Couch 2 5K 2015 Revised

With the Dublin’s Mini Marathon around the corner and not to forget Dublin Pride’s Run in June as well, have you been thinking, I’d love to give that a shot? Well now’s your chance. The lovely folks at Dublin Frontrunners were in touch and asked us to give a shout out to all you ladies who want to give it a go.

Get fit and make new buddies at the same time, well sign me up! Not to mention getting rid of those the majority of those Easter eggs I consumed over the weekend.

Dublin Frontrunners is open to gay men, lesbians and their friends, so the training is open to everyone. The training will be facilitated by a male and female trainer each week. Also, we hope that the Couch to 5K participants will join the existing club members in the visitor’s centre for coffee after the training.

Aidan sent us on all the details which are as follows:

Details

If you can walk for 30 minutes and still feel ready for more, you’re ready to get started on our training schedule. The programme starts on Saturday 18th April at 10am in the Phoenix Park. The meeting point is the Papal Cross car park.

We’re using the Couch to 5K programme from active.com. This training schedule is designed to get you off the couch and run a 5K. The programme takes 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 9 weeks. Whether you’re just getting started or, are an experienced runner who needs a push, the Couch to 5K plan makes working out simple, social, and fun. In just two months you’ll go from couch potato to running three miles (or 5K) on a regular basis.

Dublin Frontrunners will facilitate a weekly session on Saturday mornings at 10am in the Phoenix Park at the Papal Cross car park. You’ll start each session with a brisk walk, and then walk/run, for about 20 or 30 minutes. That’s the amount of moderate exercise recommended by numerous studies for optimal fitness. We’ll give you all the tools you need to get motivated, get connected with others and chart your progress as you move towards your goal of completing a 5K.

Dublin Frontrunners will organise one session per week. You’ll need to complete two training sessions per week in your own time. But fear not, the active.com app will keep you company and the plan is quite easy to follow. You should be in great shape for the Pride Run in
June!

The cost is EURO 30 for the nine weeks. This covers membership of Dublin Frontrunners and insurance for all participants.
