Plant-Powered Miles: Simon Kelly Prepares for Dublin Marathon

In this episode

In this episode of the Middle of the Pack Podcast, Padraig sits down with Simon Kelly of Plant Based AC for a wide-ranging conversation about running, health, nutrition and preparing for the Dublin Marathon. Simon shares his journey back to running after his rugby days, what drew him towards a plant-based lifestyle and how going vegan became an important part of his approach to health and performance. We also get into the practical side of marathon preparation — how Simon is structuring his training, building towards Dublin, managing the demands of running alongside everyday life, and how he plans to fuel his body for the big day. There’s plenty of honest conversation about what it really takes to prepare for a marathon as an everyday runner, the lessons learned along the way, and why nutrition and recovery can be just as important as the miles themselves. A great chat about running, lifestyle, consistency and the journey towards the Dublin Marathon — with plenty for any middle-of-the-pack runner to take away.
