Well done again on the week getting back into it. Great stuff. Ridiculous but great!
Enjoy the day off tomorrow.

30 mile weeks. You'll be grand.

Normal people don't train for Conn, Eamo looks like he's trying to break 5:30 this year.

More seriously Eamonn, savage training. I've done one or two 70 mile weeks, couldn't imagine going over that. What was your total time spent training this week?

Sorry RQ, I'll try harder next week, feck the Schedule. I'll get the 101 miles done by Wednseday and put my feet up for the rest of the week

And its only on the build up, should be up to 200 mpw by March, If you're not doing 80+ miles by now, there's no hope in Conn (joking )

I'll have to check the overall time and let you know later, but because of the slow pace, it would be a lot longer than you think.:rolleyes:

Lovely rest yesterday and greatly benefited. Noticable improvement in the legs today

Lunchtime Recovery 4.1M in 38:17 (9:19 pace)

Evening Run 6M in 54:51 (9:08 pace)
Although there wasnt must difference in pace overall between the two runs, I gradually picked up the pace as the miles passed in the evening run. The whole Skeletal Frame felt a lot more intact this evening (as opposed the rattling sensation all last week), allowing me to run with a more comfortable posture and tweak up the speed a bit more.

Total miles today 10.1M

I just want to take a long nap after reading your log, that mileage is unreal. Well done!
You make the rest of us look like we're dossing.

Ouch! All that gas and hot air, someone open a window.

In Cork for the next few days. Had a good run out the Model Farm Road and right through Ballincollig and came back down the neverending Carrigohane Road. Pace wasn't great today, spent too much time daydreaming about spicy chicken wings and surloin steak. Took much less time to eat it after the run, nyom

15M in 2.30

That used to be my regular training route a few years ago...the lighting on the footpath as you begin the 'straight rd' is shockingly poor and I often came very close to twisting an ankle on the side of the path. Hope you managed to run it in daylight??

I'll swap training plans with you. You seem to be doing better speeds then me

No, it was after 5, it was the first time I wore a hi vis jacket for a training run for the section of the Model Farm Road where the path runs out. The straight road is a dodgy path in the dark alright, worse with the bicycles wizzing past all the time

I'm still scarred from the Marathon in 2008 and 2009, where we had to run the whole lenght of the road. It's nice and flat, but with only 3 miles left to go in the race, it seems that City Council building never gets any nearer.:(

Thursday - AM 4M
was supposed to do 6M in the evening, but work got in the way.

Friday, Was supposed to do 12M, but after delays at work,got home from Cork too late to do any running.

Saturday
Was supposed to meet the boardsies in the park for 18M, but I woke up at 7am and because I missed the 12M yesterday, I got it in my head to drop over to Portumna for the WOI Marathon as an LSR. Scrambled my bits and pieces together and headed off.

Nothing major to report, ran a few quicker miles with jonny99 but after a loo pit stop, I didn't fancy upping the pace further to catch up (no offence jonny99, just didn't want to chance the extra burst in the legs with the extra miles ahead). Sauntered along casually with the odd stop at the car for drinks etc and finished in 4:29 which was grand cos I was aiming for 4:30 on the feet. Ran the extra 1M back to the car park to get into Ultra territory

Not a bad day, Got a longer LSR in then planned and completed marathon No. 31

27.2 miles for the day

jonny99

No worries, I bore myself sometimes:D.

Sunday morning, met up with Digijem, Sunflowerro. Jcsmum, and the fun runner Chenguetti. Legs were a bit stiff for the first mile but quickly loosened out and the whole run was enjoyable. after 7 miles, I had to stop off for a loo break at the bottom of the Upper Glen Road and has the challenge of upping the pace up the hill to catch up with the others.

Legs felt great after the run and had the now traditional laps around the car park to round up the miles.

10M in 1.33 (9:19 pace, Avg HR 148 82% max)

Miles for the week. 66.2

Don't worry Frank, it wasn't the same without you . Was a spur of the moment thing at 7am.

Think there's another one in Salthill on 28th if you want to get into an LSR weekend

If I'm not doing Raheny, I'll probably do this as well. We should be back in plenty of time for the free gargle
