 Johnny Lane is going from strength to strength and now regularly mixes it with the top

runners around Galway, having broken 17 minutes for the 5000m on the track earlier this month Johnny went on to the Maree 5k and repeated that feat on the road. All the hard work in training is really paying dividens now .Remarkable running from Johnny! Keep it up.

 Justin Niland has only been running road races since December 07.Justin set his 10k PB in Athenry St Stephens day of 43:26 and since has smashed through the 40 minute barrier several times in the last few months culminating in a massive effort in Annaghdown running it in a time 37:52. Justin has produced brilliant times race on race and is an inspiration to us all.Watch out Mark Justin is on his Way.  

One of our most recent recruits Patrick Holohan, with only two 5k races under his belt took on Balla last week, generally considered the toughest 10k course around Patrick finished in a time of 38:20 he too has leaped into the sub 40 club on his very first 10k outing. Fantastic running so far and great things to come from Patrick too No Doubt!

Barry is the only member of our club who competes in triathlons, the combined training of cycling swimming and running has been showing in Barry’s times knocking chunks off every time out and relentlessly closing in on his previous form. Keep up the hard work Barry it’s certainly paying off.
