Base2Race launches Junior High Performance program

Following the national and international success of our Senior High Performance team and the growth in interest in junior triathlon at a national level, Base2Race are delighted to launch a “Base2Race Triathlon Club”. Headed up by Eanna McGrath, this new initiative will allow Base2Race to expand our current training program to facilitate and incorporate a full youth program.

The new specialized coaching program will be unique to the sport of triathlon in Ireland and will be developed according to the interest and clear purpose of junior athletes looking to take their training to the next level. Youths and seniors alike will all be coached with “best practice” in mind using the rigors of contemporary science, individual interest in each individual athlete, and commitment from all parties involved.

Typically, training will take place in Greystones, Co. Wicklow and may involve swimming up to five days per week in Greystones. Running and cycling sessions will be dependent on individual circumstances. Juniors may only be biking and running on weekends, whereas seniors typically train daily.

The intensive program is open to all ages but will be restricted by both the demands of the program on the athlete; and by the demand for the program itself. 

We will be hosting some introductory training days over this coming mid-term break this October Bank Holiday (Mon 31st Oct 2016 to Fri 4th Nov 2016). We are asking interested parents/athletes to register their interest by October 19^th.

We are delighted to welcome multiple Ironman & 70.3 winner Eimear Mullan to Base2Race.

Just before Christmas I headed off to Egypt for a camp with my team Alameda ON. While I was away Ritchie spent a few days in Dublin with the Base2Race group and their coach Eanna McGrath. I heard great things so when I arrived back and I was keen to meet the group.
Recently I had been a bit lost in terms of coaching and my plans for next season but after a day or two with Eanna and the Base2Race squad I knew that this would be a perfect training base. I was suddenly excited about the prospect of training in Ireland, something I've never done before.
Eanna agreed to coach me so we got to work right away. The training around Dublin and Wicklow is perfect and having the facilities and support at Base2Race makes this much better than anywhere I've trained before. The whole group have been so welcoming and I'm looking forward to training and racing with them all season.
