    Hi Everyone,

    With the Electric Ireland GAA Minor Championship now entering the quarter final stages it's fair to say the excitement is growing. If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely check out the story of Cork GAA's Minor hurler Shane Kingston - it's spine-tingling stuff!

    In the meantime, we're giving away four Fitbit wearable tech bracelets to some lucky people. To be in with a chance to win, just leave an answer below to this simple question -

    If you could go for a run anywhere in Ireland with your Fitbit, where would it be?

    Competition closes 4th August. Good luck!

    Along the Barrow track in Carlow is a fantastic spot to run.

    Around the coast of Inis Oirr. Beautiful island to wear a beautiful piece of tech on!

    Wouldn't mind taking the Fitbit for a run with me along the wild atlantic way.

    I'd take my German shepherd on a run with me along my local river, 16 miles of beautiful scenery and nature.

    Given a decent set of legs and a Forrest Gump amount of time I would keep it local and electrical and just keep running.

    I'd start off at Dublin Bay and head inland towards the picturesque Turlough Hill. From there I would head off to the leafy Liffey with a tea break at Poulaphouca. Then it would be on to my final stop, the Poolbeg towers with a much needed dip at the Half Moon swimming club.

    I'll be honest here, I've never run anywhere. I've always been unfit & overweight, but this year I decided to get my act together & start walking. I've kids I want to be able to see grow older.

    I try to get out to walk when I can and have just cracked 3k without being too much out of breath.. Next milestone is 5k and I'd love something like this to incentivise myself & be able to keep track of it. I've seen the weight start to come off but this would push me further.

    When I can walk 5k without being out of breath, then I'll try to run .5k.

    From my house in Baldoyle, around the hill of howth and back again. I have recently started doing this, and I love it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Somewhere in the mountains of Kerry, in a downhill section!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    Hopefully onto the pitch when the final whistle blows and the Dubs bring Sam back home! :D 


  • Registered Users Posts: 897 ✭✭✭NyOmnishambles


    I would love to take it for a run the length of the beach in Enniscrone in Co Sligo

    It is a lifelong ambition for me to run the length and back of that beautiful 3 mile stretch of sand but I was never fit enough to do it in my youth

    it would be interesting to see the results with a Fitbit


  • Registered Users Posts: 31 5dolla12


    I'd use it to track my run home through Dublin every day and monitor my progress at running home faster.

    Either the hallowed turf of Croke Park...


    or


    Along the edge of the Cliffs of Moher!!

    I'd do the warrior's run with it. I'd have to leave it until next year though because I'm nowhere near ready to do it this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,878 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    I'd go for a run around the Wicklow Mountains, maybe around the Sugar Loaf for some great views!

    I'd run home to me Mammy and say "Look Mammy! Look what the nice people at Electric Ireland just sent me, a long time customer! I knew you were right when you said they were fantastic and generous!" :D

    Fair play to ya! My hamstrings were in bits from just walking it last week! :pac:

    I pick the Mourne Mountains. The more secluded the better IMO.

    One run that is on my bucketlist is to do the Bere Island parkrun way down in West Cork, spectacular surroundings in that part of the country!

    Killarney National Park is the perfect running environment. No cars, amazing scenery, and the odd horse drawn cart just add to the wonderful atmosphere :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,793 ✭✭✭g0g


    It would have to be the Cliff Walk from Bray to Greystones. Highly recommend it for anyone who's never been.

    Would love a Fitbit as I have a Windows Phone and it's one of the few smart watches that is actually compatible with WP!
