Nutritional talk
As you know on Monday just gone we had organised for a nutrition talk after training with Petra Fulham 🙂 it was definitely worth while attending 🙂 as I defo picked up some tips I’m gonna try out 🙂 plus we got to try out Petra’s homemade treats which she calls “Mighty Bites” when these were being passed around there was a lot Mmmmm sounds being made LOL! I have attached a copy of the handout that Petra gave to us which has some great recepie ideas :). Please remember if you are trying anything new to incorporate it into your training plan and not to be trying something new on race days 🙂
KAC charity event – Run a mile for children running for their lives
Our ‘Run a mile…’ event is going ahead on the 10th October at the track, 12.00-2.00pm. We will need plenty of volunteers on the day to help make it a success. If you are free to help set up in advance, steward/marshal during the event, and/or help tidy up after it please email/text/speak with Darragh Page. We will need helpers from 11.30 am, and hope to have everything wrapped up promptly after 2 pm. We need as many people as possible to help out, but everyone should be able to fit in a run, too.
Following a suggestion from one of our club members, the committee has agreed that the club will hire the track for 2 hours on Saturday,10 October, between 12.00 – 2.00 pm, to host a ‘run a mile…’ charity event. During this time the track will be available for everybody – runners and non-runners – to come along, ‘run (or walk) a mile’, and make a financial contribution (suggested donation – adults €10; children €any) to aid the most vulnerable of refugees. Participants can race it, run it, jog it, or walk it, and can even cut it short if a mile is too much of a challenge. It will be open to all ages, and every cent raised will go to UNICEF’s children’s refugee fund. Please jot this in your diary, make a special effort to come along on the day and ‘run your mile’, and please advertise this event as widely as possible among your family, friends and neighbours, and athletes in other clubs – it is open to all. Track rules determine that appropriate running shoes and loose clothing must be worn. Note that we have to free up the track by 2.00pm, so 1.45pm is the latest possible time for entry. If on Facebook please post a message on the forum if you are interested in taking part…
