Good runnin seres, did a similar session there, tempo cross country in the mud and up and down some rough hills, right hip was givin woeful trouble in warm up, but that pain disappeared pretty quick in the midst of a painful sub 6 min pace tempo session, survival is the aim of the game, one pain is replaced by another it seems!!!.
Seems like some times injuries can either just calm down of their own accord or be masked by adrenalin rush , hopefully yours is the former, and you wont be worse for wear after the hills.
Its a good sign if you got through the session.
Cross country national satrday for me, 12km , murder, and try not get lapped by JoeSweeney etc etc...

tempo cross coruntry sounds like absolute torture , best of look with the national xc next sat , if you do get lapped there will be an awful lot behind ya gettin lapped too so its wont seem so bad . Is that the senior nat xc by any chance ? i suppose athenry have a mens team put in ?

I wouldnt hedge any bets on me based on that preformance , have only done 2/3 runs over 6 miles since sep , so just want to get thru it . Did one of those ladies that your talkin bout have a baba a few weeks ago ?
What time have you on the cards for Craughwell ?

57 would be a great time , as for me well im just doin it for fun :rolleyes:

Friday/Sat : Rest , knew when i didnt push to get out friday that the next day would be a write off too but my main aim was to get 10miler in on sunday

Sunday : 10miles /82 min , started out slow bout 8.30 pace , decided to take it easy and push it out a little if i felt ok after mile 6/7 , back was at me a bit from bout miles 4/5 but still felt ok so increase pace to 7.30ish for last 3 miles , lots of stretching after , back was a bit tight .

Monday

33 min easy : bit of a niggle this morn but pretty much gone by lunch , recovery far better this week after long run .

Seres

Monday PM : Pilates

Tuesday : Easy 5 miles 42 min ,lunctime run , usual loop , hopefully will be up for a little tempo morro , will try maybe 2*10min @ 6.50 pace , no pressure :rolleyes:

Seres

Wednesday

warm 10min + 2*10min tempo + 2 min rest + 10min warm down

No Garmin , loaned away , found tempo one ok , kept form well and got stronger towards the end , tempo 2 got a bit further but form and breathing not as controlled , back held out well , stretching tonight .

Seres

thursday

pilates

friday

11miles /91min : first 8 miles were slow , think it is best for me to start slow for the back , picked it up from mile eight to 11, 7.54/7.41/7.30/7.16
stretched after but back has tightened up since , more stretching and should be ok morro
will def not get another run in this weekend , misjudged freetime ,if had realised this earlier would have run thursday , so only 4 this week , but got the long one in so cant complain

Seres

weekend : nothing , as assumed , no excuses, wouldnt have been able to get out training at all.

Monday lunchtime : easy 8.2km/42min30sec , pliates later

Seres

Tuesday

4.5miles with 3mile tempo : 7min/6.47/6.40 : pretty pleased with today , had planned to do 2*10 , then 20min then stuck on 3miles.Wanted to see how i could hold up for a few miles before Craughwell . Second half was tougher , it was an out and back route and the wind was strong on the way back . Back held out well , will give it a stretch in bout an hour.
I think i have decided on a target range for Craughwell , 65-70min .

I'd just run conservatively for the first 5 miles if I were you, then put the hammer down and empty the tank in the 2nd half. Always a good bet first race back.

Hi Seres
Have been avoiding boards for the last while as my training goals have kinda shifted (due a baby in May), but thought I'd have a little peek at what yer up to and I'm soooo jealous of your training! Despite the niggley injuries along the way your absolutely flying!
A few of the lads have started back cycling on Sundays if you're interested in a bit of cross training...
anyway, keep up the good work and hopefully see you soon

I Think that sounds like a good plan ,cheers will start off at bout 7min/mil pace. Im worried that the lenght of this race will kill me , normally at the end of a 10k im wiped so i cant imagine what i'll be like after 10miles .
So Eoin whats you own target ?

Im afraid Im out of Craughwell. Got results of MRI and the Doc told me no running for 3 more weeks. I'd have to agree with him, did 10miles yesterday and I think I may have set myself back a bit, heel not happy today. But Im sure 3 weeks will do the job, be back in time to run a howler for the National 10k.
