Juvenile Training will go ahead on the track 7pm to 8pm.
Senior Training cancelled but normal track sessions for Seniors will resume next Wed 20th Jan, 5.45 to 6.45.

You may have already received an e-mail notification from Bernie Kelly on this topic, but just to remind all that the GCH track sessions for senior athletes continue throughout the winter months in Dangan between 5:45pm and 6:45pm (warm-up commences at 5:30pm) every Wednesday evening.

Racing season is well and truly in full swing and there are any amount of races for whatever you’re into yourself and wherever you want to do it. Its easy to get carried away! Since the 5km series is sadly over I can console myself in the fact that we are back to, my personal favourite, the track. However it’s on the track that I struggle most with my sensible head, the Physio, and my not so sensible head, the runner.

With the increase in interest in running in the last year as seen in the increased numbers taking part in road races throughout the county, Galway City Library Service has put together a collection of books on running, runners and related matters such as injury prevention, nutrition for athletes, marathon training etc. This collection is located in Ballybane Library on Castlepark Road in Ballybane.

[acidfree:1706 align=right title=''] Starting next Wednesday January 28th GCH Senior Club have booked the track in Dangan from 5.45pm to 6.45pm.

If you are new to track sessions, don't worry, help will be at hand to get you started and guide you along. To cover costs it will cost €5 per night for the moment. Depending on numbers taking part this will hopefully reduce in the coming months. Try to get to Dangan by 5.30 to have a warm up done before session proper starts.

Any questions, e-mail or text Bernie on 087-7504066.

Well done to Don, Nicola, Carmel, Rochelle, Kristin, Gerard and Joseph who all ran in the Fields of Athenry 10K on St Stephens Day.
