Superb - we’re just back from our weekend staying wi a pal in Sandymount. Had a couple of runs out and back to BlackRock and a wee jog down to see the Poolbeg Chimneys. Hadn’t realised it was quite so flat - enjoyed it mind, good to try something different. Back home by our hills here in Argyll 🦄👍🏴😸
@@rajkumarraosinhji1397many thanks! Barry graciously led me on an incredible 10-miler in Dublin last week. For the race, the Naked T/r is in a class by itself for sky-running. Will report back! Hope you’re well.
LOVELY Barry!!!! I admit that I live where I do very much because of running … from my door I can choose flat or hilly, shady forests or open fields, protected valleys or high open plains, along waterways, country, town or take the train into Paris and enjoy those huge city parks before or after a gym workout!! I love heading off on new adventures too and my latest was finally completing the entire Orge River from source to where it flows into the Seine at Athis Mons … awesome adventure !!! I love love love the changing seasons too, though ESPECIALLY the magical bluebells in spring, and yes even the rain too can be wonderful !!!
I love bluebells, one of my favourite flowers...I do love the variety in running and when I made this video I kept thinking back to places I haven't run in awhile, but getting back to proper marathon training means more long runs and more variety!
@@bartekzielinski1645 THANKS so much Bartek !! I must say I felt a little emotional standing there at the River Seine at the end … my train passes that spot too so almost every day it brings me a warm smile!! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I know what you mean. I love running in all sorts of environments,but am especially lucky,that I can do a nice seven mile round run,through countryside along the river Ouse and into the centre of York.What a treat to run through the mediaeval streets,past the cathedral and then back along the river.
Wow that sounds lovely!! Did you know there is also an Ouse River in Tasmania ? The Brits were certainly not very imaginative naming most places in Australia
@@bev9708 Ouse is an old celtic word,meaning water,like uscabay,or whiskey.,isn't there a native name for the river,or has that long since been forgotten?
@@alanrobinson2229 Ohhh interesting , I had no idea!! Apparently every river in Tasmania is named after a British river, like most places in Australia are named after British ones. Sorry, a notice name??
Well, I'll be coming to check these out at some point for sure. You certainly sold your hometown to me Barry - looks a lot of fun to run in. I need a car to get to the 'good' Melbourne running spots - it's all suburban industrial estates around where I live.
Come on over, our summer coincides with your winter so a great time to come...and the weather will be about the same! The only run I needed the car for in the video was into Wicklow when I made the Atreyu Trail video. The others I have run there and back, with the exception of Greystones which I can train out from around the corner and run back, though the coastal path has been closed due to erosion recently...I do run in the industrial estate which is at the back of the nearby park...and I enjoy that too!
@@bev9708 Melbourne weather is actually not to dissimilar to Dublin by Australian standards = every Australian thinks Melbourne is the coldest Australian city... except for Tasmania ; - )
As I live in Ringsend its really east to head north or south along the coast or inland to the Park...hopping on the Dart out to Malahide and running back along the coast is one of my favourite runs, though the wind can be a zapper...
I love Dollymount. I was born in Raheny and love running through...if I am running back from Howth I sometimes run in the causeway, along the strand and out the woodenbridge...magical
Watching your video there at one point I thought OH I run around the ducks too on one of my favourite routes , and swans too, but I hate getting duck shit on my shoes!! Then I realized ohhhhh the DOCKS!!! 😂😂
Ha! I was running in Regents Park one day in London and ended up in the pond with the ducks! Will get around to explaining that some day… I still laugh at it looking back… I was fully submerged..might make a video of it and my favourite running spots in London…
@@bartekzielinski1645 😂😂 Must admit to jumping and screaming every now and then at a root or a stick that looks like a snake, even did it just a couple of days ago, even though I’ve never once seen a snake in France … but of course every Aussie has too many snake stories to ever completely "recover" 😂😂
Great stuff. Very inspiring. As a French man soon relocating to county Delgany I feel it's my duty to point out Greystones is not in country Dublin😅. Thanks for the video and the tips.
You’re right of course. Maybe I meant the small part of Bray that’s in Dublin. But I’m really clutching at straws! Can’t wait for the Bray to Greystones walkway to reopen. Hope the move goes great for you!
Fantastic video (noticed clips that I liked from way before). This video had memories (I remember some due to shoes you reviewed). Must find work in Dublin so I can move there. Maybe Dublin Chamber of Commerce or Tourism office should sponsor this video. One query: What races do you recommend near/in Dublin in 2024? Any 10K or 20K or half marathon or marathon that provides an experience like this video suggests? Would that park be the good point? There was a video before about you running near the Ambassador house. It was a marathon prep video I think. Thanks!!!
The economy is good so there does seem to be lots of jobs, particularly in tech...though they have suffered a little from cutbacks recently worldwide. Some of the best races here are Parkruns, 5k every Saturday....very enjoyable and very easy to just show up and run. The dublin Marathon is on in late October. I haven't run in it and have no plans to. My friend Liam has run it about 10 times and says if you enter early you can get into it...There are lots of races and fun runs...and you can run around the Phoenix Park on all sorts of terrain...
Traveling to Dublin for the first time in two weeks, just wanted to see what running etiquette is around town, especially where crossing streets is concerned.
Jaywalking is legal and is done as a matter of course. The pedestrian traffic signals are somewhat erratic in terms of timings. Watch out for the bicycles. Other than that it's fairly straightforward, take the usual precautions you would in any city. If I can help with anything just email. Address is in the description. Have a great time!
Great camera work Barry. Your video really highlighted how gaudy the external signage on the GPO is. How An Board Pleanála allowed that I'll never know. It's an interesting / annoying report to read. Larry Goodman won't be impressed with you referring to the Baggot a street building as Bank of Ireland 😂. Similar to the Pepper Canister, I can't see "Miesian Plaza" catching on.
Ha! I had forgotten it is now the Miesian Plaza...will always be the Bank of Ireland to me. I had an office across the street for a few years...and of Course Lansdowne Road will never be the...
Your filming of your runs in the city would give Rocky in Philly a run for his money. I have actually never been to Dublin, The city itself looks a lot less hilly then Cork (exluding the coast run), but that might have been your filming / editing. I hope training is going well 🙂 and any niggles are being held at bay.
Dublin is a lot less hilly. The Liffey runs through in a slight valley and the coast along the bay is almost entirely flat. with hills at the edges in Howth and Killiney...whereas Cork is very hilly and the river Lee meandering...I made a run across Cork because Joyce's father was from Cork City...love visiting Cork and meandering around the narrow side streets...Training is gone well! Might make a video about that...

