1st race in the weekend report by Jay Ó Mathúna 🏃‍♀️🥇🏃‍♂️

Great trip to Limerick yesterday for 3 of the Cranky Crew - Coach Kieran, Mark Murphy and Jason O’Mahony at one of the first and best 10k Road races of the year. The challenging Tom Walsh 10k road race lay ahead. After a small few miles warm up, we lined up and before the start of the race, one of the local kids sang and gave a great rendition of the national anthem. A lovely start to the race downhill but soon to be hit with strong headwinds for the first couple of miles until the turn off the main road and on through Caherline where the course evens out and we had the wind behind us. Following undulating roads, and a few brief hills between miles 5 and 6, we flew down the hill towards the finish line in one of the best races finishes out there! Great support throughout and very well organised races. We will be back next year!

A great start to the year for the Cranky Crew on one of the great races of the year.

Well done all!

Great to get out racing this morning at the Clonmel 4 Miles race without doubt one of the fastest and best four-mile races in the country.

Fantastic turnout with 700+ runners on the start line, a lovely fast course, and a really well organised event from start to finish. These are the kind of races that remind you why you love the sport.

Personally, I was delighted to dip under 22 minutes, ticking off one of the goals I’d quietly set for myself heading into my 50s. It made for a very enjoyable morning and it was great to be back racing hard.

Days like this reinforce what I believe as a coach consistent training, patience, and enjoying the process really do pay off, no matter what stage you’re at. It’s exactly the message I try to pass on to the runners I work with every week.

Well done to everyone who raced this morning great running all round 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🥇

Great to get out yesterday and race in the Klein 4K series.
Always a good one short, hard, honest racing, which I’m a big fan of.

Lovely weather, perfect conditions, and a very enjoyable run overall. These kinds of races are great reminders of how important it is to keep sharpening things, even outside of the main target races.

As a coach, I still love getting on the start line myself — it keeps you honest and reminds you what that controlled discomfort feels like 😅

If you’ve a local race going on, get stuck in.
Short races, no pressure, plenty of upside.

Consistency wins.
