    Some training groups specifically for the Mini Marathon will be listed here - www.womensminimarathon.ie/race/default.40.LE.asp

    Or look for a beginner 10km training plan. There are lots available, just google. This is a good intro one - www.halhigdon.com/10ktraining/10knovice.htm

    Or you could do the Great Ireland 10km run in April, it's sooner and you can still wear a dress if you really want :p

    Yep, it's on the 6th of April in the Pheonix Park. If you've done it once already then it wouldn't take that much training, just doing 5 or 6 km a few times a week or even build up to it. One hour fifteen is pretty respectable and would be faster than thousands who will be there ;)

    For more info see the event webpage here.
