The Belfast City Marathon was scheduled to take place this Sunday. For those that had been targeting the event, training plans and sessions will have changed and each will be coping with these changes in their own way.
Eoghan Totten (handicap -4.4) is part of the Marathon Potential 2024 programme run by Athletics Northern ireland and supported by the Belfast City Marathon. Here he writes to those who were due to run in the Belfast City Marathon, this weekend. He recalls how his year started, on a Warm Weather Training Camp, with other members of the Marathon Potential Programme before life and training changed but reminds us that "we runners are resilient".
