On the 16th of January 2012 Simon Baker began a journey to run the
Dublin City Marathon. No one has achieved this before. He underwent nine
months of intensive training, but he didn’t do it alone. He had a
professional team behind him: Jason Kenny, Strength Training and
Nutritional Coach of Forever Fit Promotions, who headed up the project,
along with Alan Ward (National 50m Pool Manager of the University
Arena), Karen McCreesh and Neasa Canavan (Physiotherapy, University of
Limerick), Dr Drew Harrison and Dr Ian Kenny, Biomechanics (PESS,
University of Limerick) and Dr Brian Carson (Physiology, PESS,
University of Limerick). The project was supported by Jan Ottoson and
Donna Fisher from human prosthetics company IDS Independent Disablement
Services & Otto Bock and Dave Mahedy Arena Manager, University of
Limerick.
