Hi Tadhg,

Sign me up please. I’m not doing the Dublin Marathon, but I have signed up for Florence Italy a few weeks later.

Tadhg,

I’d be interested in this. However, I am pretty tied up for most of August (triathlon, weddings & holidays) so it would probably be the first week in September before I would be able to make Maria’s training sessions. I have been doing a good bit of running so hopefully I won’t be too far off my target pace.

AS regards the fitness test, I’d be keen to do that and see where I’m at.

Keep us posted,
Paddy.

Thanks for organising this Tadhg. Yes please put my name down for doing the marathon, probably the only way I will loose this flab! My aim is just to get around (without use of stretcher). V unlikely I will do the fitness testing, as extremely ltd time to get out so I prob need that time to get out for run!
thanks again
Sue

Hey folks,

Have discussed with Ellen & Tadhg. So there’s two options for people. Bernard Donne in Trinity or Sean in My Health Matters. Ellen will post up about Sean in My Health Matters (and to organise a group discount), and I’ll provide details on Bernard Donne.

Differences about Bernard Donne in Trinity:
– This is a longer test – taking approximately 2.5 hours.
– More invasive test – takes blood samples while you run on a thread-mill (versus using a gas mask only).
– It’s a more expensive test – €60 (versus €55 or less for Sean in My Health Matters).
– Less commercially biased and only available during the day (versus Sean will who accommodate evening bookings and provide a group discount).

If you want to arrange a test send an e-mail to bdonne@tcd.ie with the following:

Age
Health status
Sport
Competition level
Recent PB
Number of training sessions per week
How is training intensity controlled.

He *can* be pretty poor on responding to e-mail, so include on your first e-mail what mornings or afternoons you would be available for testing (where you’re not training the day before and resting up).

Have fun!

Hugh

Hi All,

Been onto Health Matters and Sean actually has some spots available this Saturday (the next Sat he has is the 23rd of August, and you won’t be able to do that cause you’ll be volunteering for DCT! 😉 )

So if anyone wants to go ahead with an apt this sat, please let me know asap (eshillingm@yahoo.co.uk),
Cost will be either €50 or €55 depending on the amount of people who go to him.

Location is Westpark gym in Tallaght (http://www.westpark.ie/en/facilities/gym” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;) and the test lasts approx 45 mins. Full details are avail here: http://www.myhealthmatters.ie/vo2-testing/vo2-run-testing/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

So let me know:
a) if you want an apt for this sat.
b) if you want an evening apt in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks

Did the test with Sean in Health Matters today, really interesting and well worth doing (particularly if you are as clueless as me!)! 😀

I thought about this for a few mins then got sense it’s CX season !
