Spaghetti's doing 15/16, I'm going to get a few miles done before he arrives.

Go easy on Spag Bol...He's exhibiting separation anxiety with Moanapause heading to King Conn......

Mr Slow

10.5 miles in 1:29:16

My quads were suffering a touch of DOMS from last nights run, day of rest tomorrow and the big 2 zero on Sunday, I'll sleep tonight.

Good run Dude....

Mr Slow

Met Spaghetti at 10 in Howth and after a short debate about parking we were off, the sun was splitting the stones and I was guzzling my Lucozade Sport from the off, he had mentioned a hill after 2 miles or so but I couldn't have imagined what he had in mind - 407 ft of a hill, that coupled with the heat put paid to my 20 mile plans and I was glad to get back to the car after 15.97 Miles in 2:26:42 when I got home my calf had tightened up dramatically, pulling a ligament across my knee :eek:, lots of Tiger balm and Grid rolling had it relieved, I'm going to have to start doing that everyday.

I told you it was Howth Hill during the week so u can't say you weren't aware of it. Tis the hell of the north side for the day thats in it:D

You'll be glad to know my right knee is like a balloon here at present so it wasn't all fun for me either.

Sorry to hear that Chief! Don't forget I'm a mere country boy and Howth Hill to me could have been a speed bump!

Just glad I didn't join you guys.

Whoever suggested running was a low cost sporting pursuit didn't have my biomechanics, my latest investment is 'The Stick'. It hurts like a mofo!:eek:

chinguetti

Whats a mofo so i can be down with the young folk? If its what i think it means, i'm shocked:eek:

Then you'd be right and accidentally 'Down with the young folk', might I remind you though, I'm not too far behind you :eek:

Don't worry, you're in our club given your history with deadly bathrooms and parked vans :P

Correction, the van was moving at the time

Mr Slow

Really enjoyed this run, between physio the other night, the stick, a barrell of Tiger Balm and some bruising my right calf muscle is behaving again. I used the stick on every accessible muscle I have (don't do it Digger) and was amazed at how limber I felt afterwards, I used it then before my run and from the first few steps I felt as if I was fully warmed up and everything was very fluid.

12 Miles in 1:38 average pace 8:11 min miles.

jcsmum

Thanks K, it's too easy, surely he'll let it go?

jcsmum

he'll let it go alright, straight into the gutter! :rolleyes:

chinguetti

All those double meanings must be making him go mad trying to write funny replies. I think thats what keeping him from replying.

That's a fantastic training run Dude....

@ mrslow, jcsmum and spagbol - I won't get drawn into your silly games.....(mrslow, hope all those muscles are well and truly kneaded, even the small one)

As I always say...I have a left leg, a right leg and a little something in between :D

Mr Slow

No run last night due to vicious case of man flu, taking every old and new remedy to shift it before tomorrow's LSR.:eek:

Mr Slow

In an effort to sweat out whatever this illness is that's killing me softly, I headed out into the warm sun and boy did I sweat :eek:

5 miles at 8:00 pace

Feel about 80% now as opposed to 10% this morning.

I was up and ready to go this morning, seriously, then I remembered the London marathon was on so I watched that instead. :pac:

If I said I believed you I'd give everyone else the impression that I'm gullible

Mr Slow

Had a great run this morning with really nice entertaining company, Digger was also there;), Didn't have any low spots to speak of, took a gel when we kicked off and another at 12 miles but other than a few brief moments of 'I hope this doesn't last' it was a solid run right through and I finished knowing there were a few more there for the taking if I wanted. :D:D:D:D:D:D

20.53 miles in 3:14:59 average pace 9:30
