“Couch to 5K and beyond” 5K Challenge, Tuesday 1st March

We’ve all heard the saying that March “comes in like a lion and out like a lamb” and 13 of our 2016 C25K group who were unable to participate last Saturday proved they had the hearts of lions by taking on the 5k track challenge on Tuesday night, 1st March.

Not be outdone by the 53 who took the challenge on Saturday, our intrepid 13 limbered up at 9pm on a very chilly night ready to show the rest of the group what they could do! While the regular C25K session took place on the outer track lanes under the watchful eye of Ger, Eleanor lined up the 5K crew on the inside ready for the off.

Yet again, they made it look easy and all crossed the finish line in fine style cheered on by the usual crew of Fit4Life volunteers and some family members. Your times are recorded below for reference, congratulations to each and every one of you.

REMINDER FOR SATURDAY: C25K will be moving to the “beyond” phase of the programme and we will be going out to practice on part of the route for the EirGrid Dunboyne 4 Mile Road Race and Fun Run which takes place on Sunday 3rd April. So for Saturday please meet at the track at 10.45am or else make your way directly to the industrial estate for 11am.
