Fit 4 3k

Our Fit 4 3K "Couch to 3K" program has been developed to enable complete beginners, with little or no running experience, to complete our club's 3K time trial. The Fit 4 3K is like a shorter Couch to 5k and at the end you can continue your training if you want to take your fitness/ abilities further.
Participants have access to all of the benefits that Crusaders AC members enjoy, including use of the outdoor track and of our clubhouse at Irishtown Stadium, on training nights.

Whether you have never jogged before or if you just want to get more active, Fit 4 3k our Couch to 3K program is an easy way of getting more energy and feeling healthier. This program is for everyone, male and female, who would like to get from walking to jogging, but might be a little unsure on how to get started. The program works because it is not just focused on running, it starts with a mix of walking and jogging to gradually build up your fitness & stamina. It is aimed at beginners and based on your time and ability to participate.

Coached Sessions will take part every Thursday at 6.45pm on the Irishtown Stadium Track. While you can complete other sessions at your connivance during the week.

The program runs for 6 weeks. At the end you will take part in our 3k run on the Track on a Tuesday. Everyone who finishes the race will receive a free running T-shirt. When you finish the Fit 4 3K program you can continue your running journey by joining our Fit 4 Life group, where you will get €20 off the normal membership price.

Our dedicated "Fit 4 3K" coaching team will guide you through a 6-week training plan, to gradually build your fitness and to see you achieve your goal of running a 3km race.
