A massive well done to the latest Couch to 5k 'graduates' who completed their full 5k today.

It was a great group. No

Some of those who could not make it today ran the trial 5k last Thursday.

Anyone who has not got their Certificate of Completion can contact me to make arrangements.

A big thanks to the Run For Fun crew for helping out.

The next Couch to 5k at Letterkenny Community Centre begins on Monday, January 5th.

Happy Christmas everyone.
Kind regards,
Chris Ashmore

Today is the day.
The latest Couch to 5k Class will 'graduate' this morning as they do a full 5k (there is also an option to do 3k).

Registration at Letterkenny Community Centre from 9.30 am.

We start at 10.00 am.

Good luck to all.

Well here we are, this evening we will to our trial 5k run.
Don't worry, it is forecast to be a balmy 6 degrees and cloudy at 6pm so the current heavy rain will be gone!

This evening we will do a full 5k run (there will be a 3k option for those who feel 5k is too much).

I will wait until later to decide whether we do it all on the track, or some on the track on some on a loop around the Neil T. Blaney Road.

I have hi-viz vests, but if you have your own bring them along.

This evening counts as completing the Couch to 5k programme.

But on Sunday, we will do the real McCoy. Registration at Letterkenny Community Centre will be from 9.30 am and at 10.00 am we will to a 5k loop around that part of town. (NOTE: You will have the option to do it on the track if you prefer).

On Sunday, there is a €5 fee to cover medals, certs and refreshments. If you paid up front at the beginning this is included.

Do bring friends and family along on Sunday morning to cheer you over the line.

It's a big achievement. Well done to each and everyone of you who have stuck at it. It has been a strong group.

Also, just to let you know that for anyone who is interested in keeping up the running, there is a social running group called Run for Fun Letterkenny.

We meet on Mons, Tues and Thurs beside the track (same place as you register for Couch to 5k) and we do 5k runs around the town. About 90% of the group have done Couch to 5k in the past.

This is a great way to keep up the running. Look at what you have achieved over the past two months! If you run a couple of days a week you will find that doing the 5ks becomes much easier, and more enjoyable. It is very much a social run. Hopefully some of you might consider joining us.

All the best and well done in advance, Chris Ashmore.

Running on a regular basis changes everyghing—it changes how you move through your days, how you handle stress, and how you see yourself.

Physically, your heart and lungs grow stronger, your muscles adapt, and your endurance climbs. What once felt difficult starts to feel normal, and everyday movement becomes easier.

Mentally, consistency brings calm, clarity, and quiet confidence. Showing up again and again builds trust in yourself—the kind that doesn’t disappear on hard days.

Better sleep, steadier energy, sharper focus—these are the small wins that add up fast. Over time, running stops being just something you do and becomes part of how you live.

And that’s the real shift: regular running doesn’t just make you fitter. It makes you more grounded, more resilient, and better equipped for everything life throws your way.
