“I try to get out for a run at least once a week, especially now that the gyms are closed. There are a few runs I can do within my 5km, and there’s a café I like to stop at where they do really good food. There are a few routes I like to do in my neighbourhood including the Royal Canal, some on paths, and some cross-country when the ground is dry or frozen.
“I sometimes go with my partner, Matt, but if I’m on my own, I like to listen to music. I have a playlist of tunes for when I’m exercising. It’s an eclectic mix that I update every few weeks. At the moment, for running, it’s Shane Codd, Dua Lipa, The Cranberries, Balkan Beat Box and Dizzee Rascal. For walking, it’s Ed Sheeran, Dermot Kennedy and Coldplay.
January is normally the month when we dream of escaping the dark skies and chill of winter and plan that sun-soaked holiday, city break or long-haul adventure.

Kush Seafarms is Ireland s leading producer of organic shellfish. This family-run company in Kenmare Bay in the country s picturesque south-west started as a pastime in the early 1980s.
Two local teachers, John Harrington and his brother decided to try a curious new project mussel farming. They now produce about a thousand tons of rope mussels. This area is unique. It s chiselled out valleys from the time of the Ice Age, so you wind up with very deep water sheltered by mountains behind, which is ideal for suspended culture, explains managing director of Kush Seafarms, John Harrington.
The shellfish grow on ropes at a protected natural area, in crystal-clear waters rich in phytoplankton.
