Wednesday April 27th
45 min tempo run
Was hoping to keep the middle 25 under 9 min pace and if i could maybe keep going for 30 mins (that didn't happen)
distance 5m avg pace 9.03
First 10 mins @ 9.07 (this was probably a bit too fast??)
next 25 mins @ 8.49
last 10 mins @ 9.39
Happy with this run. Was hot out there probably not a good idea to go running at mid day. I like these tempo runs 0 -
Thursday April 28th
Decided to go to Ardgillian and do some hill reps. But when we (yep the sister is talking to me again) got there time was running out. So we decided we would do a 3 mile loop of the park instead. We headed down by the playground and went down the mountain and headed right over to the far side of the park and went up the "easy" hill :rolleyes: Came back down the hill and passed by the castle and up the middle hill to finish.
3.2miles in 34.29 avg pace 10.46
Supposed to strength too but it took all my strength to get up those hills so i am saying job done for today 0 -

Saturday April 30th
LSR today
14m in 2.24 Avg pace 10.17
Went into the Phoneix Park today. I met up with jcsmum to do the 14m, she had already done 7m at that stage. A lovely run and thanks to jcsmum discovered a couple of ways to add miles onto the loop... thanks for that. Stopped off at the car after about an hour for a gel and some water and kept going. Kept a steady pace all the way around. The weather was great running weather... well for me it was... cloudy and cool and a bit of drizzle to keep us cool at one point. The last mile we really picked up the pace and did it in 8.52 :eek: thats according to the Garmin... now it could be lying to me... OR maybe i am getting faster
It was lovely to run with jcsmum made time fly past and she looked as fresh as a daisy at the end of her 21miles. Lovely to meet you jcsmum.0 -

Hill Time!
Time to hit the hills of Ardgillan again and met up with Nules for a good session.
Usual 1.76 miles warmup on the "undulating" route and then over to the hill for the reps. Last time we met up there we did 5 and tonight we upped that to 8 (garmin count was 8 Nules so all good!). Cool down run back to the cars with a little run around car park to make it to 3.5 miles and we even stretched after!!
Enjoyed this session and quad held up well - tough going but def worth it.
As above stole shazs log for tonight as i forgot to press start and then stop on my garmin :rolleyes:
This was tough alright..... my quad is fine though
thanks shaz0 -

3 miles in 26.45 avg pace 8.53
Was delighted with this run... in the end. wasn't looking forward to it at all my bum was in bits after last nights hill reps. This is the fastest i have ever run 3 miles. So i am very happy.
Nice going girl, well done. My legs are tired after last night too - good sign I suppose!
Now we just need to add 10.1 more miles at this pace :eek: :eek:...no bother to us!0 -

Saturday May 7th
LSR
Off into the park to to maybe 11/12m. Met up with Shaz, Aimman, Digger, Jcsmum, Pistol and Claralara.
Was great to run with a group as i haven't done that before. We were brought on a running tour of Dublin and was enjoying it and then....... the hill. I made it up it but my god i thought was chest was going to explode Took me a while to get back into it again. The pace was faster than what i would normally run at... i think i did ok at keeping up, i felt ok.
I was heading back to the car and was going to stop at 11.2 but decided i would go to 11.5 but then my arm was twisted to just do the 12 by claralara.
I really enjoyed this run and have to say i was happy with my pace.
So... 12miles in 1:56:50 @ 9.43... now if only i can go a bit faster next week maybe.... just maybe i mite get sub 2.... maybe!!!!!:D
Was lovely to run with you guys.... well behind some of you really and good to meet you all too 0 -

You did great this morning and a sub 2 is definitely on the cards for you next weekend. At least there won't be any crazy hills on that run :rolleyes:
Like you though, the pace at times was really tough going but we survived, that's the main thing.0 -
