Thursday 21st March, News
We have now returned to Shanganagh for our Thursday evening training sessions. Last evening, despite the poor weather the session was very well attended, we divided into two groups with one doing a 4k tempo and the 2nd group doing 2k tempo. Suzanne Foot and Dave Carragher set the pace for group 1 and Collette Mason and Emer Hynes did a similar job for group. Next Thursday we will be doing a pyramid session, our final session before the Wicklow Road C/Ships.
Wicklow Road C/Ships will be held in Ashford on Wednesday 3rd April at 7pm, distance 5k. We would ask all athletes to make every effort to be available. In order to help with the paperwork, selecting teams etc., we would ask all those hoping to run to inform Sean, Dermot or Richard or drop a note to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . We would again remind master athletes that they may opt out of the masters category and declare to run in the SENIOR category, but they MUST make this clear at the entry desk on the night. We hope to have athletes and teams in all categories.
Fit4life 1mile, Wed.20th march, awaiting results, will post them as soon as they become available, although we do know that Charlotte Stevens recorded another PB.
