About the Programme
The Fit 4 Life programme, which was initiated by Athletics Ireland, commenced training in Donore Harriers in April 2009.
Training, excluding the winter months, is conducted the scenic surroundings of the Phoenix Park . There are various levels of fitness in the present membership of the programme. There are the walkers who are keen to achieve a level of fitness for various reasons. The next is the walking and jogging group. Each week they are doing less walking and more jogging. The final group are the joggers and runners, some of which have come from the walking and jogging group. Most of the members have competed in various races, at their own level of fitness, with their confidence and ability improving as the training progresses. New members, both male and female, are most welcome to join the Fit 4 Life programme. As training is ongoing throughout the year new members would not be at a disadvantage.

2 September 2010 Update - Galway City Marathon
Fit 4 Life group had two relay teams (4 per team) which travelled to Galway to compete in the Galway City Marathon held on 29 Aug 10. Sinead McCauley, Niamh O’Reilly, Sinead Hope and Desmond Gill competed for one team and Michelle Ruddy, Nicola Dowdall, Barbara Riddell and Barry Potts made up the second team. It was a new experience for the Group to run as part of a team. The weekend away was enjoyed by all and it was a credit to the girls for arranging everything in relation to the race, ie registering the teams and booking hotel rooms. Both teams competed well finishing the course under 4 hours. Their sights are now set on competing in a marathon abroad. Congratulations to both teams.
