liamog|HH Inter 1|7|2|15.0 km| 232.1 km | PB'd in the DLR 10km with a time of 44:10, however that's where the good news end, picked up a niggly ankle injury, so have not ran since Wednesday. Swimming tonight and then back on the road tomorrow hopefully.
Micilín Muc|P&D:55-70|7|6|110km|665km|68 miles + last week's LSR on Monday = 83 miles in 7 days. Did 21-miler today - great for confidence! Double runs starting this week
RedRunner|HH Inter 1|7|1|3.51m|137m| Gentle run today to test injury. No Pain. Will ease back into running regularly this week.
Mike D|HH Inter 1|7|5|36m|195.1m|Missed my cross session again this week! Found the 14m lsr tough today but good to get through another week.
beeduybe|P&D:33-55|7|5|47m|297m|Toughest week of the plan so far. Hamstring was giving me trouble during LSR so cut short my 20 Mile LSR by a couple of miles.
Lizzy C|P&D -33-55|7|4|32.09m|253.3m|Week didn't go so well - missed mid week Long Run due to sore foot and had to take trip to physio. Also, did 11m on Sunday LSR instead of 18, because of foot. Think I'm on the mend though...
Skidrow|HH inter1|7|4|29m|184m|Missed 1 of the 7m runs due to groin strain, happy to get through 14m.
Younganne|Ecolis plan|7|5|32.03m|204.33m| 5 runs done, legs still not 100% so following Physio advice, but got through 15m LSR so very happy with that|
run44|HH inter1||5|27m|62mm|Happy to get 5 in this week
D Chief|P&D -55|7|5|78.2km|482.2km|Tight for time at the weekend but got it done by doing LSR on Saturday instead of Sunday. Have been neglecting cross training; Friday was first bike ride since starting this schedule.
Sideline warrior|HH Inter 1|5|5|28.5m|135.9m|Avg pace this week was 8.03 so am going to make concerted effort to slow down on the longer runs. Seems to be best practice. Am in France next week for 2 weeks and am concerned that due to heat it will be tough to get in runs especially LSRs. Will try early morning runs but am not an early runner!
seanie_m|HH Inter 1|5|6|30mi|127.5mi|Was so happy with how this week was going, then for whatever reason my knee just gave up on me early on in tonights LSR, only managed to do half of it. Going to have to take a few days off I fear to let it recover. Aside from that though, was a good week

jester1980|HH IINT 1|6|5|39.5|172.5|Better week last week, had a triathlon on Sunday so moved my LSR to Friday.this week has started off very well so happy with that.
Van.Bosch|P&D - 55|5|5|45.38M|172.44M|Good Week, got through all the runs and enjoyed the 16M with 10 @PMP.
Mr.Wiggle|RunRepublic sub3.30|4|6|63km|233km| A very good weeks training for me. Had Sundays sub43min 10km run in the back of my mind all week, worrying. Plotted a nice flatish course and came in at 41min16sec. Tired and sore, but happy
RedB|P&D - 55|7|5|50M|172M|LT+Endur Week, went to PT again with back and knee twinges. Really need to do stretches . Challenging week but happy I got through Long Run ok and without gels
Trigger26 |Club coach sub 3.30|7|7|43M|205M|Really stepped up this week with speed work and long run of 16 miles @ 8 mile pace

Not that I wish at all to hear of other people's injuries, it is ever so slightly comforting to see other people have to miss or two runs or cut runs short due to niggles, it's not just me whose body feels like a bit of a crock!...the physios must be raking it in...

Lis, i hope you are fully recovered soon, youre doing a great job with P&D

I think alot of people are starting to feel the increasing miles(KMS) in their bodies which is totally expected when you see the mileage some people are running...

Has everyone seen this thread, i reckon its worth a read by everyone

Skidrow

Have to agree with you Lizzy & YAnne, increased mileage is taking its toll with me also. I have missed 1 run this week and last week because I felt I just hadn't the energy. I make sure not to miss the LSR which is probably the most important run of the week. Heading to Phoenix Park for 15 mile LSR early tomorrow, 10:30ish pace, forecast looks ok.

