Friday 5 miles easy (7.38 mile pace)
Just a handy one to get back into the swing after the food poisoning. Dehydration still an issue. Few niggles in the first mile or two but loosened out when I got going
Saturday 8 miles easy (no watch)
Sunday 8 miles easy (7.41 mile pace)
2 day workshop this weekend so had a group of sports therapists to run with so needless to say each one of us got multiple running form tips as every little detail was noted by atleast someone on the course of the run (guess we never truly shut off
). Was ideal way to easy myself back into the normal training routine after illness
Monday AM 2.5 miles easy, 12x600 w/1 min rec, 2.5 miles
2.04, 2.01, 2.02, 2.00, 2.01, 1.58,
1.59, 1.58, 2.01, 1.58, 1.58, 1.59
Solid session in windy conditions. Legs felt fresh and good going into this session so the first few were handy enough and target time was 2 min so happy enough. Last few I was beginning to work as the short recoveries were starting to take their toll but I was never straining so job done0 -

Where have all the crazy late night savage sessions gone

Stopped logging them late night and just filling them in the day after. Funny you should mention it though as I have a session tomorrow that will most likely have to be done late night depending on how the lighting is around the hill I plan on using 0 -

Your hoping for darkness so the ninjas can't see you, right?
Yeah I have learned once to often that darkness is my friend especially when you are a moving target while running as I have found out previously with tRR (or most likely one of his many enemies finally caught up with him) 0 -

Sunday 17 miles easy (7.21 min mile pace)
Alarm set to make sure I would wake up for breakfast before long run in morning as losing the hour it was gonna be a struggle. Woke with the alarm but turned over and woke again 45 min later, 5 min before I was supposed to meet dublinrunner and drquirky in the park. Grabbed two gels to bring with me and tide me over in case of emergency hunger pangs (in the end needed the two)
Thankfully wasn't too late by time I got to the park (apologies again lads) and tipped away handy enough. Legs felt surprisingly good considering the short turn around and no major issues.
highest mileage week since January which is a good sign (or poor sign for the last two months depending on how you look at it) 0 -

Im impressed that you can do 17 more or less on empty the day after that session.0 -

Monday AM 10 miles easy (7.18 min pace)
Handy one today. Legs felt good but kept it nice and handy. Had only planned on doing 6 but as I was finishing up in the Park bumped into Tom and decided to do a loop with him now and shorten this evenings run which suits perfectly given I have lectures till 10 0 -

An improvement on Feb but still a little off where I should be. All going according to plan April will be a solid month of getting the head down as despite a few races lined up, none of them are target ones0 -

my daughter replied for me
"he's from Tallaght - that mean's he's a $%^*"
:pac:
Since when did gazelle become a curse word?
To be fair beside Tom I could well pass as a child given the height difference. I would grow back the beard but would be afraid it might be seen as an attempt to look more like a certain Knocklyon runner (i'll be nice this one time) who seems to be stalking my training runs the last few days 0 -

ha ha I didn't realise you were with Tom. Ray you should have pointed out to your daughter that Tom ran 18.55 the weekend, and unlike top Bros Pearse runners it wasn't for 5k 0 -

Wednesday AM 3 miles easy, 8x800 w/75 sec rec, 3 miles easy
Splits 2.41, 2.38, 2.41, 2.36, 2.41, 2.38, 2.40, 2.35
Down to the track to see they have decided that Radcliffe just couldn't pull off the majestic stride needed to imitate Coe in the upcoming film and needed a replacement. Sadly a major case of DOMS in the glutes meant no knee drive and as quick as it had started my silver screen career was over
On to the session and the aim for me was 2.40s yet for some reason these were all over the place and just couldn't settle into the rhythm. The ironic thing was that despite the splits being all over the place they were consistent in terms of symmetry to the session. Suppose once in a while no harm in this sort of pace fluctuation as you are never gonna have a perfectly paced race. Just don't wanna start making a habit of it 0 -

Thursday 8 miles easy (7.11 mile pace)
Decided early on today to keep it a single and give the legs a bit of a chance to shake the DOMS from the gym the other day although to be honest the legs were feeling grand after yesterday but I was cautious as I knew I had logged some fairly decent miles over the five days previous.
Out after work and the miles ticked along nicely. Shoes were completely flat though and I think are well and truly dead (if you saw the wear patterns most would have a heart attack with the nice concave worn into the medial side of the shoes
) will have to pop over to AK at some stage in the next few days and pick up another pair. 0
