About Us

Emma(aka one time laziest person in the world) decided before she was 30 she wanted to run a marathon. Aubrey (aka super fit lunatic) decided he'd help her. Together they finished the Barcelona marathon 2011. With her 30th birthday fast approaching Emma was not content with having only one marathon under her belt before the big 3-0 and wanted to take on the King of all marathons - New York City. What could make this challenge even better? Raising €10,000 for the Irish Cancer Society. Over the next four months, they'll be pounding the pavements, shaking buckets and bleeding their friends dry all in the name of cancer research. This will be Emma's second marathon and Aubrey's forth.

Thanks Amphibian King!



Amphibian King is the place to go if you're in the market for new running gear. In particular runners. These guys know their stuff! According to their website :

"Amphibian King is a run specialist and we perform gait analysis to ensure you get the right shoe.

We have a range of running shoes and we stock all of the top brands like asics, Brooks, Saucony, Mizuno, Inov8.

At Amphibian King you can prepare for your triathlon with a visit to our swim shop and then get the apparel for the long distance running

At Amphibian King we promise to put you in the perfect shoes not the most expensive shoe."

They're not lying when they say they put you in the perfect shoe, but not the most expensive. For my last marathon I headed down to Damien and got my gait analysed(this involved running down a short bit of track in your bare feet while you are recorded.The purpose of this is to see how you landwith each stride) He got me to try on various types of runners to understand why I needed the perfect fit. It's so important to have the perfect shoe for your foot. Wearing the wrong shoe can cause injury and be a complete waste of money!

Damien has kindly sponsored us for our marathon challenge and will be kitting us out!

Thanks Damien and all at Amphibian King! :)
