    Not sure Im bothered with Fingal 10k, thinking I may do it without killing myself and run back into town afterwards, about 15-16k from Google maps? Anyone mad enough to do that?

    Good idea!
    I live in Santry and am doing the race also. I could easily get a lift to race start so i'd be on for keeping you company as far as Morton Stadium anyways.

    Will loop back by the Papal Cross Car Park at 10am to pick up anyone who fancies joining at that time. Won't be stopping though so be ready to go - if I stop I fear I won't start again :)

    Hey - just realised you guys are running on Saturday - I thought it said Sunday. We might see you en route for a bit :)

    What's the story with the roads in Phoenix park these days? Are they still closing Chesterfield and sending traffic around the S-bends and Kyber?

    I'm not hugely familiar with the workings/routes of the park as I tend to just run and let ther group do the thinking but the Kyber and S-bends are closed to traffic as far as I know. Seems to be pretty much back to 'normal' (as I know 'normal'). Ran 16 miles there last Saturday pain-free. Well... 'pain-free' in terms of traffic!!

    No, the S-bends and the Kyber are traffic free.
    The top end of Chesterfield Av (from the Monument up to Mountjoy Cross) is free from traffic so you have a mile of lovely fresh tarmac to run on there. Traffic is diverted along the old lamp Rd/North rd.
    Otherwise everything is as normal.

    I might actually tag along with ye if that's ok. 8:30 pace would suit me a lot better. Will see who is there at ten am anyway and will make sure to be a few minutes early. Will be in fairly bright black and green runners :)

    Might see you guys around as well. I'm going for about 26k at 5.00 pace (16? miles at 8.00 pace, or 5 leagues at 25.00 pace :rolleyes: ) and might run up to the park to do them...

    I got my 14 miles done today, so I'm out for Sat. Just made more sense with Fingal 10k on Sunday to be doing the LSR today and recovery tomorrow, rather than the other way around. Looks you might have been go a bit quick for me anyway!

    Have never done one of these group runs, but am supposed to be doing 20 at 8.30 pace in the morning so it seems ideal. Any secret handshakes etc I need to know before joining? Will run from home to the Papal Cross & aim to be there at 9am


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Chartsengrafs


    I'm in the same boat as Macinalli. Also in terms of logistics, is it a loop back to the car for water every now and then situation or carry what you can? I'm easy either way, just not familiar with the general way of doing things :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,663 ✭✭✭claralara


    For the 9am'ers, Digger has kindly offered to wear his blue and white Boards t-shirt and lunge around the car park...

    For the 10am'ers, you'll see the motley crew running back towards/into the car park - we'll be dropping off Meno - he's a mouthy Norrie, you won't miss us ;)

    Re water stops - passing the cars last week was a nightmare mentally so we're going to carry supplies tmrw.

    I'm off to carb load with Ben and Jerry's, popcorn and batman! See y'all in the morning! :)

    This session might suit someone targetting a sub 3 marathon or a sub 1:30 half. Pace for non paced parts will be around 8 min/mile, there'll be 3 minutes easy recoveries between 5k reps. Come along even if you only want to do 1 or 2 of the faster paced 5ks.
