Club training times

During the lockdown Matt will send through 2 sessions each week – one for speed and one for threshold/endurance. Members can then decide what they want to do each week: threshold session on the Tuesday and the speed session on the Thursday (or vice versa).

In view of the cancellation of track sessions, we return to the training options provided weekly by our coach Matt Bidwell similar to those initiated last March.

Update on club training following move to Level 3 as per message from Secretary Maria Kneafsey to all members today:

Athletics Ireland have developed a booking app for training which includes the Health Form – easier all round.

As advised in our earlier post Mayo AC have considered “the practical implications of the guidelines”, issued by Sport Ireland/Athletics Ireland this week. These are the new training procedures outlined here by Maria Kneafsey, Club Secretary:  

Athletics Ireland have announced Phase 3 guidelines from June 29.

            This week’s session from Matt Bidwell: Session details for this week – note same session at both Castlebar and Claremorris:

From Matt Bidwell Mayo AC coach: speed session for this week – note it will be the same session in Castlebar and Claremorris. I’d ask everyone to make a note of the pace required as I won’t be able to pass around the pace chart as before.

We are delighted to announce that track training for Mayo AC members resumes next week at both St Mary’s track Castlebar and Claremorris track.
