Great running....you have 4 sec on me now over 5km. You still got chicked though.....
ah I didn't get chicked, sure I never got past her to be chicked
I think one of my race goals for next yr will be to finish ahead of the winning girl in each race, be tough going to beat Lizzie Lee though ! 0 -

Your spot on tno,it will be well run and will most certainly be the proper half marathon distance.theboyblunder wrote: »Congrats TNO - great time for 5K! I was talking to two lads at the weekend whose club are organising clonakilty. Its a 'scenic' west cork course
Scenic means hills and more hills,it was bad planning from them really,it will be clonakilty that will suffer because our half had nearly 1000 entries last year and may go over this year,that will impact on them i would imagine.0 -

Oh i'm def heading down and there'll be a car-load with me, all in chase of a PB
Guy at club got burnt badly by two "new" races this yr, Limerick Marathon and the Clonmel half which was 14.x miles ! I'm sure of course that Clonakillty will be accurately measured !

what happened your club mate in the limerick marathon? 2 of the lead 3 took a wrong turn and cut the route short by accident! finished in 2:3X!!
i did the half, no real complaints about it though, although there were no mile markers for the half, just the mile markers for the full...so everytime we passed a marker, it involved doing some maths, ok was only .1 of a mile out but still....
i dont think ill pay 50euro+ entry again, where there are so many cheaper, more established races around....(excluding marathons)0 -

I'll leave you off this time....only because I'll probably get hammered myself by Lizzie Lee in the triathlon on saturday.0 -
5miles on grass this evening, pace about 7:50min/mile. not wearing the HRM this week, battery crocked again, must order a blast of em.
This was like a recovery run, as I was at a work-do last nite, thank god I was drinking bottles and not pints! Some head on me this morn
Plan is for a tempo session of some sort tomorrow.0 -
11.0miles out at farm with 3*2miles at tempo pace, 2mins recovery between intervals.
Hit tempo pace splits of 6:08, 6:09 and 6:15.
Slept in this morn, knock on effect from being out thurs nite I reckon, but got up and hit the farm. Couple of Eagles doing 20miles out there, so did a warm-up lap with them, very warm out there this morn, teached me for sleeping in !
Happy with tempo splits, mcmillan suggests a slightly faster pace for tempo when ure doing them as intervals, couple of weeks ago I found it tough to hit 6:25 pace for the exact same session.
Results from the 5k are now up, they have me at 17:44 (tho I have it at 17:42), I won't argue, its still a PB! 0 -

i had a feeling that you would have a fast tempo pace, with all the faster stuff your doing in training like.....isint it all directly related to VO2 max levels anyway!
it will stand to you come next week, good session!0 -

I've a bit of a head-cold, sneezing and lemsip all day. Will mind myself for rest of week now, I've no temperature or anything and just wanted to get out and run between the showers down here!!
good luck getting over the cold TNO, and hopefully you will be fresh come sunday!tisnotover wrote: »1:22/1:23 I'd take off ya if you could give it to me !
ill be lucky to help you along for 8/9miles....after that im sure you will be ahead on your own...but 1:22/1:23 will be on either way...

Winter Training officially started tonite according to our coach !!
I wasn't feeling the best all day, head-cold worse than yest, but headed out just to jog a couple of miles to see how things were at track.
Session planned was to do 3miles at tempo pace, with each person taking a turn at front to set the pace, the person coming to the front was the guy at back of the group each time. We hit 6:20min/mile average pace, which was good going and it was great crack sprinting past the group and setting the pace at front Plan is to extend the number of miles at tempo I think and after that the pace.
6miles total. Rest now for rest of week if I have to, I need to shift the cold, no-way I was fit for 13.1miles at that pace tonite!0 -

I remember doing sessions like that as well. They can be great fun if your feeling it, especially going round the group like you said. If you not feeling it, well thats a different thing :eek:
Congrats on your recent pb for the 5k btw, and best of luck in the 1/2, I've no doubt you'll run a cracker.0 -
