A good session last week in the heat, it will be a good bit cooler this week but hopefully dry. Going to go for 1600s this week. If done properly this is a tough session but it is a great conditioner particularly for anyone going longish. As with other weeks we are in the middle of the race season, many people will have done either Blackwater or Wicklow last weekend and this coming weekend we have Hell of the West and the Youghal races. So it is up to individual athletes to manage the recovery/race preparation for themselves. It is no harm to do a quick session on Wednesday but if you are racing at the weekend probably not the full 3 x 1600m especially if it is HotW which is on the Saturday. Just discuss what you are going to do at the start of the main set.

Usual meeting arrangements, the session starts at 7:00pm sharp on the Sonia O’Sullivan track in the UCC Sports Complex on the Mardyke. There are dressing rooms and shower facilities in the pavilion adjacent to the track but no parking inside the Mardyke for participants
