THE GYM PLUS COFFEE PODCAST
Episode 8: Dwayne Edgar Inner City Running Club
On this week's episode: co-founder Diarmuid McSweeney sits down with Dwayne Edgar from Inner City Running Club.
Inner City Runners were the winner of The Best Community Fitness Club at our Make Life Richer Awards.
The group was set up over two and a half years ago.
Dwayne used lockdown as an opportunity to do something positive and get fit and as healthy as possible.
After a video of Dwayne and his running went viral overnight, he decided to make a proper go at it and set up the group. As he says himself they nearly spread quicker than COVID itself.
The group runs 3 days a week and is open to all abilities.
Everyone is welcome and they don’t care about times, the only rule is once you start you have to finish. As you will hear it’s a rule that Dwayne came to regret when doing the Madrid Marathon.
They have big plans to run events in the city and surrounding areas but as you will hear there are a few hurdles to jump over first.
The ethos of the group is to get people active in the community and the lads are firmly on their way to doing just that. They now have their own clubhouse and gym to help their members reach their goals.
There is a great social element to the group and as Dwayne mentions the most important thing for the group is to have fun.
This is something we can firmly agree on.
Hope you enjoy!
