Winter Plans at ForgetTheGym

Dec 13, 2024

It's during the winter months that we really need the kick out the door, so thats what we are here for. Our aim is to help you balance out the madness of these final few weeks of 2024 and then encourage you to start off 2025 on the right foot.

November's Focus : This was a super month at ForgetTheGym. The pressure of the marathon is behind us, we took off to France for our Beaujolais adventures and we has a glorious month of Beach Classes to help us stay moving midweek as it got dark so early. Add to that all the great parkrun achievements and adventures and we are determined not to hibernate this winter!

Winding down December : The ladies in our membership now have a full month of festive events and support to keep them sane in the season! From yoga to podcasts, dawn dips to festive cookies, there is a lot more than running in the membership. But we kick off the festive season with our famous Christmas lights runs.

With 3 nights of adventures, we have Fancy dress, twinkling lights and christmas markets all on the agenda - if thats not balance i dont know what is! We might see you at the Jingle bells 5k in early December too - thats always a great one! 

Christmas shopping for runners? If you are looking to find a present for a runner, here are our suggestions. 

If you are feeling the chill : Have a read here if you are not quite sure what to wear on the run these day. 

Membership Adventures : Our membership is 20 months old now and most of our attention this year has gone into making it the best place to be on the internet. We are thrilled with how its going and thanks to everyone for your wonderful feedback. If you are keen to join, get your name on the waiting list, as we will open membership in the spring for one week only! Find out more about membership

Beach Classes : We start a brand new term at the end of January - you can see all the details here for our New Year Running Classes. They are suitable for any ladies who need motiavaton throughout the winter to keep themselves moving. 

Want to start running? : Our Beginners Running Programme also kicks off at end of January. This can be completed 100% online or you can join us in person too in Dublin. This programme gets you up to 5k by March - and there is a special offer up until 10th Dec!!! 

Planning for 2025 : We always have one eye on the future! Once our January classes and members events are underway, attention will then go to our next dublin marathon coaching programme and we have 3 summer retreats coming too. 

Behind the scenes : This is also the time of the year we look back and reflect on our running year, bringing together lots of photos and memories. There are a LOT to go through but by the end of 2024 we will share with you some of the highlights from our year. 

Wishing you all a little escape from the madness of this season. Remember, you always feel better after a lap around the block - at whatever pace! Be sure to get your dose of fresh air therapy each day - even if it is just a deep breath or two! 

Mary, Linda, Aoife and Dee xx
