    Technically true! In order to keep his racing mojo though he must replenish his youth by taking a wench of ever decreasing age as he enters training for each marathon. Sub 4 is achieved with a sub 27, sub 3:30 requires a lot more energy and the required wench must be about 22. :D

    I have very little time on T'Interweb these days so here goes....

    The start - Nice weather, felt confident

    The Race - Set off at 8:50 pace, settled into 8:23 pace, met Vagga and did a 7:58 mile...Thanks Vagga :rolleyes: - Consolidated at 8:40 pace and kept it that way.... Got through the 16 mile mark which had been my issue in DCM and all was good although did feel tired, isolated and bored at 20.... Got toward the last half mile and I heard some sort of creature yell ''D-I-G-G-U-U-E-R-R-R'' and realised it was claralara avec rotten bloody knees, thanks again Vagga :D... She bounded along happily with me as she'd had a three hour rest, a coffee and multiple scones, Danish pastries etc. ---- Left her for dead as I set off on a 200 metre sprint to the finish.....

    The End - Absolutely delighted with my time in what I felt was a conservatively run race for me....Roll on DCM

    It was a real 'I'll just lash down some crap to fill the void' report!

    Yes, yes, I know the race report was crap and my 'followers' expect a higher level of literary originality from my virtual pen but needs must.

    Anyhoo, having churned out almost 50 miles the week of/after the Marathon, I eased off a little last week and this week I've just done 5.22 miles at 9:13 pace on Wednesday and yesterday evening I did 5 miles in Marlay with a mixture of speeds...Circa 4.45 miles at an average pace of 7:59 and .55 of a mile at 6:08 pace (Thanks Meno :eek:).

    Legs feel a little heavy and tired so I'm just happy to keep them ticking over until I start the DCM 18 week schedule which may contain some extreme mileage:eek: Will see some of you on Saturday, plans for Dunshaughlin remain fluid although I'll most likely be a spectator! I've also been roped into the Clontarf Half but plan on using it as a training run and will have some fun messing with the heads of people in the group mrslow is pacing....;)

    You see the sea is the obvious place to direct the wayward and annoying folk but i never go for the obvious.

    Thursday - 9 at 8:54 pace - Total 9 Miles

    Saturday - 4 mile recovery due today with 12 tomorrow although I'll be doing the Clontarf half as a training run to see how good mr slow paces on his first official outing with me causing trouble for him!;)

    Hi all,

    My recent running has been as sporadic as my Internet access. However, just to report in that despite zero prep, I managed a new PB on Saturday in the 5 Mile of 34:06. A great tussle was had with mr slow right until the death where we crossed the line like a married couple!! - I'm pacing the Midlands half with Spaghetti on the Bank Holiday Monday if anyone wants to break the 2 hour Mark or maybe 1:40 knowing my pacing ;)
