Thanks, and the what now?

I was referring to the 63 candles on your cake - it can be dangerous when you start hitting those numbers! Don't go letting you imagination run riot on you!

Go and have a sh1te for yourself, I'm a mere child :cool:

Mr Slow

10.84 miles in 1:47:39 , a nice slow one in moderately crappy conditions. Was very disappointed to see Claralara handle her 18 miles+ so well, I was hoping for ammunition to slag her with but the wagon pulled off an impressive run just to spite me.:D

Why? What do you expect this would achieve? And should I have said sh1te before, during or after the marathon?!

Woop woop!! Thanks for the support and motivation today old man. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll walk myself into some good material for you in the near future for you. Although if you're as good as you think you are, you shouldn't need my help to source your ammunition!

Most recently it came from the sky, and landed on your face :pac:

Building the suspense eh?, Ah sure you'll show up one of these days and I'll know you weren't just a figment of my glycogen depleted post marathon imagination.:P

You won't fit. You haven't seen that lardar5e in running tights yet... He doesn't even take time out from eating to run anymore - wouldn't be surprised if he found a belt with a big mac pocket.

Perkina3

Booooo! :P

S'craic lad! :P

Speak for yourself saddlebags, I'm not the one with the large Big Mac meal and 3 happy meals on the side.:cool:

Mr Slow

What's rule no.1? Don't go out too fast, what did I do? Just that.

Raced out the door,didn't warm up properly,after 1.1 miles decided to try and push myself, the idea was to run 5 miles at 7:20

Ran 2.75 miles @ avge pace 7:25, my stomach muscles got tighter and tighter until I had to stop and trot the 1.6 miles home in great discomfort @ 9 min mile pace

Lesson learned......again!

I'm starting to think I'm dreaming if I think I'll get near 75 mins in Mallow, watch this space.

RacoonQueen

I wouldn't worry too much about training times. You're good for 75 minutes IMO. I ran just over 76 for 9.8 miles in Cork in June without doing anything/much under 8 minutes in training in the weeks/probably months leading up to it

You'll smash 75.

Perkina3

Dude,

You will be fine... remember on race day you gotta knock a couple minutes off your training time purely cuz of the day thats in it.....

Went out hard for a run last night....reckon I was doing a km in bout 4 minutes or 4.10.....was happy enough with that

Thanks Missus, what are you planning to run Mallow in?

claralara

Lessons all round this week! Remains to be seen whether said lessons will impact on future behaviour however...:rolleyes:

You better hit 75 in Mallow - I'm not listening to you complain about how much of a failure on a rammed train home from Cork. I listen to that enough!

Plus you all need to be at the finish line cheering and waiting to feed, water and stretcher me away! You should even have time for a shower and a swifty before coming back to collect me.

Perkina3

Yeah I second Clara...wouldn't want to be on that train either :P...

Though if you don't I will come looking for ya Mr. Slow:cool:

*Just some friendly advice from your DCM'10 buddy*:D:D:D

D'ya think? We'll pick a pub before the race and that's where you'll find us! You're a big girl:D, you'll manage!

Mr Slow

Think I'm suffering from overtraining/physical meltdown, can't shake this washed out feeling so I'm gonna take the weekend and try rest up a bit with 2 lunatic children working against me and get back into it on Monday in earnest.
