About Stephen

Stephen Conroy started running in 2012. His first marathon was Dublin that year, where he ran 3:27. Seven months later he broke three hours in Belfast, and his marathon best is now 2:28:12.

He has won individual and team titles at county, provincial and All-Ireland level, on the road and in cross country. Running for Celbridge AC and Clane AC, he has won team gold in the National Half Marathon and the National 10 Mile and has numerous National Masters individual titles.

He has paced the 3-hour group at the Dublin Marathon every year since 2018, so he knows what 2:59 takes on the day.

Along the way he has worked with and learned from some of the best coaches in the country. Breaking 3 is built on what worked for him, and on what he has seen work for other runners.
