Club Training Thread

RacoonQueen

Hi Folks

Following on from the thread about Raheny Shamrocks and Helen Anne's great response - I thought it might be good to have a sort of database of the type of training/times/locations etc of different clubs. Questions pop up all the time so would be good to have it all in one place.

I figured boardsies could just post a comment with details about what their club do and I'd link to posts in the opening post of the thread...if it takes off maybe separate into counties etc kinda like how the training logs thread worked

March to September (during daylight savings time) the main training location for all ages is Cherryfield park on the Firhouse Road (opposite Ballyboden St Endas) and the normal training time is 7-8pm.

Juveniles/juniors train on the grass track there, and in the surrounding fields.

Seniors/masters sometimes train there, but more often meet there and train somewhere else (Tymon park, elsewhere in Dodder Valley park, or on roads in the area)

Juveniles train there Tuesday and Thursday.

Seniors/masters, the largest groups train there Tuesday and Thursday. There is another group that does the same sessions Monday/Wednesday. There is also a 'couch to 5k transition' group - runners who completed a couch to 5k plan recently - who do a short session, also on Mondays/Wednesdays.

Most Saturdays there is a track session in Tallaght, mainly juveniles/juniors.
There is also a tempo run in Tymon park.

Sundays, adults usually meet up for longer runs, juveniles train in Cherryfield.

Mondays there's a gym session, mostly juniors.

In winter, adults meet behind Knocklyon shopping centre, and go from there to do their sessions. Juveniles/juniors are all over the place, indoor and outdoor locations, split into age groups...

There's also a Little Athletics group for kids under 8. They train indoors on Wednesday evenings, I think 6.15 to 7pm?
