There aren't many details available yet, but this might be a good target for some of you coming to the end of your 5k plan.
There's also a 5k in Portlaoise on the 17th of March, and in Dublin on the 20th.
There's another 5k in Dublin at the end of May.
It's cool there are so many of these, I will have to start enrolling for some of them!
I have signed up for the March 20th one

Week 6, Day 3 done this morning and it nearly killed me I felt great after the 20 minutes on week 5 but this felt like torture and i couldn't wait for the 25th minute. Someone tell me it does get better in week 7
week 6 day 3 done yesterday, nearly killed me too:D glad I'm not alone. Like Bluewolf, I'm struggling to get through the runs, taking a short break in the middle too. I can't tell you it gets better in week 7, havent started it yet.
Never knew running was so tough, but definitely worth it, so don't be put off newbies to c25k:D great to get an insight into what it takes to be a top athlete.0 -

So I injured myself last Thursday and I haven't ran since. Feeling fully recovered today so should I continue the program I'm on or should I try to repeat the run I did on Thursday (I didn't injure myself during the run btw, and I did it just fine)
Want to do the 5k next week in Dublin so don't want to fall behind as I'm on target to finish the program next Wedenesday if I continue the program. I guess I'm a bit worried that a break of nearly a week will have harmed my preperation which would be quite annoying after going for so long and then getting injured so close to the event

Oh dear, I had one of those hard days today - still, got through W3D2. I figured out I haven't had a proper rest day since Tuesday last week so no wonder I'm wrecked! I'm prescribing a good night off on Friday as I'm heading to see The Script in O2 and will finish W3 on Saturday morning. 0

Went out to try week 7 day 3 tonight. The first 2 runs this week went fine so I was expecting tonight's run to be no different. Unfortunately it was awful - about half way through I had to stop, then was stopping and starting for the whole rest of the time. I think there were various factors at work, time of day, food and water, tiredness etc...but I came home in bad humour and was berating myself - until I realised I was berating myself for having run 'only' 2 km!! Who is this person?? :eek: A few weeks ago 2km was unthinkable. So my attitude from now on is that a bad run is still a run and better than staying at home in front of the telly 0

I agree. went out for week 7 day 1 this morning; it was going well until I turned back into a gale force wind. reduced to a walk three times, really annoyed until I realised what I was annoyed about! It's all good. Signed up for a 5k run March 20th. First one ever!0 -

Are many on here doing this run? I'm tempted since i'm up for the match the day before but i think i'll wait and see on the day rather than committing now
I'm also signed up for it and it will also be my first 5k. Eek! Still, once I signed up I told everyone I know, knowing that then I would have to stick to the programme and complete it Will have just finished week 8 when the race rolls around so I hope some sort of adrenaline rush on the day will see me through the last little bit! Really hope I make it to the end - any time I felt like giving up on a run over the past 7 weeks I would tell myself that it would feel great to finish the run on 20 May and know that I had worked for and achieved my goal Timing be damned, I just wanna make it over the finish line without keeling over! 0 -

It'd be mine as well and i'd have (hopefully) finished week 8 as well so we'd be in the same boat I reckon in a race though you would get the last few ounces of energy to make it to the end! 0 -
