‘Runuary’ with Athletics Ireland
Jessie and Thomas Barr, the Olympic siblings, today launched the
Irish Life Health ‘Runuary’ programme to support runners, of all levels to run January and not let it run them.
With the uncertainty of the last few months, many of us have turned to running to relieve stress, clear our head and to feel more in control.
Starting on January 1st, it encourages runners, from beginners to the more experienced, to commit to challenging but realistic running programmes, with a target distance to be completed on January 31st.
