Fri Feb 19th Fit4Life Update:
Our first meet-n-train night kicked off on Fri 19th, where we had 8 people, male and female, from 8min/mile runners wanting to up their running distance ability, to those who would like to progress from walking to running (these completed a 1.5 mile loop, jogging for 5 mins, walking for 2 mins, repeatedly until the end of the loop - a  fantastic achievement for people who had never jogged before or who had in the past but had fallen out of the routine over the years). Well done to all who participated and we look forward to a bigger turnout this Friday evening when we will hopefully have the much-coveted goodie bags and run-route-printouts !!

Fri Feb 26th Fit4Life Update:
Night #2 - It was great to see some familiar faces from Week#1 returning on Week#2 ... good to know you were not scared away by the first week! We also had a few new faces which was great to see. We are hoping numbers will pick-up once the evenings start to get brighter. With our new hi-viz vests, however, brightness does not matter to us!    Roll on week#3!

Adare 10km race is also on next Sunday March 7th for anyone interested in putting the Friday evening training into practice. For those not ready for the 10km yet, do not panic, there are plenty more races to choose from in the coming months.

Fri March 5th Fit4Life Update:
Night #3 - We had a smaller turnout than normal this week, but that did not deter us! After doing a few laps on the grass pitch in front of Stryker,  Rosie took the more experience group on a longer loop around Raheen, while Tracey led the ever-improving less-experienced group on a shorter loop. Everyone re-grouped at the end for a group-stretch. We had a number of people who achieved far more than they expected of themselves.....one person improving from being able to run for 5 minutes to 15 minutes!! Another person had only ever run 7km, after which, she was "dead".....tonight she ran 6.8km and was still chatting as she jogged into the finish! Well done to all. The only way to improve is to do some CONSISTENT training.....no one needs to do crazy hard running sessions...just get out for your run/exercise consistently and you will soon see vast improvements...
