Thanks to Shandon Boat Club Colm Hennessy for organing a #nutrition talk with all junior athletes. Got to share my experience when I was a full time athlete. I can only echo the great work Sharon Madigan & Rónán Doherty from Sport Ireland that was crucial for my success.

Great to support our local charity Marymount Hospice Christmas cycle last weekend 🌲🎅 Some of our own took it more serious than others when the deep section rims and the good bikes came out 😅

I've never loved a game of soccer so much. Poor neighbours with all the shouting, or else it's the chianti talking. #FIFAWorldCup #francevsengland

One week ago already since we finished #RasTailteann in Blackrock, Co.Louth. Big thanks to our mechanic Shane O Connell and our DS Michael Crowley who gave their time and the work they put in behind the scenes every evening. Blarney Cycling Club 💙❤️

Lastly, I cannot forget our best little Blarney Cycling Club supporters who came out for the finish for stage 3 in #Castlebar #Mayo Pity I got caught up in a crash a little over 3km from the finish but they were all smiles when I came in! #UpMayo 💚♥️

My first Rás Tailteann experience completed with Blarney Cycling Club A lot of positives taken away from this race and a huge learning curve. Looking forward to my next one ❤️💙 If I'm allowed Clodagh Butler 🙈

So sad to read about Greig's passing. Tragic accident. He was an absolute gent to anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him.

With winter training getting into full swing. The importance of knowing what zone you are in can make all the difference come summer racing. Get in contact if you want to book a session. If you don't measure you don't know. odonovanmark.wordpress.com/2017/03/08/lac…

An amazing result by Newcestown GAA again! A great team with a common goal, good player cohesion and a strong desire to win. Very proud to have played a small part in this year's football team as a Performance Coach in the latter stage of the season.

Train smarter not harder. Correlate self reporting & other quantitive (Watts,HR,Lactate) markers. If you don’t measure you don’t learn #science Helping the current Munster Champ 🏆 Eoin Clifford #Bandon DM for lactate monitoring.
