Chapter 2: How did Wayne Waldron start running marathons?
That's the truth, yeah. Well, now watch. No, I don't even know what runners. I think I had a pair of Nike Air Max or something. I was running through the Phoenix Park and this fella just went by me. Like, oh, he was just floating around, just getting through the marathon. And this fella just went by me and I says, oh, I'll just catch on to him. Yeah.
Chapter 3: What are Wayne's weekly running distances and training routines?
And he was, I got chatting to him then going by Castlenock and stuff. And he says, yeah, I'm going for sub three. I says, all right, I'll hang on for you.
see what happens he ended up dying off and I ended up getting sub 3 and that's your first ever marathon that was the reason I took up running because when I finished that everyone was all over me saying jeez you need to get a running coach and stuff and Dara and Justin were on to me he says you need to get a coach because like sub 3 now back then it was a lot harder yeah because the science is all the runners and
It's all different. I think that was 2017, 2018. I went back to football and I think I'd done another three weeks in football and I said, that's it, I'm going to take up this running now. I was going out on my own, just every run was just flat to the mat, just doing things arseways.
And I was in denial thinking I needed a running coach, you know, because I had all the background and running with football and all that type of thing. I ended up joining the No Harriers up on the Cunningham Road there. And there was a coach up there, Willie Smith. So I used to go up to them every Tuesday and Thursday. And he had me doing intervals and stuff.
And I was like, this is totally different to what I was doing. And he was telling me, easy runs have to be easy. And when it's hard, go hard. Even when I was going home then, I was doing my easy runs hard. So I was just doing things the harsh way, as you know.
And then I was going into a couple of races and then Kevin English was, I was seeing him at a few races and stuff and he was always pulling me and saying, you need to go and get a coach and stuff. And that went on for a while and I was still in denial about a coach. And then I said, you know what, fuck it, I'm just going to get a coach. And then I ended up going with Kevin for a while.
And then the structure of a plan and consistency and the discipline that I put into it, everything was just improving as I went on. I was getting to a stage where I was like, right, I'm at a decent enough marathon time here. How am I going to get to the next level? So the thing about coaching is that a coach can send you a plan. It's up to you to do the plan, you know.
And whether you're running around the Phoenix Park on your own for 30k, It's a mind battle as much as a physical battle, you know. So I needed, being coached by someone, I needed to be in a group of people that were going to help and pull you along. And obviously people that are better than you. So we had a running group.
We'd meet every Saturday in the park and there'd be me and Ian and Gary O'Hallan and stuff. And we'd always meet up, do the warm-up and then there'd be a group ahead of us. And I'd always say to myself, I need to get to that other group. I need to keep improving and get to that other group. And Ian kept saying to me, he says, we'll be there next year and stuff. And we were.

Chapter 4: What does Wayne think about the importance of coaching in running?
Where have you done them? So you said Valencia, Cork, Dublin.
Valencia was my first abroad. Yeah. And I couldn't believe the difference in the course. Unbelievable course. Compared to Dublin, like I've been breaking my neck in Dublin for five years, like going at that marathon, you know, and full of hills and drags and going to Valencia, it was like a snooker, it was like running around a snooker table. Yeah. It was just unbelievable.
I remember we were 30km, we went past halfway, I think we were a minute ahead of our time and I was saying, I was running in at the time, I said, we're way too quick here. He says, I'll go round and relax. I just felt so good. But then we got to 30k and he said, this is a nice part of the course now. I'm like, a nice part? He says, the whole course has been perfect.
But it just makes a major, major, it's, hence why all the top Kenyans and Ethiopians, athletes, they won't come near Dublin.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean? Or hard courses, they won't go near, they just want the times, the flat courses. Yeah.
Which is why it was weird that your man broke the record in London a few weeks ago, wasn't it? Because London's not an easy course either.
I think it's good. I think London is good, yeah.
It's not one of the slower ones because they were saying if you wanted to break it, you do it in... I can't remember what fucking seat. Is it Berlin? Berlin or Valencia would be the best. They're the ones... Or Sevilla's good. Yeah, if you're going for the record, they're the ones you do it in, yeah.

Chapter 5: How has running evolved in recent years according to Wayne?
Because we were wondering what's the best, say, sport base that you could drop this athlete into another sport and they'd excel in. Do you know what I mean? I was saying, the guy lads are fucking... Yeah, that's in Jordan. They are athletes.
Do you know what I mean?
You see the size of them. Strength-wise, explosiveness. I think you could drop them into... They'd be the most successful across the most sports, if that makes sense. NFL, fighting, whatever.
I think the whole...
Yeah. They're bleeding animals.
They're bleeding animals, yeah. Animals. I love watching it, thinking I'm glad I don't do it. I wouldn't like to do it, no. I wouldn't. The fingers would be broke, yeah.
I've seen an American fella doing a video on it, and he's breaking it down. He obviously is some sort of sports scientist, and he's like, your man's literally, he's pushing off another fella, the defender.
he skills up the slid and he hits it and he scores a point but your man's like look at the angle that he has to get his shoulders back while running and holding off the defender and I was like you know what I never looked at her that way do you know what I mean and you're like you don't realise how much force he's running at and he has to generate swinging back the opposite way and you're like I don't think they'd be paid big money no they're not paid at all it's amateur completely amateur playing in Crowe Park and breaking your neck like literally
and do you know what I think is the biggest the biggest crime of the whole thing is that they have people brainwashed into thinking that it'd be bad if they were paid yeah there's people that will argue like if it come out tomorrow that like we're gonna start paying our players people will be like what are you doing yeah as if it's a bad idea it's a proper sport do you know what I mean proper sport what advice would you give to someone who wants to start running away I would say definitely get a coach and straight away well it depends if you want to run for like easy runs and for your head just to get out of your house or get out of your job or kids or whatever
