Hey Nules, just wondering if you fancy a run in the Wicklow mountains. Just the two of us? We'll leave the phones behind and escape it all.

Going to distance myself from this conversation as I'm sure this exchange could be used in a trial as evidence of intent :pac:. it wasn't me....

The fact you slept for two hrs goes to show the body was tired trying to fight something off. Good on ya being sensible. You'll be fighting fit come Sunday!

I am never running again
I am not even going to bother with a report because i don't want to relive that heap of s**te of a day 2:06:42. If you want to know how to train to run slower send me a pm Shocking bad mood and shaz got the brunt of it coming home in the car... sorry about that I just lost it at mile 4. Legs dead. I am going to stick with the yoga... at least i am improving at that

Conditions were very tough out there, the wind, the hailstones, the cold.
Every race I run I question my sanity, races hurt, I can't say I've ever enjoyed one.
Maybe take a break from races for a while and just run for the joy of running (oh, and the company!:))

Oh such wise advice K - Nules does this sound familiar

Everybody has their off days and rubbish races, today unfort was one of those. You are being way too hard on yourself and onwards and upwards.

BTW you left out the part where you drove through potholes on purpose to scald me with the coffee . Seriously ta for the lift and "good" company

red face dave

No harm Nules plenty more races. Take a few days off and chill out. Have a big glass of wine and forget about it.

Its only a race. Bad day at the races

alitoast

You said it yourself Nules Will give it my best shot anyway And sure there is always another half around the corner

Not too worry, things didnt go my way either Nules, but chin up and move on to the next one.

Welcome to my world! This is me for every race... get used to it, glad I'm not the only one, but I can guarantee, come the next couple of days and you first of all feel guilty for not running, then start go go into cold turkey for not running, then head out for a little run to stop the guilty voices in your head and realise that you enjoy running again, you'll be back on track again.

You had more opportunities to back out and stop then you could shake a stick at, but you didnt... thats the importantt key Nules,

Younganne

Ah Nules, im really disappointed for you and i know you said theres always another race but i feel your disappointment & frustration.

You will eventually get your sub 2 but it just wasn't meant to be today. You still ran a half marathon in a great time and kept going to the end even though you knew your sub 2 was gone and you had cramps from mile 4...fair play for not throwing in the towel.

Remember you were also under the weather this week...head up, few days off and then back to your plan.

I'm really disappointed i didn't manage to see you today, but we will catch up again soon.

littlebug

I think I have felt like that after nearly every race I've ever done I think 2.06 is great!
Sounds like a tough one though. Plenty more on the calendar....;)

chinguetti

You'll get it but it may take some time. Have a think about what went wrong and anything that you can change, do. If you're not well beforehand, its in the lap of the Gods but the sub 2 is there, it may take a bit of time but will be worth it in the end.

Chin up Nules, you'll do it next time!
