#268: Cian Charlton: Marathon Running, Training Tips, 35 Vintage & More
In this episode of the Any Given Runday podcast, we welcome runner, entrepreneur and content creator Cian Charlton (@ciancharlton on Instagram)
Cian is a sub 3 hour marathon runner who recently came 3rd in the Great Ireland run with an incredible 33:57 time, 2nd in the Westport half marathon and winner of the Another Way 5k. If you don’t know him for his running content, including that video of him reccing the Dublin half marathon this year on his bike, which I think we all saw, you might know him as the owner of 35 Vintage, in Fade Street.
Cian discusses his running journey, from playing football and then transitioning from DJing and college partying to becoming an accomplished runner and the owner of 35 Vintage on Fade Street. Learn about his training routines, the role of social media in his journey, and his tips for anyone looking to take their running to the next level.
