Whether doing some Circuit Training, cycling, swimming, running, etc, weekly consistancy is key to overall Fitness and Health benefits.

Already for 2026 we have Seven SSF participants,
with less than 10 classes away from the Annual '50 classes' mark this year, and soon to be the first to recieve the new Southside Fitness 'Milestone' Training Tee.
And another Eight, with less 20 classes away from the '50 class' Mark.

Well done all 👏👏

First IMRA Race in 5 months.
We had three involved. Catherine Rebecca, Dave, and our Louth friends, Ronan and Darren on duty, and our Bettystown friend, Keelin, racing.

As usual, the 22km Wicklow Half was full of hardcore mountain runners, and all flat out from start to finish, with positions chopping and changing, depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the runners.

A tough and exilerating race from start to finish.

And I'd say there'll be a good few DNF'S.
I witnessed two bad injuries.

Results not out yet, but well done all 💪

I expect we'll have a couple of top 2 Age Category positions, if not better, and maybe 1 top 3.

Great IMRA Event.
