Unable to make any Saturday but when we get closer to Barca I'd be up for it on a Sunday if there's any interest.

Absolutely! I'll be doing back to back long runs by then (conn prep), so it would be handy to have a group both days.

Guys just to let you know there's an 8 mile race starting on Furze Road at 10 and heading up S bends etc so you may want to avoid that route. I don't think the field is that big though!

yep, if we get away by 9.30am we should avoid it.

We might run down by it for a look, just out of curiosity. Anytime i run a race in the park there's always runners out for a jog in the opposite direction of the route.

Going to race myself so wont be around sat, will be running early sunday if anyone is around but will be 10 min/miles depending on the legs.

You might see me tomorrow night but only if:

1. I can get out of work on time;
2. The weather is not horrendous.

Very little valuie in training then week before a race and getting soaked will do more harm than any good from the session.

Didn't you run 26+ in DCM? :pac:

Tec Diver

Put me down as a possible, although I may not have a way of getting there...

No, I took a shortcut in the park and cut straight through to Foster's Avenue.

With all of the 'hitting the wall' talk for a marathon, how do people run 40/50 miles?

You're probably right :mad:
Anyone been out at UCD have any idea what the track is like?

Might do intervals in the gym on the threadie instead...

Now that the Jingle Bells run is cancelled, who fancies a group run in the phoenix park on saturday? It would be good to get a few miles done before the beers that evenng...:pac:

Gis a lift and I'll come. I'm too much of a pussy to run to the park.
