Connemara Training Run...Weds 15th July

    Folks,
    A few on the board here, including myself, are training for the Connemara 100 mile race. Next Wednesday week will be exactly four weeks before the big day and I'm planning a training run along a part of the race course, namely the Connemara Marathon route. My plan is to run the marathon route starting at 08:00pm which will involve running from brightness into darkness. My club organise a run similar to this each March and it works well. If anyone would like to join me on the run they'd be welcome to come along. We could meet in Maam Cross and share lifts out to Lough Inagh and then run back to the cars. If there was enough interest we might get a couple of groups that could run together at different paces.

    Of course, you don't have to be planning to do the 100 miler to do the training run and you don't have to do the marathon disance either - people can be dropped along the route any distance from 'home' and then time their run so that everyone gets back to Maam Cross around the same time.

    I really fancy running through the dusk and into the night in the Connemara mountains and this is a chance to do just that. Fingers crossed on the weather.

    Anyone interested ?

    Mick.
