Rachel AbernethyTeam UK & Ireland

About me

Hey everyone, I'm Rachel! I'm a member of the ASICS UK & Ireland FrontRunner team and I'm based in Dublin. You'll usually find me running with my run club in Phoenix Park and often venturing into the Dublin & Wicklow mountains or back up home to the north coast for some trail adventures. This year I have a trail half marathon in June in Northern Ireland and then I am taking on Chicago marathon in October. It will be my 7th marathon and 2nd World Major - I hope to follow in the footsteps of many fellow FrontRunners and achieve the six star medal some day! I'm a huge parkrun advocate and I'm part of the core team at my local event. Running and going to the gym to improve my strength really help me balance my stress levels and ensure I get out & about while working from home full time. I'm also a Swiftie (yes I'm going to the Eras tour), I have a New York Times puzzle ritual every day, and I'd live off chips, chocolate, and Diet Coke if I could.
