Congratulations to all who participated! Our next Couch to 5km programme will be held in Autumn 2018. Look out for our announcements! 
Our Spring/Summer 2018 Couch to 5km group
Our 2018 Couch to 5km Summer 7 week training programme is now completed.
Our next session will be in Autumn 2018 - please look out for announcements towards the end of the school summer holidays. All 2018 Tuesday and Thursday EVENING groups will leave from: The Westgrove Hotel Carpark 8pm Every Tuesday and Thursday evening (Rain, Hail or Shine!!!) This is for the duration of the dark Autumn/Winter months. (Hi-Vis Jackets are compulsory from now on when out on the dark paths) MORNING TRAINING: For 2018, we no longer have official scheduled weekday morning running groups, however, morning weekday and also weekend runs are organised frequently between our members, usually the evening before, via social messaging. ***Meet up time is usually between 9am-9:30am, however, the meet up location can vary*** Please contact: Caroline Mullally at 087 760 0068 to notify the club in advance if you wish to join. ***Please do not show up unannounced!!!* Meet up locations can vary on occasion, so you need to contact the club to confirm where we are meeting up. Thanks! Important note for Couch to 5km: One of the most frequent questions we get asked is: "How many sessions do I need to do a week to succeed with the Couch to 5km programme?" Answer: Quite simply....THREE sessions a week is required at least. The C25K group moves forward weekly through the programme, for the duration of 7 weeks, and members will fall behind if they don't keep to the structured training plan that is set out for them each week. We are unable to hold C25K training up to stay back for members who have not kept to the scheduled 3 sessions a week training plan, as it is not fair on the rest of the group who are working hard to progress & the volunteer leaders who are giving up their time. ***So that is something to bear in mind before signing up*** |
Clane AC encourage its members to participate in weekly parkrun events, which take place all over Ireland.
