I have a funeral to attend in the morning, so went out and did my LSR today and very short notice [and next to no preparation!]
Did 31k on my own in 3 hours and 7 min odd - I was never someone to run around the car park to get up to a magic number, so happy with 19.whatever miles
Its never that fun to do the really long LSR's on your own, so glad to get it done and dusted. [Also with no pain at all, bar the expected heavy legs at the end]

First - Saturdays run had 364 meters of climbing [and 264 of descent!] - which is the most climbing meters of any run on my Garmin ever [Athlone 3/4 was 202 and Conn Half 218, one random Phoenix park run just topped them!]
A fantastic training session, and one I will do again
Second - That was still very much in the legs this morning at Mallow..
Been in West Cork for a few days, so did not travel down with boards gang, but met them all down there.
Did a very short and slow warm up, and the legs were like lead! Goal was sub-80 mins, and was going to go with the pacers. Bit I started too quickly [*gasp* for a change!] so never saw the 80 min pacers for a single second.
Ran pretty even pace over the race, but after 3 or 4 miles I was feeling pretty tired and rough, but stood with it. [Besides the fact I was in the middle of the cork countryside, so how else was I getting back to town if I did not run.:pac:
Around this 3 to 4 mile mark I saw RQ about 100m ahead of me, and there she remained for the rest of the race. When I slowed a bit so did she, and when I picked up pace near the end so did she :mad:
I was really tired near the end, but not spent, so everything except my legs could have kept going no problems - but alas my legs were in pain [again, tired pain, not injury pain]
Anyway, a great race, the course was a fraction harder than I was lead to believe [dont get me wrong, not too bad at all, but reading the boards about it, it sounded like 1 hill near the start and all flat or downhill from there!]
Anyway, finished in 1.17.15 - and I was very happy indeed with that. Its the first 10 mile race I have done believe it or not [where I have done 7 or 8 half's], so a PB by default
A handy week this week, with peak training milage for Paris :eek:0 -

Thanks
Paris is April 15th, so this weekend Im doing a 20, and then tapering off from there.
Not doing as dramatic a taper as I did for Dublin, as I think I did too little in that 3 weeks, learning from that and doing more of a P&D taper with slightly higher milage.0 -
Saturday:
10k easy in the morning in around an hour - up to Eamon Ceannat Park and around it a few times.
Sunday:
Quite possibly one of the best training runs ever. 20 miler too..
Ran to Clontarf to meet Meno, Aimann and cunavalos - from there ran the coast road to Howth, and the Martello Tower and back.
Amazing weather, great company
Miles 16-19 [8.30-8.40 min/mi] were somewhat close to marathon pace and we did a crazy last fast mile [7.39 min mile]
This week : 83k
