    Wed Jan 4th

    Cycle

    Went to the gym for this and did a tough interval session on the stationary bike. Legs like jelly afterwards.

    20km

    Run

    Needed to get a short run in for Jantastic to bring my weekly totals up to 4 runs. So hopped on the treadmill after bike with the intention of doing the minimum one mile. Some skinny poser with the full make-up and matching gym outfit hopped on at the same time beside me so ended up doing 2 to make sure I outlasted her...:rolleyes:

    2 Miles - 20 mins

    Strength and stretching stuff after

    Sat Jan 7th

    Hill Repeats

    Off to the park with Nules this morning for a hills session. Some amount of people out running in the park this morn which was great to see.

    Anyway after a 1+ mile warm-up, it was time to hit the hills. Session was as follows 3 x 300m and 5 x 200m with a recovery jog down in between. Good session although the 200's were probably too easy so need to up the number of 300's next week.
    Cooldown run back up the Kyber to the car to wrap the session up and round up the mileage.

    Distance: 4.5 miles
    Time: 43:07
    Avg Pace: 09:34

    Good running there Shaz. We headed down the Kyber shortly after 10 and back up around 12. Some crowd around the car park alright.

    Sun Jan 8th

    Long Run

    Met up with the gang in the park this morn. First few miles I felt great and was really enjoying it and then at about mile 5 going back up chesterfield, it was like a switch flicked and I was really struggling. Legs felt tired probably after yesterdays session and just couldn't get into a rhythm. Everyone seemed to be struggling at this point but we continued on to finish out the planned mileage. Of course we had to watch jcsmum doing her laps of the car park - fair play to you on that mileage :)
    Toughest run I've had in a while I will admit but good to get used to running on tired legs.

    Plan: 8.5
    Actual: 8.53
    Time: 1:25:39
    Avg Pace: 10:02

    I hate that part of the park. Have a look at the profile though and you might be surprised how uphill it is compared to how it looks.

    Any races planned yet?

    Hey Shaz, great running today. Was only thinking that the last time I ran with you was way back in around July. Too long! You were flying along from the word go. Bring on next wkd :)

    :eek: I went and had a look there P, you're right and I didn't realise it dragged like that. No excuse though really for the bad form there :rolleyes:

    Cheers

    Not sure on the cycling yet, will look out for a few of the smaller distance sportifs to dip my toe into the cycling events or maybe a duathlon.

    As for running, Raheny prob the next one up but haven't done a race in ages so that'll be more about getting back into that frame of mind. Then a half in May which is tbd but probably Limerick as I heard the pacers are good :D

    Aye I know it's been an age since I was out running with you, hopefully plenty to come in 2012. Good to see you on the logs.
