1mile easy, 8x1 min hills 1 mile easy
Tough but weirdly enjoyable. Hill reps at 10k pace so based this on my 5 mile time which mc millian gave me as 8:40.... soo reps went like this :rolleyes: 8:51, 7:47, 8:09, 8:11, 8:31, 8:07, 8:23 and 7:48(felt like puking after this one
). So what have i learned from todays session? I am s**t at pacing 
I felt i could do better than the 8:40 mc millian said. But maybe i supposed to do them at that pace. The reps felt ok..ish up to about 40 seconds and then it was tough. But ecoli said it was meant to be like that... i am sure i read that somewhere :rolleyes:

13.1 miles in 2:08:41 pace 9:49
Met up with sunflowerro in the park we were supposed to be a threesome but the 3rd person is not long out of bed apparently
. I wasn't sure how the legs would be after yesterdays session they were fine. It was great to have the company for 7 miles and by the time i got back to the car to get some water i only had 4.5 miles left. Felt pretty good on this run. Pace for last 4.5 was 9:30. Those gels really do work 0 -

1 mile easy, 8x400m @ 5 mile Race pace w / 1 min , 1 mile easy
Have to say i found these tough. A bit of a wind where i do these. might explain why the pace is all over the place or that could just be me :rolleyes: Splits were 7:31 :eek: 8:18 8:09 8:18 8:10 8:23 8:00 8:11. Some of my recoveries were longer than a minute too. My 5 mile race pace from Raheny was 8:40 but thought it no harm to push it a bit. Thank god they are done

13.1 miles in 2:09 pace 9:54
Started off with the OT run first. My plan was to run it at half marathon pace which i did 9:02 pace. Stopped after it for a breather and to cheer my sis to the finish.... nice sprint finish from her. She was chuffed with herself. have her thinking about a 10k race now. Then cheered on mammy nules to the finish. She ran/walked it and did great too. I am sure i will be on the telly next week as i was side by side with one of the leaders and wanted to finish before him... keep an eye out for me i am the one in the pink with a shocking determined look on my face
After the excitement of the above myself and shaz plodded on. I have to say i found this a total b1tch of a run. My legs were like lead and so many times i was about to stop. There was very little chatting too. That bloody wind was a nightmare. I left shaz off to go back to the car and i plodded on. I was going to just do the 12 but decided sure do 12.5 and by then would have been silly not to round it up to 13.1. Awful run though :rolleyes:0 -

Good run Nules. Think that's the quietest we've ever been on a run. It does prove the theory tho that shutting up does not make us run quicker!!! I know. I could barely breathe let alone chat
Of course i was jostlingWell done there tv superstar!!! Although I hope you weren't jostling others coming up to the finish line!!! Pity you donated your boards running shirt to charity! You could have worn that and really showed off.
Well done on The mileage, sub 2 for definite....no pressure. I want to be famous. After saturdays outing i am not so sure of a sub2 :eek:
He he do. I just hope they haven't cut me nowGreat running on Saturday! I'll keep my eyes peeled for you on OT 0 -
