Training Schedule: Our main training sessions are:
Tuesdays - 6.45pm at Irishtown Stadium. This is an interval track session with warm-ups starting at 6:30 PM. Tuesday evenings are especially welcoming for newcomers, and all abilities are encouraged to participate. Thursdays - 6.30pm meet at Irishtown stadium's reception. There are two options for Thursday sessions. Choose between a relaxed social run or a tempo session in the local park (Sean Moore Park). Saturdays - 10am - Magazine fort, Phoenix Park. We host Saturday morning training sessions in the scenic Phoenix Park where most groups and abilities are welcome to join. Sundays - 10am - Meet at the entrance to Irishtown Stadium. Sundays are a easy social run that lasts 1 hour then we normally go to the local coffee shop. Sundays are run on an ad-hoc fashion. We use the Fit 4 life whatts app group to organize the run. Find out more about training HERE Additionally, we conduct Couch to 3k/5k programs throughout the year, open to both the public (for a fee) and free for current members. Find out more HERE |
On Tuesday we divide the lanes up by the standard that matches your 5k time. If you're uncertain about your ability or standard, starting with the Fit 4 Life group in lane 1 is a great choice.
