Anyone know of any good web sites where I can view a running (road race) calendar for the coming months in Ireland. Just got back in training (after years in the pub) and hoping to complete some 10k or 5k or similar in the next 6 months. The calendar will give me some dates to target.
www.runnersworld.co.uk
try this website - has information on race calendars - although its mainly English content, they have links to other countries including Ireland.
Also have lots of useful material in terms of training plans, calculators in terms of training pace/predicted race times, practical tips and tricks, nutrition, injuries and race recovery etc etc etc.
You can also get Irish Runner magazine and Runners Worls magazine in any good newsagents - usually list upcoming races as well
Most road traces are spring/summer. You will find some cross country stuff on allright.
Try also www.athleticsireland.ie and see whats on their list for the winter. You could of course register for the dublin marathon before it closes this evening , but that may be pushing it a bit!
