OOnegative wrote: » Alright AM, how’s old age......... Fantastic! 1. Why won't you publicly admit your admiration for the Dublin football team? I’ve huge admiration for the Dublin footballers, you know that I just like to rise you about it!! Two of the current players, I worked with there father and brother in AGS. Brian Fenton Snr was an Inspector in Raheny when I first arrived there. A stern Kerryman of few words, but when he retired he was a completely different man. He’d always stop you on the street to chat and ask how you were and how the job was going. Brian Jnr has the Kerry blood so he was always going to be special. James McCarthy’s brother is in the job to, a talented footballer in his own right but multiple cruciate knee injuries that put and end to his Ballymun playing days. James in my opinion is the best footballer for the past 5/6 years in GAA, the man does stuff most people don’t pick up on. He’s class personified in my eyes. 2 Why did you change from tang1 to OOnegative? tang1 had worn everyone out, OOnegative took his place. Plus I love The Goonies!! 3. You inspire loads of people on here but which boardsie has inspired you most? You won’t accept this, but it’s you!! You never complain, you never give out or scold anyone here. You impart advice in such a kind and considerate way. And I’m so happy to see you back posting. I remember that shy lady I met outside Longwood GAA club all those years ago then tortured her as I paced her badly to a 10k PB. You never gave up that day despite my verbal abuse, but you never give up full stop. Not many people like that, great to call you a friend. 4. Tell us something we don't know about you? I can drink a pint of Guinness in 2 seconds(no swallow), it was a great party trick when I was younger & I won a good few quid doing it. 5. What has running taught you about yourself? I’m a thicker cnut than I ever thought I was, I can make myself hurt more than other people. Now that comes across as cocky & brash. But I know I can. 6. Can you tell us anything about your new job?? Nope, I can’t I’m afraid. It’s in the work contract I signed that I can’t disclose/discuss on social media what I now do. I have to respect my employer and my safety. 7. Of all the running plans you've done, which has been the most successful and why? P&D 45-60 miles HMP plan for Amsterdam Half marathon 2019. It’s probably the most injury free plan I’ve followed. I ran 1.22.38 that’s why, a time I honestly thought I could never run for a half marathon. But there’s more there to come off that!! 8. When they make a movie about the legendary Tang/OOnegative, who will play you? Who will TBL? Me, Tom Hardy. Sure we’re practically twins FFS. TbL would be played by Mr Blobby, his twin!!! 9. What advice would you give to your 20 year old self? Fcukin forget what others think of you, don’t spend your early adult year’s trying to impress and gaining other people’s respect who only want to use you for there own personal/professional improvement. Be your own man and sometimes put yourself first. 10. What helps you the most through the tough times? Running to be frankly honest, we all know everything is better after a run. A big hug from my two children helps MASSIVELY to. I know how to control the tough times much better now, I see them coming and I know how to make them that bit easier.

Best training log of all time? 3. If you had to retire from running in two years what would be your goal that you would most want to achieve in running before then? 4. Ever tempted to go back to being coached? 5. You have 300 euro to spend on runners. What would you buy? 6. Favorite fast food/takeaway? 7. How do you relax aside from running? 8. Have you had any long term issues from Covid? 9. If you had to choose between running in tights or shaving TbL's arse which would you pick?

I’ll be honest when he first came back over here, I thought what’s this wannabe Ironman/Adventure racer doing here. Breath of fresh air and I’m really glad he graced our forum with his knowledge & enthusiasm. Teak fcukin tough to. Swashbuckler- he ran away in McGrattens in ‘18 as I was abusing his shorts/tights combo!! Murph_D - Every dinner party needs some class and education, this man has both in abundance. Plus he knows a good cigar I believe.
