Training for 2010 has now started again

We meet just outside the Pheonix Park Tea room - beside the zoo, it is in Phoenix Park - off Conyngham Rd, just after the first round about. We finish outside the tea room as well so that we can sit down and chat about the training!

We cater to all levels of runners from beginners to advanced with the ultimate goal of doing a marathon or half marathon at some stage in their life.

We have over 100 members in the club training for Marathons all year round.

The hardest part of a Marathon is getting to the starting line!
How many people have you met who said they wanted to do a Marathon and never have? For a number of reasons people never quite get there. One of the main reasons is a lack of motivation.
That's where we come in! We provide structured workouts for you to follow each week along with weekly e-mails providing tips and advice on how to train and what to eat etc. However, the best component of our program is our 'do it together' attitude. We train once a week as a big group so you're not in it alone! Check out our chatboard to get in on the group fun and help each other along.

We take our training seriously but we aim to have fun otherwise it wouldn't be worth doing! Even if you're unfit and haven't ever run, we can get you there!
Most barriers to success are self-imposed. Read some of the most used excuses for why people don't train and our answers: Excuses

Marathon Programs we provide to Club Members:

Aside from the Marathon Specific plans below we also offer complete beginner - Walker to Runner programs and Intermediate Training.

All of these training plans are provided in our blogs at: www.irishfit.com/social

Six Months: This is our most popular program and caters for walkers all the way up to Boston qualifiers. We have a brief pace test to see what time you would be aiming for in the Marathon and then the fun begins!
(We've successfully helped 60+ complete beginner runners through their first Marathon with this training program)

4 Months: This is a slightly different program and is for people who run on a fairly regular basis. This program is also for beginners and first time Marathoners but we will require that you have a base level of fitness.

3 Months: This program is for the more advanced runner who has been training consistently for at least 3 or 4 months and wants a structured program to follow leading up to the race.

Each program is available to all club members throughout the year.

For anyone following our programs outside Dublin we will post you your goodie bag and t-shirts.

Use our secure payment option through paypal to sign up now or else you can come along to one of our group sessions and check it out first.

Marathon Registration Forms

Group runs at the weekend are available to everyone no matter what program they are following and it gives runners a chance to talk to our Head Coach. We are always available to answer any questions you may have during the course of your training and we will also have at least one social event each month that involves no running!!
