Renowned Irish runner Catherina McKiernan was in Salthill recently, giving a workshop in ChiRunning, a cutting-edge approach to better running.
McKiernan was invited to Galway by Sarah Thornton, one of Galway’s leading personal trainers. Thornton had previously attended one of McKiernan’s workshops, and was inspired by both her and the ChiRunning programme, which enhances the joy of running, and makes running a safe and effective lifelong programme for health, fitness, and well-being.
“I did the workshop in Dublin in July and immediately thought it would be great for my clients to do it too. I really like the way Catherina focuses on the enjoyment of running and getting the most out of it without injurying yourself. She has a lovely way of explaining this technique that is very inspiring. In the end, we had to add on another workshop because of demand from sports clubs and individual runners around Galway,” Thornton explained.
The ChiRunning workshops were held in Ocean Fitness, Galway’s new premier fitness facility in the Salthill Hotel, where personal training by Sarah Thornton will be available from January.
