Remember Track Sessions Start at 7:00pm
First evening of the track sessions, as above the session starts at 7:00pm. These sessions are on the Sonia O’Sullivan Track in the UCC Grounds on the Mardyke. We are on the track immediately after St. Finbarr’s Athletic Club who have the track from 6:00-7:00pm, so remember track etiquette, don’t start warming up in the inner lanes if the ‘Barr’s are still running. If you want to start early stick to the outer lanes. Also there is security on the gate so unless you are a member of the Mardyke Arena and can show your membership card you may not be allowed take a car in to the grounds. There is some street parking around and you can always park where we meet on the Straight Road and jog over to the Mardyke, its only a couple of hundred metres. Just to give everybody a feel for the track we will start with a simple set of 400s divided as 2 x (5 x 400). Remember try to keep the effort even across the set don’t go out like a train and run down like a clock with a broken spring, alternatively don’t go too easy and then run the last 400 10s faster than all the rest!
