From trail runs in Howth to a TV appearance, May has been an eventful month at ForgetTheGym.
Summer at ForgetTheGym is the time when everyone is jealous of our 'job' as running coaches. There is nothing like the great outdoors this time of the year and we are making the most of it.
Classes continue all summer in Sandymount and Clontarf. If you are a lapsed runner or are comfortable running 20 minutes slowly, you can join us any time. Classes for complete beginners resume in the Autumn. View timetable and booking form

Since our last newsletter
So much has happened since our last newsletter. So many photos and memories, but here are just a few. We had races from
parkruns to
marathons and lots of fun at classes and workshops.
We also started our summer series
pop-up classes from Strength and Conditioning to a glorious trail run in Howth. Read about our
alternative Friday night out in Howth.
Here is a taster of what we were up to this May..
In the Press

Last chance for Chirunning
Mary will teach just 1 more Chirunning Workshop in the coming weeks before she takes a break for the summer and next workshops will be late autumn/winter. So if you have been keen to join one of these €25 Chirunning Classes, don't miss out on this last workshop in St Annes Park Raheny.
