    Summer will be a perfect time to get some of these going actually. I'd definitely be interested in running with others once my injury clears up.

    I was made redundant about 2 months ago and use running to take my mind off it. Ive done a few 8k/10ks and the goal is the Dublin marathon. I run in the park all the time starting from the cross and usually do about 10ks over 45-50 mins. Im available to meet any day from about 2pm onwards.

    Cheers

    I was going to go for a run at 11am this Sunday in the Park, but there's some family day out that starts around that time up there.

    I'm now looking at heading up about 9am, as I'd like to get in and out, before half of Dublin descend on the park.

    Only on two wheels myself as well, although mine have a 50cc engine attached, so don't have any space to offer to lock a bag away unfortunately. I think aiming for 10am would suit me slightly better, but only becasue 9:30 sounds too early in the morning.

    I'll definitely be on for runs in Phoenix Park (fartlek / hills or just regular long runs). My knee is niggling so will probably leave it for a week or so though.

    Thanks for starting the thread, its a great idea.

    i think i can do away with the need for a bag altogether. where can we leave the bikes? i'll probably be there a bit before you.

    Well being on two wheels we can pretty much park anywhere once there is something solid for you to lock yours to. Makes no difference to me which end of the park we start at though.

    It should be fine locked to any pole or railing. I've locked mine there many times while I've been racing.

    Hi all,

    I think there was a thread for this somewhere before but can't seem to find it.

    If anyone is up for meeting up for some sessions in the park would be handy to post here.

    Looking to get a Fartlek session going or what ever session people like. Fartlek would be hany as you can mix up distance etc to include all levels.

    I'm usually in Pheonix park on a Sat and Sunday morning depending on races ets.



    Count me in shels. Saturday or sunday morning session would be grand. Let me know what you plan to do.

    Hi mods just wondering(with shels permission of course) could we have this thread renamed to sth like group sessions where and when , as I can see this thread as being a very useful tool for Boards ac and other like minded runners. I feel a different name might attract more interest for those outside of the phoenix park area.Cheers
