Sporting Spotlight

This week to celebrate the Dublin Marathon, Breifne chats to Rob Costello, a veteran of 20 marathons, about how he got into running in his mid twenties. He talks about playing social football through college and deciding to join a group from work in a marathon in Barcelona, how a 100km race is 'only two and a half marathons' and suffering in 42 degree heat during a 100 mile race attempt in the Western States Endurance Run in the USA. He has completed twenty marathons across the globe including Dublin, Barcelona, Sydney, Gold Coast, Melbourne, San Francisco amongst other exotic locations He also chats about how his swimming has held back his Ironman ambitions although he hopes to rectify that in the future.
