Work Hard!

 

Want to improve your running but are already busy balancing work and family commitments?

 

MTR(Meet Train Race) is DSD's endurance group for adults, and it just might suit you!  Our coached training takes place four times a week with a healthy mix of long distance running, speed work and strenght and conditioning.  We have a plan for each week of the year, and you participate to a degree that your personal circumstances allow or the extent that you want to achieve targets, like completing a marathon or you would like to improv your local parkrun time.  Oh yeah, we get to forge great friendships!  And you have acces to ne of the best outdoor running tracks in the country.  If you have kids in the club you can get discount family membership. 

We take part in the big races.  Some MTR'ers are there to win, others simply to cross the line, while the rest of us cheer them on from the sidelines!  You decide if you want to race. Our favourite has to be the Dublin Marathon, and MTR has a 12 week training plan for this Marathon.
