The main sessions take place on Tuesday nights and Thursday nights both start at 6.30pm at Irishtown Stadium.

The Tuesday Session is carried out on the Track and is lead by the Fit 4 Life lead Coach Don. When you start for the first time Don will run through the different aspects of running including good technique, breathing tips and injury prevention as well as answer any questions you have.

The Thursday session meets at the stadium but then goes outside the Stadium for the session. The sessions range from strength training to Tempo and easy long runs as well as the occasional special event. Thursday Sessions are lead by the Fit 4 Life Assistant Coaches Brian, Aisling and Paul. They provide a fun and friendly atmosphere with no competition between our runners which helps everyone enjoy the session.
On Saturdays a lot of the group take part in the local Park run at Poolbeg and then go out and enjoy lunch together afterwards. The Ladies in Fit 4 Life can enjoy entering the Women's Meet and Train league. Female athletes from all over Dublin and the surrounding area come together to take part in these races.
