Step 1: Decide what you are going to aim for :

If you dont have a goal, then how do you know what you should be doing?

Here are some ideas for a running events this Autumn

Join us on our running holidays this Autumn

A goal doesn’t have to be a race, there are lots of other options

  • Aim to run 3 times per week
  • Improve Running Technique – Take time to learn to run efficiently
  • Have Fun with running – travel somewhere new to run
  • Join a club or group to make running more fun
  • Escape the threadmill and run outdoors while the weather good

Step 2 : Work out what you need to do to get there ?

You need a plan that fits in with your lifestyle and summer schedule if you are going to get to your goal. Otherwise, the time will just disappear. Get your training plan for the summer on 1 sheet of paper so you can visualise whats ahead for you. Be sure to pick a goal that is reasonable for you but also challenging enough to keep you motivated to train. Everyone who comes to our classes will get a training plan to help them get to their goal.

If you are not in our classes, and  need help with planning and goal setting, schedule a private session with Mary

Step 3 : Get Started

Decide how you will train – alone, with a friend or with a group. Make the commitment to get out the door, even on the nights when you dont feel like it. The hardest step is to get started. Go for it -if not now, when !

Step 4 : Keep Motivated and on Track

If you struggle to train alone,  get yourself a running buddy to keep you on track. It has been widely proven that training with someone else will greatly increase your chances of getting out there, and achieving your goals. If you dont have a running buddy, let us be your buddy. Come along to our Autumn Running Classes in Docklands, Clontarf and Sandymount. Anyone training for longer runs can join our Facebook groups to arrange meetups with other students to have company on long runs. Be sure to keep track of your progress too.  A training log is essential to keep yourself accountable. (Email if you wish us to send you a template for your training log).

Step 5 : Success and Celebration

Success will only happen if you make the time now to organise yourself for the months ahead. The more you put into your training, the more you will be able to enjoy the event and feel the achievement.
