The countdown is well and truly on! There are now just four weeks until the BnM Tullamore Harriers Half Marathon. and race day will be here before you know it.
The next four weeks will fly by, so now is the time to stay focused and make the most of your training. Whether you are aiming to smash your personal best time and topping that podium or simply looking forward to crossing the finish line, every run between now and Saturday, 29th August will make a difference.
A half marathon is a big challenge and deserves proper preparation. Stick to your training plan, get those miles in, practice your recovery and nutrition, and arrive at the start line feeling ready.
Remember, the hard work is done over the coming weeks - don’t regret the preparation - or lack of!
The reward comes on race day.
Stay consistent. Stay motivated. Stay healthy.
See you on the start line in four weeks

I had the pleasure of calling over to Pink Zone Fitness,owned by Monika a club member to present her with the trophy she won as part of the winning team in Roscommon a while back.

Monika was also part of the winning Peugeot Race Team.

I was kindly showed around her ladies-only gym and her fitness facilities.

It has everything under one roof, and ladies, you can even enjoy a little pampering too, as her beauty salon is there as well all under the one roof.

Monika has a fantastic special offer on at the minute, and I was genuinely impressed with the facilities. I would highly recommend paying her a visit.

She has all the equipment needed for anyone training for a HYROX, as well as for general fitness.

Ladies definitely be worth giving her a call…
