Runner of the week: Peter Mooney

Peter Mooney will be taking part in his 85th marathon this summer when he runs the Irish Examiner Cork City Marathon.

Now training for his 85th marathon, the Kildare man says he never expected to reach this milestone.

“It’s a record I didn’t think I’d have,” he said. The 39-year-old ran his first marathon in 2002 to improve his fitness.
