Get Running

GO ON, GET RUNNING!

Everyone is a runner once they start, so why not sign up to one of our courses and make it happen?


Choose the right eight-week plan for you and let Mary Jennings, founder and running coach with ForgetTheGym.ie, guide you every step of the way.


  • The Beginner plan is an eight-week course that will take you from your couch to being able to run at least 30 minutes or 5km non-stop.

  • The Stay on Track plan is an eight-week course for those who can squeeze in a 30-minute run three times a week, but need a kick-start to get going.

  • The Advanced plan is an eight-week course designed for those who can comfortably run for 30 minutes and want to move up to the 10km mark.
