Hash House Harriers

I do wish the weather would make it's mind up! - Or at least the forecasters. One minute we're due a heatwave, amber alerts are in place, hosepipe bans at the ready, the next it's raining. Oh well, this is Ireland after all, so lets go and have a run and a beer to discuss all afterwards. This week, whatever the weather does, we will be heading around the streets of South Dublin and ending up at **Murphy's in Rathmines**, always a welcoming hostelry, so come along and join us all, you know it makes sense. For newcomers, our Group Runs are great fun, safe for all, and once the run is complete, we can share a beer, have a good chat, make new friends, and look forward to the following week. The route map is here - https://www.mappedometer.com/?maproute=921064 Regards, Liam

• What we'll do About us: The Tibetan Dharma and Meditation Group is part of a Buddhist organisation based in Taiwan, which is centred on one of the greatest living rinpoches (teachers) in the world at the moment. It aims to introduce people living in Ireland to Buddhist teachings and practices that have been passed to Rinpoche through his masters and their masters going back many, many generations in order to benefit and bring peace to all sentient beings. Location: We hold our meetings in the small hall at Sandyford Community Centre, Lambs Cross, Sandyford, Dublin 18.

Our midweek training session :-) Choose from 5km, 7.5km or 10km

Yoga Classes with Hannah Fitzpatrick on Wednesday evenings at Anam Ashram, Tallaght, 7pm-8:8.30pm. This is a moderate paced class where we will stretch and strengthen our bodies in various ways, but we will also keep a keen awareness on our breath and body-sensation throughout. We'll aim to increase our connection and our compassion to ourselves, while also giving our bodies the refreshing and rejuvenating workout it adores and requires! We will end with a guided deep relaxation. Contact Hannah for more details and for booking on 083-4863900

Join for the group for a 10km run in the Phoenix Park on Wednesday evenings. We start running at 6:15pm SHARP. The pace will be approximately 5:30/5:40 mins/km, ideally you will need to be able to run at this pace to stay with the group. We meet opposite the entrance to the Papal Cross car park, on the small side road just off the Acres Road. If you have any questions, please let me know, Thank you Maeve

Mix of paces in this group from 6:30 min per km to close to 5 min per km. For those that want to do a longer distance, they will probably start earlier and link up with us for 9AM If you are doing one of the earlier runs (Such as Harry's run), please sign up for this too. Ideally we will run the trails if they are not too wet. Meet near the bus stop at the visitors centre car park. If you have any question, please get in touch. Appreciate if you can sign up as early as possible. If you have any suggestions for changes, let me know. Thanks Shane

I've changed the time on this event to start a little earlier, so it's not too hot. We will start the session with some light stretching exercises to warm us up, and help to prepare us for the run. The pace of the run will be steady, depending on who is running with us on the day. Days when we have a large group we may break into multiple groups, each operating independently at their own pace. Saturdays are good for intermediate runners, and is usually a 10km run, again at a steady pace. If you're looking to get into running, come along on Tuesday or Thursday mornings and I will coach you, at your pace, to get you up to running (jogging) to 5km without stops. The only thing I will ask, if you're a beginner, is that you're able to walk for approx 30 minutes at a relaxed pace. PLEASE NOTE: That, if you RSVP a particular event, then please ensure that you attend, as there may be other members relying on you for company on the run. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any run or activity that you participate in with the group will be at your own risk. Usually we have a post run (after our cool down) coffee in the Dash container at the Hole in the Wall pub.
