Julia's Winning The 1985 Dublin City Marathon!

This is old footage! As you can see :) Of me winning the Dublin City Marathon in 1985 - I thought it would be fun to share it with you!
Run With Julia is an opportunity to talk about your own running journey with a lifetime runner and coach who understands the high and lows, the twists and turns of the running road…
I started competing when I was twelve years old. I loved finding what was possible…
I ran fast times in the 1980’s
5k 15.51
10k 33.29
10m 55.10
1/2m 72.48
Marathon 2.36.31
In 1985 I had the wonderful experience of winning the Dublin City Marathon.
I also competed in the 1986 Commonwealth Games, but had to retire during the race at 20m due to injury.
The personal experience of the ups and downs has been growthful for me, and also given me a depth of awareness that helps me to coach others and help them return after disappointments and set backs…
All these years later I am still loving competing and finding out what is possible….

Ahhh Tanja 😀Thank you so much! 😍I don't think I can run 1 mile at that pace now😂 Maybe something to aim for!❤

Hi, Julia.
I was thinking… were you running Tampere world master athletics 2022 ( Finland) ?

@tanjakelohonka6482 Hello Tanja - I wasn't there 🙏🏻💕

[@tanjakelohonka6482]

Ok…. It was lot of fun! I was there just to take pics of athletes and I just love it!! There was maybe age 45-80. And I say that I want to do that when I’m older.
Well I want to that now but also later in my live if God willing.
And sorry my bad writing skill🙄
Have a great summer and many Good runs 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️🌞

@@tanjakelohonka6482 Your writing is excellent 🙏I completely understand! 💗When i was in my 20's I used to envy actors and musicians as I thought they would be able to do their art all of their lives whereas I would have to stop... But I haven't had to stop and I still love practising my art!💜💞
