Successful Athletics Workshop
Today we held our first Athletics Workshop. Fourteen current (and hopefully newly joining members) turned out in full Winter run training gear at Ballina Sports Center for 9am.
For the first hour of the Workshop Sean Gallagher gave us a very comprehensive presentation (together with slide show) on the elements of run training. Many of us learned new terms such as Fartlek, Tempo, Cruise, and Equivalent Performance. Sean had us all then make our way in cars and on foot to Belleek Woods where he brought us through a hills training session. The morning was dry and frosty with no wind and Belleek Woods showed off its mid Winter colours.
Everyone who participated found the training very beneficial.
On behalf of the Club and everyone who participated a big Thank You to Sean Gallagher for giving the Workshop and also to Conor for the use of the Ballina Sports Center.
Hopefully we will organise a monthly run session over a set course from the end of January to allow us all to determine our training progression.
