Couch to 5K and Beyond 2.5K challenge: The Sequel Dunboyne AC Track, Tuesday 31st January 2017

by Ana Quigley , January 31, 2017

Not to be outdone by the Saturday morning crew who smashed the 2.5k challenge on the track at the weekend, 29 of their fellow Couch to 5k’ers who were unable to participate on Saturday took to the start line at the track on Tuesday evening to complete the 2.5K challenge. Once they got going and started ticking off the 6 and a quarter laps (with some using our new counting trick of picking up 6 stones at the start and throwing one away each time a lap is completed until none are left) they all came through with flying colours.

Below for reference are the times from the Tuesday evening crew but our mantra as always is “Celebrate finish lines, not finish times”. Congratulations to everyone who completed the challenge. The Couch to 5K and beyond group are now into week 5 of their programme and all are well on their way to reaching their first goal of either walking or jogging 5K in the coming weeks.
