Fingers crossed training can resume at the Club after Easter (14th Mar)

The headline news this time last year was that all athletic activities had fallen silent due to the cancellation of many races. The expectation at the time was that they would be rescheduled in due course and members were urged to keep training from home because the fitness that they would retain “over the following weeks” would benefit them greatly on their return to racing. Imagine, the expectation back then was that the impact of the health restrictions could be over in a matter of weeks? How very wrong we were and here we are twelve months later in yet another lockdown, the third but hopefully the last one! Given recent comments by the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste about a loosening of restriction after Easter, fingers crossed we can see a return to training then and possibly an outdoor track and field season this summer.
