Hi All, check out this video that John Fitz has up in the Fermoy Runners on FB, tried it out, makes a big difference to the fit of your runner, also tested it up in Colemans and my runners never moved even in the soft part of the pitch!!!!

Weekend Long Runs

Hi all, we've got some serious running happening at the weekends, saturday runs starting at 8.30 from outside Colemans, runs range from 10, 15, 18, 22+. On sunday runs start at 9.00 from outside Colemans, runs range from 10, 12, 14+. I must say there's fantastic numbers on each of the days, hitting double figures on both days. Also tuesday nights, speedwork on the road or in Colemans and on thursday nights, hill work or speedwork in the track.
