event where my parents can now see me for the full race ๐ working from home has given me the opportunity to work on areas I may have been lacking due to lack of time between work and training and recovering.
People like you make our awesome roads in Ireland unsafe for cyclists like us because your in a "rush" to get somewhere. Why not slow down? Take a breath? What if it was a tractor? Lorry?
Big thumbs up to yesterday's European Cup race in Malmรถ, Sweden.

Sat in Pearse station waiting for the train whilst listening to someone playing the piano (they're quite good) and thinking to myself what a wonderful world. Or else I'm just completely delirious after finishing a bike test and talking shite.
How do you define your own success?
1- Create your own standards (quit judging yourself off other people)
2- Find your calling in life (live the life you were meant to live)
3- Focus on 1% more (commit to doing a little bit more than yesterday)

If anyone comes across the Barkley Marathon while scrolling through Netflix... Watch it. It's weird but really fascinating that this race grew from two guys who loved running in the woods. Entry fee is $1.60, a Reg plate from your country, and a shirt.
"The safest thing to do was keep going. It is literally a battle for your own survival." Irish ultra runner Eoin Keith broke his collarbone during the famous 160km Barkley Marathons in Tennessee last April. The 50-year-old got up and kept going.
Progress in running isn't just measured by running further or faster. It can be measured by feeling better...this can be at many different effort levels. You don't have to hit the 'hard' session to observe gains.
Going to put the head down and keep training hard. This is the most consistent I've been with training in all my years doing triathlon

I think a shift from influencers to athletes who want to work with certain brands because they actually use the product or whatever it is and they see the benefit. Not that they're getting paid to promote. IMO be a person who cares about the brand whether they pay - be truthful
Dear brands,
Please, please, please REALLY consider the influencers you choose to work with & WHY you're working with them. Look beyond the numbers. Numbers can easily be faked or exaggerated! Go for integrity & character.
Love,
Alison & Probably Other People, Too

3 takeaways from
#IAAFDoha2019
1) Doha was a mistake. Not good for athletes or growing the sport. 2) Fans growing even more frustrated with doping. But this sport leads others in catching & punishing cheats. 3) Athlete performance & level of competition in this sport is amazing!
