woohoo
a pb for me
down from 53:57 in the same event last year to 41:44 today
yes folks thats a 12:13 seond gain
last years 5 mile was my first ever race so stick with the training and your times will come down.
the garmin has the course down as 4.91 miles which i'm hoping is inaccurate but I'm taking it anyway.
Irish Runner 5 mile 2010
Glad all the hardship (read training) looks like it is slowly paying off
How did everyone else go?0 -

Another week down - hope the Irish Runner 5 4.9 mile went well for everyone! Even if it didn't, you'll still have learnt some valuable lessons about racing, and got a new training top, so worth it anyway
Let's make this a discussion topic too - what have you learnt from your summer racing so far, and has it brought up any particular issues for you?
This week:
Week 5
Monday | Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|Sunday
rest|3 m|5 m|3 m|rest|10 m|cross
Another increase in mileage this week - 10 mile LSR and 5 miles for the midweek sorta-long run. I'm not going to add anything to the midweek run this week due to the slight increase in distance.
Week 6
Monday | Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|Sunday
rest|3 m|5m w/ 2-3 @ PMP|3 m|rest|7 m|cross
Our second step-back week happens this week. Logically our LSR should be 11 miles, so we're stepping back to a nice easy 7-miler. It's also our second week doing 5 miles as the midweek sorta-long run, so we'll throw in a couple of PMP miles.0 -

I strained my back standing on the terrace at the Munster hurling final (up the Deise!) last week,tried to go for a run mid week but I had to give up at 4 miles,totally frustrated over it. I rested from then on so I'm going to give it a go this evening. Fingers Crossed!0 -

A big problem I found running in the heat is that my feet are larger than normal and swell up even more in races which really hurts. My runners are my normal shoe size so I will be buying a larger pair, a half or one size up. Well done James, a super time. And to everyone else, great times and pb's all round, even though the course was not even the full length.0 -

Knee was very sore after last weeks 9 mile lsr so made the decision to completely rest it ahead of the 5 mile and then to take it very easy over that. Managed to stick to the first part of the plan but my competitive streak took over in the race. Finished in 40:32 for the 4.88 so that works out to 41:16. Absolutely chuffed with that as my prep could not have been worse (had only been out twice in the 3.5 weeks previous to the race) and my best estimate from McMillan was 42:11 based on a time when I was running much more regularly
The positives:
1) Delighted with the time
2) Really enjoyed the race atmosphere and overall great to get back into it
The Negatives
1) Really really pissed off about that short race. Honestly cannot believe it happened in such a high profile race. That’s what we’re paying the money for no? Not like I’m a pro or anything but as one of the other posters said I don’t want to start to answer the question about my 5 mile pb with the words “well, its like this….”. Sod that 41:16 it is – no buts…
2) Knee was a little bit tender directly after the race (but encouragingly not during or at all the next day) – will have to really mind it now for a while…0 -

Curl52|3|22.7|145| Finally got my garmin watch this week and realised that I had been getting my mileage slightly incorrect so disappointed by that. Only managed 3 sessions aswell but got managed LSR of 10miles, tough tho.|
ilovetorun|1|4|90|Desperate week for me|
James Howlett|3|20|83| Only 3 sessions inc one LSR and the Irish Runner 5mile. Managed the Race in 32:41 which would have been a PB but won’t be after the 4.9 revelation. Ah well it tells me that I’m still in and around my best anyhow.|

corked|5|25.7|50.3| This week was my first week of the training plan, pushed it a bit harder as I want to be on form for the Boston Scientific Half in Clonmel on August 15th. was on 8.5min miles for my short runs but my LSR (9.5mile) was on 10min mile - really need to increase that speed but happy with the distance |

Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Missed Session
Wednesday: Circuit Training
Thursday: Missed session
Friday: Rested - could have trained but didnt want to the day before the race
Saturday:
Irish Runner 4.9 mile in 41:44. Rerally enjoyed it and felt good all the way around. Knee was giving me slight trouble around the back of the course but really enjoyed it
Sunday:
5 mile recovery run
Tried to keep it as slow as I could. Was really feeling some pain in the first mile and on mile 4 going up the hill I felt a good bit of pain in my right knee (IT Band i think) so slowed to a walk and resumed at the top of the hill as I didnt want to do more damage.
Even though I missed half the sessions this week I'm sticking with the schedule as I need my contingency week in September.
I think my MHR then is 192 based on my "sprint" finish on Saturday so will use this to plan my mid week runs and see how it goes.
Bit of pain still in my knee and foot so going to train on the track this week with circuit training on Wednesday and LSR on the road then as normal and see how it goes.
Discussion Topic:
I've learned in the half marathon that you are not going to finish in style unless you put in the training.
I've learned its not just about getting to the top of the hill but carrying on after it, which is a mental thing I've managed to overcome I think.
I've learned people will never go in to the correct wave/zone so traffic negotiation will be a skill in itself
I've learned that with training your times really will improve
I've learned my MHR is 192 I think0 -

8ofSpades|2|10|70.25|+1 circuit, unintentional taper for me before the 5 mile. Instead of hitting the 4 scheduled sessions I've dropped to 2, badly need to sort that out. Delighted with the *5* mile time of 41:44|
D Chief|3|16|45.75|Knee very sore this week, so missed second 3 mile run. Did nothing Thur, Fri or Sat. Then completed 9 miles on Sunday evening. Felt knee during run but is ok today.|
digger2d2|4|20|102|36:38 on Saturday but using daymobrew's 'short race' calculator it comes out at 37:18, very happy with my run all the same|
