Another powerful week in the bank!
⚫️ Juniors
A fantastic week of training across the junior section with strong sessions on both Tuesday and Thursday.
Thursday brought us back into Morton Stadium for our indoor field events session, a brilliant opportunity for our athletes to develop their skills in Ireland’s national stadium. It’s something special for the kids to train in that environment, and they continue to make the most of it.
A very special mention this week goes to Darnell McHugh, who travelled to Athlone to compete in the National Championships in the shot put.
Darnell delivered a huge performance, throwing an outstanding 9.96m, a new personal best 👏
That’s what it’s all about.
Not podiums. Not positions.
Progress. Improvement. Belief.
A huge well done to Darnell, his parents, and the coaching team. A brilliant moment for everyone involved.
🟡 Seniors
This was a big week.
The training block toward Geneva Marathon, Dublin Marathon and other key events is really starting to take shape now.
Strong sessions on Tuesday and Thursday set the tone, with great energy and focus across the group. You can see the progression, runners moving better, stronger, and with more confidence week by week.
We also held our Geneva talk this weekend, covering pacing, preparation, and giving runners the chance to ask questions and build clarity heading into the final phase.
A special mention as well to Ashley Carroll & Traci Marshall who both travelled to take part in the Berlin Half Marathon. They both used this as part of their training build and delivered strong performances, great examples of smart racing within a bigger plan. Well done Ladies 👏
Sunday – Peak Week Long Run
This was one of the most important runs of the year so far.
Our peak week long run gave runners the opportunity to put everything into practice:
• Pacing
• Nutrition
• Gear
• Mental focus
These aren’t just long runs, they are rehearsals for race day.
And the turnout, the effort, and the commitment on show were exactly what you want to see at this stage.
Another week of showing up.
Another week of getting better.
Another week closer to big goals.
Up The Flats 💛🖤
