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

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

Mr Slow

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.

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

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::)

I can dream...:D

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:

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.

Best of luck with the 12 week taper - TRUST NOTHING!

My log title reflects in no way, shape or form what the goal of my current training is...:D

If there were no change, there'd be no butterflies!

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.
