Results below from remote 3km time trials submitted by club members and local runners. Well done all on some great times!

Are you going to join club member who are taking part in an unique challenge this Easter Saturday 11th April. We will be taking part in a 10k challenge in our gardens at 10am. 10k of running and the only rule is that you must do it in your garden no matter the number of laps. And if there are smaller kids who want to get involved why not have them join in with 1km, or relay or whatever they can manage. Earn those Easter Eggs 🙂

We are recommending a charity in Feed the Heroes on below link for anyone who feels motivated to donate to this brilliant cause.

For anyone who wishes to join us it’s simple, 10am on 11th April, run 10k in your garden. Post pictures online, dress in fancy dress, the time and speed doesn’t matter. Let’s build some positivity around staying at home! Use #10kgardenchallenge & #stayathome if you are posting on social media.

To add to the Skipping Challenge which can be safely done at home, try adding the 30 Day Plank Challenge straight after the skipping session. Planks are a huge benefit to runners for building core strength when done properly (* look at the picture on the challenge for reference).

Stay safe and stay fit…

There are lots of fun ways to stay fit and active without leaving the house.

For all of our juvenile athletes (and for those still young at heart), stay fit by taking the 30 Day Rope Skipping Challenge.

Stay safe and be well!

While all official training activities are suspended in this current climate of isolation and social distancing, it is still possible to stay fit (and sane) by getting in some training individually, while always observing HSE guidelines for spacing/social distancing.

If you want to keep up some interval training in the field on an individual basis, the layout below will help with marking out 400 and 1000 metre intervals.

Stay safe and healthy, and always observe HSE recommended social distancing guidelines!!
