Running with others is a great form of exercise in a social setting. Many clubs have a “Fit4Life” group which is based on the meet and train concept. These usually take the form of a couch to 5k format and participants are then encouraged to continue their fitness journey in a fun environment. Athletics Ireland membership provides third party insurance cover for our members. This insurance covers you at training sessions organised by Athletics Ireland affiliated clubs.
The Fit4Life groups’ focus is on getting fitter at your own pace. Enjoy the experience of being surrounded by like minded people who will offer advice and assistance as needed. If you discover hidden talent, the club will assist you develop it on your terms.
The sessions are organised and you only need to turn up with your laces securely tied. Motivation is heightened as it is easier to get ready if you’re joining your friends. The temptation to “wait until tomorrow” is removed. The hardest step is always the one which takes you out the front door.
Clubs are a great source of info. In a club, you’ll be able to find out where to find the best physio or masseur in the area, where to buy quality running gear at a good price, and where to find good off-road routes and much more. Make maximum use of those in the know at your club. If you want to expand your horizons and set goals, the club members will assist you in achieving your targets. Coaches can assist athletes at every level of fitness and ambition.
Some members find that as their fitness increases they may wish to experience competition. Athletics Ireland club membership enables entry at county, provincial and national championships. Athletics Ireland provides a comprehensive programme of competition for all age levels from Juvenile to Master.
