Colin Griffin has his sights firmly set on the London Olympics next year as he targets qualification over 50km at a European Grand Prix event in Dudince in Slovakia in March. The time of 3.59.00 is something Colin achieved with relative ease every year since his first attempt at the distance in 2007 where he posted a PB of 3.51.32, but this year injury and disqualification prevented him from posting a 50km performance leaving him chasing qualification in early 2012.

The National Altitude Training Centre was recently opened at the University of Limerick, which consists of an Altitude House as well as a new research program conducted by the University of Limerick. An existing student campus house in Kilmurry Village was converted to a simulated altitude environment, where athletes can live and sleep at high altitude and train at sea-level, a process commonly known as Live High Train Low (LHTL). The idea for this facility, the first of its kind in Ireland and the UK, was drawn up by Colin Griffin, who submitted a proposal to the University of Limerick back in 2009.
