Some great performances in the half marathon on Sunday so some of you may wish to leave doing a session until Saturday morning to ensure you have recovered, or scale back your session slightly tonight.

Advanced (marathon group)
2 x 10 minutes threshold off 2min30 recovery around the Gaelic and rugby pitch, then as make your way up to the track for Parlauf relay (continuous relay 8x200m each)

Code of Ethics & Good Practice in Children's Sport

Galway City Sports Partnership have provided details of the next courses for Code of Ethics & Good Practice in Children's Sport. These are scheduled for Monday 27th September and Monday 18th October - more details attached.

Senior Endurance training Saturday 27th August

Not envisaging many people making the session on Saturday dew to Sunday's racing but for anyone who is not racing over the weekend I would recomend 6 minutes efforts around the trails at dangan, or the top pitch.

Run hard for 6 minutes, take 90 seconds recovery and repeat 3-6 times depending on current fitness level. Best of luck to those who are racing.

Matt

Cliona Ni Chochlain, competing for Claregalway, defended her Under 10 Hurdles title in great style, winning her heat, semi-final & final. Kieran Molloy from Oughterard, who is an accomplished boxer, won the Under 12 boys ball throw. Kieran competes in the Shot Putt but also looks to have a bright future as a Javelin thrower.
