Welcome to Idiots Go Running, where two Belfast brothers prove that idiocy and running make the perfect pair! Meet Colin and Andrew, the dynamic duo behind the madness.
Colin, the brains behind our operation (or lack thereof), discovered the magical healing powers of running while battling MS. Yes, you read that right—running as medication! He's our living testament to the fact that laughter and perseverance can take you farther than you ever imagined, even if you're occasionally wobbling along the way.
Then there's Andrew, the unwitting accomplice dragged into this escapade by his brother's infectious enthusiasm. Inspired by Colin's insane Ultra distances, Andrew thought, "Hey, why not? Half marathons sound like a blast!" Little did he know what he was signing up for. Oh, and let's not forget Andrew's peculiar love affair with jelly—yes, jelly. He's convinced it's the secret to his endurance. We're not entirely sure if it's the sugar rush or the wobbly texture that keeps him going, but who are we to question such eccentricity?
Together, they form the epitome of sibling camaraderie mixed with sheer lunacy. Last year, Colin conquered Ultra distances month after month, while Andrew valiantly tagged along for half marathons—because what's a little pain and exhaustion between brothers, right?
So buckle up, folks, and join us on our wild and wacky journey through the streets of Belfast and beyond. Because when life hands you lemons, sometimes the only sensible thing to do is lace up your running shoes, grab a jar of jelly, and go chase them down. Welcome to the madness that is Idiots Go Running!
