Dublin City Marathon Training - 4:00-4:30 hour

Have you an entry to this year's Dublin City Marathon? Perhaps you are preparing for the Race Series half marathon in September - Or you may just be trying to build up your long runs with no specific race or target in mind. Are you fed up doing those long runs on your own and would love some company to make them a little easier?

The aim of this group is to enjoy a good sociable run in the company of like minded people and we finish each run with tea and cake in the visitor centre where we meet up with other Dublin Runners doing different distances. This gives us the opportunity to tell each other how great we are.

This group is for those who are targeting a 4:00-4:30 hour marathon on Oct 26th. Our pace will be 6 20 - 6 30 mins/km. If currently, your pace is below 6 30/km for 10 miles (16 km) this group may not be for you. Likewise, if your pace is faster then you might be better suited to run with one of the other Dublin Runners marathon training groups. You will have a good idea after a week or two.

This week's run is 11 miles (17.7 km). We will increase our distance weekly throughout July, August and September, culminating with 2 x 20 mile (32 kms) runs at the end of Sept/ beginning of Oct prior to tapering for the marathon.

Water stops will be organised each week left out in advance at points along the route. This will be shared by the group, rotating on a weekly basis. Please RSVP early in the week so whoever is doing the water stops know how many bottles to leave out. If you cannot make it please sign out in advance.

Plan to arrive at the car park 5-10 mins before the run start time as we start punctually.
