    If you are in Sportsworld, join Rathfarnham.
    If you are in Rathfarnham, tough it out, you'll get fastest and won't be slowest for long.

    Hi jjbsligo, Rathfarnham AC did have a 'fit4life' programme last year. This kind of group may suit you better, but I'm not sure if its still going. Here's a link:

    Hey JJBSligo, would second that advise to keep with it. You will suprise yourself how much you can improve even over a month. Try and do some 'homework' in between the classes (i.e go out on your own bat and run a couple of times a week) and you will be amazed how quickly you improve. Good luck with it :)

    hey tunney, gerard65, misty floyd and MayoRoadRunner - Thanks a mil for your support - it is well digested on my side - confidence was low there however have the determination back again - I kicked ass in my last two sessions at running club (well my own ass!) I realised allot of this was in my head and also realised, you don't get the results unless you put in the hard work throughout the week - I have a training plan in place now. Realised i may be slow now, but will get there! :)

    Thanks Guys
    JJBSligo
