Park for 20 at the weekend perhaps?

That's the plan. Can't run on Saturday so I'm aiming for Sunday.

Another four early morning miles today. I feel like a complete slacker. Lsr definitely on the cards for the weekend. Will be interested to see if I can manage it.

The miles you put into the legs don't just evaporate, Sunday will be no problem to ya!

5 miles this morning. Such short runs I know, not ideal for marathon training. The only this is that they are all at a decent pace, surely that has got to count for something!

jcsmum · 02-10-2011 2:12pm

21 miles this morning so thrilled with that. Pace of 9'15. Had the company of Mr not slow for the first 4 and pistol until about 15. Was very determined at that stage to get to 21 as the long runs have been lacking from my training.

Really happy with the run and the aftermath, everything feels good.

Well done this morning, great solid run for you! Brilliant confidence booster

Well done yesterday morning. You were flying when I left you. Knew the last 6 would be no problem to you.

RubyK · 03-10-2011 10:20am

Great work yesterday jcsmum! You must be delighted

W.B. Yeats · 03-10-2011 6:25pm

Well done
21 miles- I feel sick at the thought of it

shazkea · 05-10-2011 7:16pm

Great running and as the guys said a good confidence booster.

jcsmum · 07-10-2011 4:05pm

Just an update, three early morning runs this week, 4, 5 and 5. Short but quick enough. I have only used my garmin on lsr which suits me just fine.
Again I know the distance for these runs leaves a lot to be desired, but everything feels good and confidence is ok too.
Looking forward to the 18 in the am.

pistol_75 · 07-10-2011 4:18pm

Hope you plan on taking it nice and handy in the morning. My legs are shot :eek:

Well somehow we all ended up at garda HQ this morning and set off in two groups. Note to self, never try to pace a group again. I was rubbish. I was either at 8'50 or 9'50 pace.
Bottom line, I got my 18 miles in and I think the garmin read 9'25 pace.

Also when I got back to the car, it took me a good 5 minutes to get out of the parking spot. I was mortified that I might still be there when the 20 milers would get back!

tHE vAGGABOND · 08-10-2011 6:35pm

You were fine, thanks a million and great to see you again this morning

Maybe see you next week, but if I dont, good luck over next few weeks

Well done K you are flying it. Pacer next year for DCM

DigiJem · 08-10-2011 8:55pm

Good running today, pace was spot on. Enjoy the taper!

jcsmum · 09-10-2011 4:31pm

6 miles this afternoon in a blustery marlay park. I suppose this should have been a recovery run, but it wasn't. Pace was 8'35, time 51'35.

What's the target for DCM, you're obviously quite fresh after yesterday's 20. Sub 4, 3:55?
