    6 weeks in, I'm happy with how it is going. Still no clue about pace, I really just run as I feel.

    [QUOTE=
    And the discussion topic for this week - we are 1/3 of the way though. How are you finding things so far overall? Any questions? Has anything come up for you that you wouldn't have picked up on otherwise?[/QUOTE]

    My only problem at the moment is finding a good long stretch of road where the motorists don't try to kill me for my longer runs,I ran from Maynooth through Dunboyne to Clonsilla on Saturday and had my life flash before me about 100 times along the way. Really enjoyed the run though:D

    Have you tried running along the canal? I think there was a thread in the main forum about canal runs in that area...

    Thanks Ray - I thought about it but i prefer running on the road plus it will better prepare my knees and ankles for the long runs. I'm going to work a loop up around the industrial estates north of Blanchardstown but from my house up and back only gives me 13 miles and I don't want to cover the same ground twice on one run if that makes sense. Maybe if I explain myself to the Gardai they'll close off the M3 for me for a few hours each week;)

    That's a busy old road all right. Have you thought of running towards Kilcock and then on the old N4 towards Longwood/Enfield?

    Right so I need to say a couple things here lol...There are ppl from the Kilcock/Maynooth area on this!! Huh who knew... I am from Kilcock!

    Second, Mr. Slow... I woud advise you NOT to run the Maynooth to Kilcock road if you value your life. I did it a couple years back and nearly got killed.... its a very dangerous road. Now a good road/circuit to do is the Maynooth/Intel/Celbridge circuit..... Running from maynooth to Intel then turning right at the round about and crossing over the flyovers etc and then turning right at apple green petrol station and heading back from maynooth by crofts. Its about 8 miles in the circuit (give or take) and for your long LSR you could do one and add a bit on

    And I have to get into the habit of carrying water with me...Did an 8 mile last thursday which screwed me for the weekend...Was still feeling the effects on Sunday!!! and also I have found I need a training buddy cuz the long runs I am beginning to struggle with when running on my own!

    I am happy with this week though I upped my weekly mileage by too much. The lsr went well, I carried a bottle with me which I don't like but I like even less being really thirsty. And it paid off as I felt good after it, except for my knees, which started to really bug me on the last mile. To mrslow or anyone else, look after you knees, if they go, it is over. Run on soft ground as much as possible and take coming down hills gently. I never had any injuries till I ran the half marathon in Connemara in April where I bounded down the hills really fast and they've never been the same since. frown.gif

    That's a busy old road all right. Have you thought of running towards Kilcock and then on the old N4 towards Longwood/Enfield?

    I'm not familiar with that road but I'll check it out, thanks!

    Thanks Perkina, I'll look into that. I bought a two bottle holder with pouch and it's great. I'm sure we could get a few bodies together towards the end of training for a group LSR?


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    ^ Quite a good idea actually - if there are a few of you in the same area (at a similar sort of pace), it is well worthwhile meeting up to do your LSR together, if nothing else, it's a bit of extra motivation. :)

    Training is going really well at the moment. I'm beginning to believe that I can do this! Funnily, Tuesday's 3 mile run always seems the toughest of the week.

    I'm finding some of the midweek runs tougher than the weekend LSR's. I find it easier to run on a route I haven't used before at the weekend, must be something with having lots of new sights to distract me.

    1/3 of the way in and the feeling is good. The actual goal of training for a marathon is wild. Great tp tell folk when running or just chatting!
    Found the step up to 12 miles tough but the body was maybe not in great shape to start with. Will take care of it this week before 13 mile LSR next weekend.

    My longest run yet! 12 miles and a happy but rain sodden rofno. Aerobically I was under no stress during run but legs & hips were tired & sore for last mile or so. Still, delighted I didn't collaspe in a heap.

    This weeks discovery is that I can remove technical T-shirt, squeeze out the rainwater and put it back on without breaking stride.

    My only problem at the moment is finding a good long stretch of road where the motorists don't try to kill me for my longer runs,I ran from Maynooth through Dunboyne to Clonsilla on Saturday and had my life flash before me about 100 times along the way. Really enjoyed the run though:D

    Hate this too - did my LSR fri morning to avoid traffic on the country roads, nearly got hot by a bread van on mile 13! I would'nt mind if it were mile 1 but when i had only another mile to do! :D

    I used a gel for the first time during my 14 mile LSR and found it really beneficial. The taste was yuk and the sensation taking it was weird but it really spurred me on. Def need water to wash it down! I think I got the hydration right as well as I went out to run 13 miles and threw in an extra mile for good measure :D I can now actually see myself crossing the finishing line ;)
