Around this time two years ago, Robert Cahill spent a sunny Sunday afternoon down in Ballycotton watching the green and white Togher AC shirts race by in what was to become the last ever Ballycotton 10-mile race. The amazing atmosphere of the crowd and the great buzz of the event were the catalyst for Robert to progress from a leisurely jog around Fitzgerald’s Park to completing the Cork half-marathon last year with Togher AC. Robert is one of our stalwart members, always with an encouraging word for anyone participating in races and with an absolute commitment to improving his times. When he is not out running on the Mardyke track or chasing a new PB, you may well find Robert enjoying a glass of vin rouge in France where he has been on holiday 11 times to date. This is Robert’s Togher story…..

‘I made the leap from a solo leisurely jogger to Togher AC club member to develop my running, be more sociable and for my own mental health and wellbeing. My parents are neighbours of John Hayes, one of the youth coaches in Togher and he put me in touch with the Fit4Life group. Running is important to me as it gives me discipline, routine, health for both body and mind and to relieve any stress that I may be going through. Most importantly, though for me being a member of Togher has a huge sociable aspect and has led to new friendships. Running is the best thing I have ever done for my health and general well being.

Being a member of Togher AC means so much to me, from the support, training, encouragement and camaraderie right through to the social aspect. Everyone is so friendly and will always have the time to give me any advice and support that I need. There is a great sense of  community and support within the club from the volunteers, coaches and members, right through to the elite athletes.

My best Togher AC memory is getting a personal best at the 2018 Togher AC 5K of 22:35 minutes. I was absolutely delighted that it was at our own event (and the Cork 5km of the Year!)and I could not have done it without the tough track sessions on the Tuesday nights. Completing my first ever half-marathon in Cork City in June 2018 was another real highlight.

There is one massive running goal for me for 2019 and that is to complete my first ever marathon in Dublin in October 2019. This will not be possible without an 18 week training plan with Togher AC and the wonderful support of Fit4Life.’

Well done to Robert on embracing all that Togher AC has to offer and on his dedication and perseverance. Robert, we will be cheering you on in Dublin and are sure you will do great!
