Despite reservations about the condition of my legs at the moment I went ahead and met up with Meno, Pistol, mrslow and mrslow's pal in the park this morning. I was due a 17 mile run but the lads had 20 on their minds. I decided to do 20 if I could. Pace began at an easy 9:54 which suited me just fine for a change... We slowly wound the pace up to 9:16 at the 16 mile mark which is where I decided a sub 9 min/mile 20 mile run would stand to me so I upped the pace hitting 7:30 approx for the last 4 miles.
We ran up Knockmaroon Hill at about 10 miles and finished up the Kyber so all in all I was very happy with the 20 miles at 8:55 pace. No way I would have done 20 on my own today and as usual I enjoyed the banter and the sh1te talk (thanks Meno) 0 -
So, according to P&D this is a step-back week including Monday and Tuesday as rest. Following this would make sense as I was to do 17 the weekend just gone at about 9.30 pace but I did 20 at 8:55. Anyway, I did what I was told on Monday but was just itching to get out last night. I did 8.61 at 8:59 pace.....This run felt great and very easy despite the awful weather, I'm still carrying the odd little niggle from Sunday's 20 miler but all seems back on track!

Saturday morning at 6.30 I awoke still feeling the effects of the man flu but itching to run...Off I went at 7 AM, did about 7.5 miles at 9.30 pace and felt absolutely wrecked. Although I did feel considerably better on Sunday I decided not to run.
I woke up yesterday feeling crap, nose running more than Meno:D...... Decided I needed to run in any event so went out yesterday evening and did 6.3 ish,,, First 2 miles at 9.45, next 2 at 8.45 and the last 2 at 7.45 approximately. Got a nasty headache straight after though.... I'm hoping the runny nose etc. (sounds lovely) is flushing out the last of the dose or there'll be no PB for me on Saturday

Not this time Dude, plan is to run 2 miles tonight and make a decision as to whether I'll run at all tomorrow! More worrying is that I've now missed a good chunk of my 12 week DCM plan due to this bout of man flu. Best case scenario is a training run at the half tomorrow followed by 6 weeks of illness free training from Monday!Don't believe you! :cool:
You were right not to, I didn't even do the 2 miles tonight 0 -
Saturday morning, got up early to eat something, I felt absolutely awful and if I hadn't agreed to pace claralara I'd have gladly stayed in bed until the rugby.
I decided to try something a little different so stuck the Brooks ST Racers on, 5 miles was the longest run I'd done in them prior to Saturday.... We set off at a steady pace, weaving our way through yet more Monster Munchies and settled at around 9 min per mile pace.
All was good despite claralara being very very quiet (usually not a good sign;)) and the race was uneventful. We were at 8:57 pace until about the 8 mile mark which is when CL started to struggle. She had had a heavy cold (but not as heavy as mine) over the last couple of weeks and although I was aware of this I knew she still had a chance of a PB in her. Mile 10 and she started to fall back, with a number of choice words of encouragement I got her back on my shoulder and continued to cajole her although we'd slipped to 9:04 pace. In fairness to her (and despite her telling me to Fup Off etc.) she knuckled down and gave all she had to get back to 9:02 pace, up the final hill and into the straight and I knew we were close to that PB, I tried again to squeeze every last bit out of her in those last 400 metres and the watch read 9:01 as we crossed the line. That should have given her a PB by 40 seconds but it looks like the course was long by .1...........??
and the times ended up as 1:59:08/09
I found the race far easier than I'd thought based on how I felt although wearing the ST Racers has left me with sore quads....Glad I didn't wear them for a 1:39 attempt:eek:0 -

That's always the case in the Dublin half, no doubt due to crowds and having to run around people. You'll only get close to 13.1 in a smaller half where you can run the racing line without congestion.0
