Hill Runs
A group off us have started hill runs on saturday mornings if anyone is interested. We are going to alternate between Sliabh Bhuie (starting at Askamore graveyard) and the forest on Mt. Leinster (starting at car park at top of Currabut). We plan to be running for 9 o'clock and get earlier as the mornings get brighter. Pace is nice and easy, Dom brought a 16 year old from the boxing club last week and he had no trouble keeping up. This week is Mt. Leinster. These runs will be great for building strength and with runners from Ferns and Slaney Olympic coming along there's sure to be a bit of craic and slagging.

Marathon Training
Myles Gibbons and myself are starting long runs from next Sunday 22nd. Starting out with 13 miles at around 6.50 - 6.55 pace if anyone wants to join us. Alternating between Gorey and Ferns. Again running for 9 o'clock. This might suit you John.

Ferns League
Ferns are starting a league the first week of February (tbc) on wednesday nights. The first couple will be 5 laps of the V which works out around 3.5 miles. It'll cost 2 or 3 euro a night. All are welcome. It will be a handy way of getting in a bit of speed work. I'll post exact dates and times when I know more.
