Launching St Pats new running programme at the club on Friday evening were Fiona Costello, Jenny Higgins, Michelle Greaney, Brigid O’Riordan and Norma Flynn.

AS part of St Pats GAA Club’s Healthy Clubs Initiative, a new programme to get people running will begin at the club next Thursday.

The club is delighted to have such experienced AI running coach Michelle Greaney to lead the sessions.  This is a progressive running program designed to get more people active by running and walking intervals over a 5k distance.

Michelle’s training will see participants gradually increasing their distance from 0km to 5km. “We will start with a mixture of walking and slow jogging intervals, gradually increasing the running intervals until you can run 5k comfortably,” said Michelle.

“This is for anyone who would like to get fitter and healthier and feel more confident. Running will vastly improve both your physical and mental wellbeing.”

The goal will be to complete the 5k Tralee Park Run on Saturday, November 19 and hopefully develop a love for running.

Children are welcome as long as they will find 5k achievable. High vis jackets are required.
Screening forms and check in from 6.30pm on Thursday, September 15 and it’s only €15 per person for the whole 10 week series or part of the series. All are welcome.
