are just a few to bring back a flavour of the day. It's hard to find words for it all, so we will repeat what Mr Copeland said himself earlier.....

"  What a day..so many stories, so many pbs, so much desire and stubbornness to get through and push on when the body screams 'STOP!'..Im so super proud of you all,as you should be of yourselves..yet again, for a small club we punch above our weight...You are all amazing.. #dcm #wedidit #loyalblues
Me?We!  "

Elsewhere in the world Rolando and Rex took on the open 24hour at the IAU event.  Maura Dineen was in the Triathlon event in Ibiza, and Carmel Ward had a win as 1st lady on Wednesday in a 2 mile race.

A very big congrats to all who pushed the boundaries this week and got the rewards.  Pb's for Suzanne, Caroline and Linda, Ger goes sub 3 again, Charles hit the 100 mark, but he has promised to do it all again at DCM so he can buy us all a pint.  Tom bags another 100 miler in Virginia in style coming 4th.   Safe travels to you all and see you soon on home ground.

The Grand Prix Series moved to Malahide for a 10 miler, we had a strong showing but have to wait for the official results.

Weekly Roundup Monday 7th of October 2019.

A Fantastic weekend, EOI Lusk always delivers and then our very own race on Sunday. The Chalea Gonda 5 mile was a great success, many thanks to all that ran, marshalled, posted, advertised or helped in any way. The feedback has been very very positive. We had a worthy winner in Irish International Ian Conroy, our club champion is Ger Copeland and Avril Challoner was first lady with a storming performance. 

At Lusk, Geroge Brady took the honours in the full, Jenny Bowers took the 1/2 with 2nd, 3rd and 4th being taken by our boys in blue.  Carmel Ward and Ger Copeland won in the 10k and there's a mass of results in the 20 miler including a pb for Ann McDonnell. Well done to all!

.Weekly Roundup Monday 30th September 2019.

Which is better? To run longer? Faster? A new PB? To go further than you ever have before? Head out training with friends? Or run alone?  We have all of these this week ! Massive performances on top of all of the usual great and wonderful stuff you all get up to. 

We don't want to single anyone out for special praise, but sub 3 hours is always worth a shout out, Ger Copeland and Mark Messitt take a bow. Jenny Bowers enters the sub 4 hour group. Our Spartathlon warriors Alaistair Higgins, Anne Jennings and Rolando Espina, what can we say, big boys races indeed ! 

This Saturday we have EOI Lusk, and right after on Sunday our very own 5 miler.  Keep the push for sign ups. It's a great route and fab event, being in the Autumn this year adds an extra edge to the run this time and it should be special. 

Keep up the training ! Keep on doing what you do and do it in BLUE !

WEEKLY ROUNDUP Monday 9th September 2019

Hi and good evening to all you in Blue !  Last weeks results have been updated with the results for EOI event, again well done to all.   Nice results including some pb's.

It has been a busy week again to report on, great results, and good numbers at training. Keep up the good work and let's make big push on promoting the 5 miler in October !

Welcome back Mr Copeland, with a zuper 2nd place at Dingle and congrats to all who made the long journey to compete and represent the Club.  Carmel couldn't make the parkrun to get her three in a row but took a handy 4th place in the Bull Run 4 mile on Sunday instead.  Avril was sky scraping again running on the mountains.

DCM is fast approaching, but there is so much racing still to do before this, with at least three EOI events and the Monaghan weekend (28th/29th) plus the re-start of the Grand Prix series this week in Sanry on Thursday 12th.

The Dublin Half Marathon is on next week October 21st.   Some club members missed out on numbers so if you are unale to attend or not going to run, you know where to post !

Everyone deserves a shout out. If we have missed you, let us know and we will gladly pop you in there.  Lastly, Ger finally received his medal for the Dublin Marathon last year, 3rd place in age cat. Well done Sir and nice to get it, even if the delivery service was a trifle slow, we guess they couldn't catch up to you!

! Whatever you do, do it in BLUE !
