Yesterday was a big day for me, I awoke in my new apartment in Terenure following a protracted marriage separation which really started 6 years ago and finally got sorted.....So, off I went for a recovery run after my 20 mile the other day.....Headed up and did laps of Bushy at 7.30 am, it was really nice:)

Saturday 8.1 Miles @ 9:17 pace

This morning....I was determined to hit the 50 mile mark for the week so despite a 'big' day out at the match yesterday and a fantastic afternoon and evening I headed out....

4.3 Miles at 9:27 pace

Total weekly mileage 50.77

Well done Dad, you've silenced Meno there!

Not sure yet re; Sunday.... It might be a Saturday long run for me

Track session in UCD on Tuesday with the group, very interesting experience. Intended doing circa 7 min/mile laps 6 x 400 metres but as usual changed my mind:eek: Started with a 6:40 and kept going lower, second last lap was at 5:14 pace and the final one at 5:11 pace and a 77 second lap which was pretty good...Definitely some reasonable speed in the legs.

4.1 Miles

Wednesday, had a run in the park, hamstrings were a little tight but that was due to the track session and non use of the stick after.

8 Miles at 8:33 pace

:eek: Christ dad, didn't realise you were going that quick. That's some going.

Are you doing the Leixlip 5K? with that speed you'll be easily under 20 minutes.

Are you doing Donore as well, cos Claralara is doing it ?

Nope

She's not the boss of me...

Let me know re: Sunday but if you're doing a speed session with UCD with the lads, i'll pass it to one of them if you wish.

Are you doing any races before cork? You really should put that speed to good use and set a nice few PB's...

I won't be in the Park on Sunday but likely to do the track session again on Tuesday so it would be great if you'd pass it on to one of the lads...Thanks

None planned, I know Donore is a possibility but it's close enough to the Cork Maratahon.....

For a 5k you should be recovered. though running a race the week before your goal marathon is not ideal. With you just moving to terenure, you should consider the Sportsworld 5 miler next sunday. T'is just on your doorstep.

That's the 15th is it?

They've got Cocaine in them Father.......Oh no, I mean raisins.....:D

Yep, the 15th at 10am
And since you're in Terenure already you can enter in the shop, and save the booking fee. So really, it would be costing you more not to run.

Yep, Really flat, fast course. Starts up at St pauls school in Greenhills.

Ha, let's see him run a sub 30 5 mile with 20 miles in the legs from the day before.

Sure, digger can run his 20 on the thursday or the friday, then he should be grand.

I'll probably be able to do the full 20-22 with you in the park that day as i need to keep the endurance up for cork pacing.

Smashin! Are you still pacing 4?

Likely, or possibly 3:45. But due to the lack of response from the organisers I may soon have to commit to RQ's relay.
