Has this info been published somewhere without my knowing?
If May doesn't count as spring then only one
Edit: Just seen its been on FB since the day after Raheny
Heading down west...will be far from a walk in the park on that course from what I hear! Good leg strengthening right there! 0 -

My thoughts exactly. Initially it was part of the Rotterdam plan as a good steady effort but all the same will be a good one and with no quirky to hold my hand this time I won't be taking a break at mile 24 this time

Good man Luke, fine running. I must race that half one day
Definitely a good one, fast but honest course with long stretches so you always have a good idea of where people are in relation to you. Definitely one I would recommend (I even got lucky enough with regards the traffic complaints a few had) 0 -

Wednesday PM 70 min gym
Decent session tonight though I dropped the weight on a few of the exercises and worked on range of motion and biomechanics more so that strength development given the legs were on the tired side I thought would be pointless aiming to stress the CNS
Training and treatments for the day done so evening to myself. So rare it happens I am not quite sure what to do :P

Go for a run
Managed to resist, Nando's was a calling:D
Thursday AM 4 miles very easy (8.03 min pace)
Thursday PM flexibility and foam rolling
Body let me know in no uncertain terms yesterday was too soon for a session as major case of DOMS so rather than force it the evening was spent with a little TLC after the handy run in the morning.
Friday AM 5 miles easy (7.13 min pace)
Planned on getting up early before start of World indoors to get this one out of the way but head was in the books longer than originally planned last night and woke up moments before the kick off. At first I was nearly resigning myself to missing the morning run however had a brain storm that I could pause it during a lull period, get my run in, come back watch the races skip through the down time in between races and make work on time without missing anything. Chalk one up to time management:D
With Rotterdam firmly put to rest it was time to change the log name.0 -

This is going to be the key word over the next few months. Anyone following my log the last while will know the two most frequent words were probably "consistency" and "complacency" so they will be glad to know that this is what is going to replace themCalvin Johnson wrote: »What are your long term goals Ecoli?
How long are we talking?
The plan for this year is Dublin. I will make my marathon debut without a doubt but before I do I want to gain a bit of confidence by bagging a few pb's over the shorter stuff before going into marathon training. The aim will therefore to be make real gains at 3k-5k over the summer while still keeping the mileage relatively high
Working back from this the plan will look like this over the next few months
Next 8 weeks - Transitioning back to 10k style work (slowly introducing sessions quicker than HMP stuff I had been doing the last whie). The aim is 2 sessions a week and a long run - 5k paced shorter reps/hills, Cruise Intervals/Long Tempos.
From here I will go into a 12 week cycle of 1500/5k training consisting of 2 week cycles of 5 sessions and one long run (i.e 3 sessions one week, 2 sessions and Long run the following). After this a week or two easy running before a 10 week Marathon cycle in build to Dublin.0 -

Calvin Johnson wrote: »And how about long long term goals?
What is the main thing you would like to aim for in your running "career?"
My running career has spanned 17 years so far so this has been an ever moving goalpost.
To put it simply the main thing is enjoying my running. There is no time that I could run that I would think "that's me done with running". No matter what level I get to I will always think to myself there is some aspect I can work on to continue improvement
In terms of ideal times I would like to run however I think I posted something along the lines of this previous
800m: Sub 2
1500m: Sub 4
3000m: Sub 8.40
5000m : Sub 15
10000m: Sub 32
3000m S/C: Sub 9.45
HM: Sub 70
Marathon: Sub 2.28
Once I get to the stage where old age robs me of any chance of PBs then it will be time to become a running tourist with a number of races that I would like to do for the experience:
Comrades
24 hour Championship
Great Wall of China Marathon
Niagra Falls Marathon
Marathon de Medoc
Marathon des Sables
Empire States Run
Athens Marathon
(Just a few off the top of my head)
The day I stop running I will probably be laying horizontal 0 -

"If I'm not out there training, TRR is."
As much as I hate to admit (and I do hate to give you any reason for a bigger ego) I think its going to take me hitting a whole new level to get within an a$$es roar of you in marathon for the next while. Even had I gone through marathon training with no interruptions and everything gone to plan I still wouldn't have got near you on April 13th.
Definitely motivation to train hard and try and bridge that gap between now and Dublin 0 -

Good luck with the goals ecoli. Youve a decent base to build on. A fast marathon has to be on the cards
However, on other matters......Probably should rename it "If I'm not out there training, you can be damn sure Sisters Pearse aren't either."
ye just cant drop it can you? Constant provocation
We dont fight crime, but the brothers are training a lot. Together. Like, as one of those 'club' things do.
If you keep this up i'll ask you to change my log title to 'older sister: 13 years older and 11 minutes faster than ecoli over 26.2' 0 -

Drogheda District also run together a lot, look how well that is received
Training this morning with a club member so that I am free to coach in the club tonight, not clublike enough for you?
Ha you already have your hands full trying to challenge another Tallaght athlete come DCM, don't bite off more than your can chew

Thursday 9 miles easy (7.10 min mile pace)
Dunno whether it was the hills or the correction of form in the gym session but major case of DOMS. My glutes were as tight as a prisoners first time entering the shower room. Kept this nice and handy and a bit of stretching to loosen out the legs when I got home (sorry to disappoint people but this was an AIS free zone, fairly bog standard stretching with just the bit of PIR for all you alphabet fanatics out there ) 0 -
