I have only joined this site today and I wanted to start a forum which was aimed at more running events and discussions for Northern Ireland runners.
I am living in Coleraine, I have ran this years Larne half-marathon and the Belfast Marathon which I finished in 3:44 and aiming for a sub 3:15 next year, so I am now back in training, feeling the cold, but Q 97.2 is helping me.
A few up-and-coming runs which I will be taking part in
27th December - Turkey Trot Rugby Ave Coleraine (more info to follow)
1st January - Race over the Glens 13:00
5th Febuary - Roe Valley Trail run 13:00
More to follow
If you are from Northern Ireland or if you just want to talk about training and other events I will be interested in hearing from you.

I admire your training times, I am sure you can get a good time this May Day, especially with the new supposedly faster marathon route.
I did it as my first marathon this year (I live in Belfast) and finished in just over 5 hours. I'm hoping to stay below that mark this year.
As for the Belfast Marathon, I might actually consider it although I was also thinking about Dublin. I am back after injury to doing around 15 miles per week in total and I think it would be a good basis to start to build up from. (plus a mate was keen to run it too)
Do you do any speedwork and if so, what?
