An Austrian man living in Ireland was killed last week after he was hit by a car while out running in Madrid.
Father-of-four Thomas Bubendorfer, who ran the ‘Diary of a Rubbish Marathon Runner’ blog, died last Tuesday, his wife Niamh Swan confirmed on social media over the weekend. “Last Tuesday my life was forever changed,” she wrote.
“We were married 25 years with four children and still so much in love. There are no words,” she said.
It is understood Mr Bubendorfer lived in Bray with his family and was a talented marathon and ultra marathon runner and had represented Austria in such races. He previously lived in Co Kerry.