Great stuff! I’m heading down to the Poolbeg later in this mad weather.
I hope to run in Ireland one day. Thanks for the inspiration.
Cheers...if you ever come and need someone to show you around just give me a shout...
Awesome, Barry! I even recognized a few of these stellar locations. Training now for the Pikes Peak Ascent next month. Godspeed!
Best of lucks, Troy! Let us know when you are ready about your gear (example Norda 001 or 002)? Thanks!!
Cheers Troy1 It was gret to see you here in Dublin...and the idea of an ultra is whirling around in my head...
Wow!!! All the best for that Troy and ENJOY!!!

Great stuff Barry, what a wonderful part of the world you live, and run in!
It is pretty nice allright...Dublin is great for being big enough to have variety but small enough to have familarity...

Couldn't agree more, I quite enjoy a rainy run sometimes in Ireland if you have the right gear on. The streets are quieter.
Although I do love a good sunshine run in a foreign country
Try running in Temple Bar on a Friday Night!
Good video. I'm monotonous in that I do almost all of my running in the phoenix park but it definitely gives me food for thought to vary it up.
As I live in Ringsend its really east to head north or south along the coast or inland to the Park...hopping on the Dart out to Malahide and running back along the coast is one of my favourite runs, though the wind can be a zapper...
Dollymount beach runner myself…5k long beach..great to run on..any time of year..love it..sunny warm day you wouldn’t know if you were in lanzarote❤️

Very nice Barry, you must love running the Dublin Marathon. Would love to see a video on that at some stage.
Ha! I was thinking of making one as a spectator...going to try Dingle next year...

Lovely video, living in such a beautiful city sure makes your running even more enjoyable.

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!
