6.23 Miles in 50:42, verage pace 8:08 min miles

My legs were stiff and unhappy throughout this run and I was glad to see the back of it. Won't get to run again til Monday where I'll be doing a decent LSR.

Mr Slow · 25-07-2011 2:27pm

Met Meno in the park for a medium lsr this morning, this felt way tougher than it should have, a combination of poor diet, lack of sleep and heat I suppose.

14.02 Miles in 1:59:14, average pace 8:29 min miles

That pace looks pretty good to me.

Ever since I decided to try and break away from heel striking I've been looking at safe means to do it, while deciding which route to take I've managed to convert to a mid foot land injury free. Chi Running is something that has now caught my eye and I employed a few form changes in tonight's run which I found immensely helpful. I won't bore you all with the details but I ran 10k tonight 23 seconds slower than my recent race time (which I know is a bit soft but still...) in the lashing rain relatively comfortably by applying a few small changes to my technique.:D

10k in 44:03 average pace 7:06 min miles.

RacoonQueen · 27-07-2011 10:35pm

What's your 10k time? 43:40? That's more than a 'bit' soft...

Did you enjoy your chicken fillet burger meal? Mine was lovely, though they were a bit scabby with the chips though...

There was feck all chips, very impressive chips though - good choice. The dogs seemed to enjoy the chicken fillet burger.

A weekend run in the middle of nowhere, literally! From Clonbur to Cong (set of The Quiet Man) and back via a trail road through the forest. This was very hard on the legs from the off and looking at the Garmin report I can see why, even the downhill bits felt uphill towards the end. Great training but with poor footing at times and the humidity in the forest it was a task more than a pleasure and I'll be keeping the pace down if I repeat it next week.

9.5 (Garmin took a while to connect) miles in 1:17:37 average pace 8:21 min miles

Mr Slow · 01-08-2011 9:55pm

Met up with a mate for a nice handy run, legs feeling much better now.

7.04 miles in 58:38 average pace 8:19 min miles.

Mr Slow · 03-08-2011 10:30pm

Felt wrecked starting this run and was even going to drop the LT session for this week for fear of not being able to complete it but it went better than expected.

2 mile w/u at 8:30 pace followed by 4 miles in 27:32 average pace 6:53 with a 2.44 mile w/d

Garmin Connect is painfully slow tonight so no link.

If you introduce me to the lad who supplies you with that juice that makes you lightening fast with feck all training, I'll fire the Garmin into the river!

Altho down where you live Chinquetti there are all kinds of gents selling all manner of powders and pills to solve problems [and maybe make you go faster!] :pac:

Met Meno and Claralara this morning for a pleasant run in the park.

15.35 miles in 2:27 average pace 9:35 min miles

digger2d2 · 05-08-2011 2:11pm

Good stuff... And claralara was sober on this occasion

Mr Slow · 08-08-2011 12:55pm

Met Meno in the park for a planned 15 x 9 min miles, however when I suggested this pace it was met with a childlike disappointment:P so we went a touch quicker.

15.04 miles in 2:04 average pace 8:26 min miles.

Legs felt pretty heavy towards the end of this and they really shouldn't have, I'll take it easy between now and Sunday's race.

What race are you doing on Sunday? You doing the Frank Duffy 10miler the weekend after?

I'm doing the Celbridge 5k, then I'm off on hols to Tenerife on Tuesday, I shall substitute Ryan's for the beach;)

Edit: What time are you hoping for in the 10 mile?

James Howlett · 08-08-2011 1:39pm

I managed 68:45 last year. If I can get just under 70 I will be v.happy but realistically this year it's looking like 72 - 75 minutes.

Enjoy the Holidays.

What are you hoping for in the 5k? Knowing you, probably sub 15 :rolleyes::)

Sub 20 missus, heading out at 6:20 pace and hanging on for dear life! I'll do well to get it but if you don't aim for outside what you think your reach is, you'll never make a leap.;)

Dublin Training begins with a 5k race on Sunday and a 10 day holiday in Tenerife

.

Running in 38c should be great training though......:eek:

average_runner · 10-08-2011 10:09am

Cellbridge 5k is a nice race, ideal for a pb.

Its actually an easier course than Enfield 5k, you will break 20 mins on this course.

You have used a generic title like mine and RQ's, one that works for everything you are training for.

Now you're gonna have to change it after October again.

Met up with a mate for a handy 9.22 miles in 1:24 average pace 9:08 min miles

As expected this felt nice and handy and I feel like I could go back out and do it again this minute. I think I'm finally realising the benefits to running slower, to copy a phrase from Meno's log, I've put in a lot of 'junk miles' in training in the past so going forward that's going to stop.
