decided to go on my first run since last Saturday today. 5 miles in 36 mins. no side effects on my left side. Back calves feel a bit sore but im putting that down to rustiness. Also broke in my new Mizuno wave inspire 6's! Might have a burial for the old Mizuno 5's
all runners/joggers welcome!
Will do an 8 mile LSR tomorrow and then rest on Monday. Then Tuesday is the BHAA 5k beach run. Next Sunday is the Sportsworld Classic 5m and the Tuesday after that is the Docklands 5m. Gonna be a busy 2 weeks ahead. Hope I can get a new 5m personal best...0 -

Thur 13th May 8 miles (supposed to be
)
Set off from work my my 8 mile run. Calves were still aching from the last few days. From the very start i was in a little discomfort. Made my way out to Sandymount and along the promenade. I was still grimissing after 3 miles. I got to 4.9 miles and i felt a ligament at the back of my right knee tighten sharp so decided to stop for a minute. Felt very p1ssed off at this stage. So started up again and ran home. 5.6 miles in total with 1 stop, not 8 miles!!! Kinda feel dejected after that awful run last night and lookin for reasons as to what went wrong. The only answer i can think of is that the Tuesday race took a lot outta me and the 5 miles the following day didnt help either!!!
Gona rest today, thank God Ive a rest day planned for today! Supposed to do 3 miles easy on Saturday but am 50 50 on this. Yesterday's run has really knocked my confidence going into Sundays 5m road race!!0 -

May 18th Docklands 5 mile funrun/not so fun runs!!!
So many worries before this one. Would my legs be recharged after Sundays 5 mile race? Then i had some Paula Radcliffe moments this afternoon. Stomach didnt feel great at all. Went along anyway, then realised i left my chip at home so had to go back and get it :mad:. Then 10 minutes before the race, another Paul Radcliffe moment :eek: Ran for my life into the Milano restaurant on Grand Canal Dock. By the time i came out the race had started. 1 minute gone on the clock, oh dear..
Soon caught up with the masses. It was sooo frustrating trying to get through them. Really slowed me down. so i kept hussling and nudging until the pack started to spread a little. It felt good to be passing so many people. Passed a guy i knew and he couldnt believe my pace. Then passed a mate in Irishtown who gave me some nice words of encouragement. On East link toll bridge passed some Tri guys who were shoutin 'go on ya good thing!' Wasnt sure were they supporting me or slagging me Still i passed people out though less frequently. With a mile left i passed a middle aged guy running who said he wished he was me?! Finished in 29 mins 10 seconds though the finish time on the clock was 31 mins and a bit.
5 45
5 51
5 55
5 52
5 42
I was very happy looking at the times considering i was in a bad way just before the run. Maybe i could have broken my 28 56 pb had it not been for the human traffic. Tryin to get through 2000 people is a struggle, maybe next time :rolleyes:0 -

Based on week 1 of the P&D marathon program that i'll be starting next month, my new plan for this week is;
Mon Rest
Tue 5 miles temp (3 at HM pace) done
Wed Rest
Thur 7 miles aerobic
Fri Rest
Sat 2miles recovery
Sun Medium run 9 miles
9 miles at 7 min mile pace..Tough run out there today. The heat was a killer, was half thinking of stopping after 1.5 miles! The run took in herbert park, sean moore park, Irishtown nature reserve and sandymount beach/promenade. The Garmin recorded the following times;
mile 1 6 49
mile 2 6 55
mile 3 6 57
mile 4 6 59
mile 5 6 57
mile 6 7 09 (wrong turn in nature reserve and needed to slow down)
mile 7 6 57
mile 8 6 57
mile 9 6 56
recovery 0.71 miles at average 8 15 pace
Was worried before as this is the furthest ive run in 2010. Happy with the outcome though. Just over 23 miles this week aswell which is also the most ive done in a week this year. Looks like im marathon mode now! bought 'born to run' for inspiration too 0 -

Tue 1st Jun - BHAA Dunboyne 5 miles
This race could have gone 1 of 2 ways for after last weeks mileage increase (23 miles incl. 9 miles LSR). Either my legs would be fatigued and id struggle home hopefully for sub 30 or the LSR would help my endurance and id get 29 mins. The weather was fine and the course was 1 loop which was a great help.
The race started and i held back a little for the 1st mile, didnt want to go out too fast like the sportworld 5 miler. Felt good after 2 miles and at that stage there was a small group of 4 i was in. I pushed on a little catching 1 or 2 guys ahead along with the small group who were like my shadow at this stage. Come the last mile another guy that was 10 metres ahead got dragged into the group so now there were 5. The race finished with a loop of the athletics track. At that stage i was knackered and the guy we caught with a mile left made a move. Which i in turn responded to with 50m left and got a burst of energy to sprint to the finish holding him off. Was a great ding dong battle around with that group and it felt good to get the better of them! Was nice to have a little conversation afterwards with 1 of the group, he was using me to keep his pace up and thanked me for helping him get to the finish. The garmin recorded the following;
Mile 1 5 37
Mile 2 5 37
Mile 3 5 47
Mile 4 5 57
Mile 5 5 41
Overall I was pretty damn happy, my old 28 56 pb is now a new 28 39 pb!! 17 seconds knocked off 0 -

hi smmoore79, just saw your target on the Dublin Marathon thread. 2:55. Best of luck.
Whats your race schedule between now and then?
Well done smmoore for nailing down your target time. Based on your recent 5mile times 2:55 should be well within ya, after the specific marathon training that you are now starting.
Looking forward to following the log over the next few months.
Best of luck !

Based on my training (or lack of) last time and getting 3 10 id say it is very possible to go sub 3. But with all these things comes other factors such as my slow recovery from long runs (this did a lot of damage to my training last time); a wedding/stag/holiday in between and how i feel on the big day! Hopefully i'll overcome these things though and nail the marathon :rolleyes:0 -

Cheers Tis, I might just order some of that. The reviews seem pretty convincing! So this would also be a replacement for energy gels during the marathon? Id try anything (within reason) to get over those Sunday long runs! And during Long runs you'd drink a bottle of this along with a bottle of water followed by some more Hi 5 after the run?
Hmmm, I don't know about using it as a replacement for energy gels. In Cork, I took 5*SIS GO gels and the water that was handed out. On reflection, I mite have done better to take a small bottle of this as well at some stage (think sosa did ?)
For a long run, I'd make two bottles of it, one for during and one for after. The bottle size would be 750ml say and I'd add 2/3 scoops of powder to it. I had a fuel-belt with 4*8oz bottles, which I then poured one of the 750ml bottles into. Any overflow, I drank before the run !
I think you can buy sachets of this as well in your sports shop if ya just want to try it out before odering a tub of it. It is very easy to take and it shouldn't upset your stomach. I know that Sosa and aero2k both use it.0 -
