GAA Endurance Group Plan

Created on 28 March 2013 Category: Athletics

The GAA Endurance Group was set up 8 years ago to support endurance running in Glasgow. The group organises a range of activities including the Glasgow Endurance Sessions and the Miler Meets. Early in 2013 the group surveyed individuals with an interest in endurance to find out what they thought of the group's activities and to get some ideas about what other things we should be doing. The survey results have been used to develop a work plan
which will guide the group's work over the coming year. Key areas of work are:
The development of the endurance sessions – to include a summer programme and also long runs

The Miler meets

Helping athletes to competitions ; and

Junior development

The group are keen for more people to get involved and need some specific help to run some of its activities, specifically the Miler Meets, developing long runs on Sunday’s from the Emirates Arena and delivering the Endurance Sessions. If you think that you can help with any of these tasks please contact Sean Watson on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
