About Me...
My name is Rosaleen (that's me on the far right). I am a 46 year old coach, runner, open water swimmer, wife and mother of two lively teenage girls. I really love to run, having come late to the sport, aged 34. In February 2022 I won my first national gold medal, winning the National Masters’ Cross Country F35 team gold with my sister Lizzie and our 2 Leevale AC club-mates. I also came 5th in my F45 age-group at that event, having won my age-group at County level this season. In November 2015 I gained an international cap, representing Ireland in the British & Irish Masters Cross Country Championships in the F40 age-group. My biggest road-race achievement is winning the much missed four race Ballycotton Summer Series in 2015, after finally breaking 30 minutes in the Ballycotton 5 miler that August. My 5k PB is 18:19 from the John Buckley 5k in May 2017. And my 10k PB is 38:55 from July 2021, one of the benefits of lockdown! I founded Run with Ros on 1st of May 2014, having just graduated top of my year in my University of Limerick Certificate in Exercise, Health & Fitness. I also hold the National Qualification in Pre & Post Natal Exercise. Eat with Ros came to life in April 2016 as more and more of my members asked me about my low carb way of eating!
