Podcast #63 Pat Shields Running Gave me the Strength to Beat Breast Cancer

This women is just awesome a Murlough club runner from County Down who at the age of 49 makes a change in direction and recolours her life through running.

She was just enjoying knocking out her own personal pbs when she received the numbing news that no one really wants to hear, you have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I have no doubt that her strength and fitness built up during her marathon journey has helped her to overcome her diagnosis along with being surrounded be a strong support group.

It’s something we don’t realise, that through running we are building both a stronger body and mind that will help us to be in a better position to deal with life’s more challenging moments.

This is a great free flowing chat about marathon running in general, Be happy, stay healthy, stand strong and know that even the weakest can get back up, there is nothing that we can’t achieve with a bit of self belief and positivity.
