Runner of the week: Róisín Burke

Róisín Burke, 29, from Limerick will be taking part in the half marathon at next month’s Cork City Marathon.

She developed a love of running in school, and she runs for the ‘buzz’.

“I love training for a marathon. I love the runner’s high you get after a good session. On the day, there is nothing like standing on the starting line with hundreds others, all there with the same purpose and of course crossing the finish line is a thrill every time.”