Currently juggling my runs around this week due to earlier niggles. Mon and Fridays rests turned into Mon and Tuesday, and a steady wed run turned into a easy run. Feeling much better tonight after a 7mile fartlek session than I thought I would. Easy 5 mile and 15m Lsr to go, hope the legs hold up ok! Kudos to all who went out on Mon and Tuesday in that weather. It was brutal down here in Cork.

Off to A.King tomorrow for Gait analysis and new runners. Will be interesting to see if they recommend the pair I have now or a different brand/model.

haven't had many problems with existing ones. Should I be loathed to change or trust totally in their advice?

FWIW if ya have no problem with your current ones I'd stick with them. I changed last time just for the sake of change having had 4 or 5 saucony triumphs in a row. Going back to the saucony's next time.

Thats what I was thinking when I went there today. What transpired was that I changed them. Had ASICS kayano 17s and have now opted for Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12s. I hope I don't regret the decision. It was down to two pairs in the end , the Kayano 18 Vs Brooks. What made me opt for the Brooks was that on video playback I seemed to be getting better support (I'm an overpronator) with the Brooks and since I currently have a niggle on my left ankle I thought this might be better in longer term.

I have to say the folks out there know their stuff and are very thorough. Really felt like I was getting the best advice. Got gait analysis before trying anything on and for each pair I tried on after.And they even let you take them outside for test runs on pavement. Taking them for a break-in run in the morning. Fingers crossed I made the right choice.

I am doing the 10m race in PP on Saturday and would love some advice on how to structure the week. Should I even do the 10m as its a peak mileage week?

I dont know how to reschedule my week. This is the plan. Can someone suggest actual. Today (Sunday) i completed 18m LSR.

Mon - Rest / CT
Tue - Recovery 7m
Wed - Medium Long 12m
Thurs - Rest
Fri - 10m w/6m @ 15km Pace
Sat - Recovery 5m
Sun - Long 20 mi

Thanks...again ;-))

Ok, first off I think that you should definitely do the race. You'll get a lot more out of this then any training session - if you're signed up, then go for it. My 0.02 EUR worth!

If you are to do this, would you want to run it hard? If so, then the week that you've planned needs to change a lot! What does the following week look like? Could you just swap the two weeks? While a 10 mile race is great, so too is a 20mile LSR. If you could manage both within the next 2 weeks, then that would be ideal.

For this week, I would suggest dropping the Friday run for something easy paced (maybe 5 miles), with some strides at the end to loosen up the legs. Definitely no need for an LSR on Sunday - if you do a warm up/ warm down you'll get plenty quality work done on the Saturday. Do you usually run on a Sunday? If so, then a few very slow recovery miles.

I would be interested in seeing what the different members' goal time is. I seem to be doing the highest mileage but am sure some of you will run a faster race on fewer miles!

I'm training for 3:30 but may revise to 3:25!

I was training for sub4 but that was before my injury. Now I'll be thankful to get to starting line but assuming fit for Oct 29th I will probably have to revise target to 4:15. (Current PB 4:45 without any structured plan)

beeduybe

Similar to Micilin Muc my goal time at the moment is sub 3:30 but may aim for a time a little faster than that depending on how the rest of the training goes.

I went from 4:42 at DCM '11 to 3:56 in the Connemarathon a few months later. I didn't think it was as big a leap as the difference between 4 hours and 3:30.

Don't sell yourself short as there are still 10 weeks left to the day! You seem to be looking after the injury well too so keep it up!

Thanks Micilín for the positivity. The next 3-4 weeks are crucial for me,then I'll review and see where I am.

RedB

Sub 3:30 is my target but also have a 'side race' on the day so might need to shave a few more minutes off that if possible!
PB is 3:42:xx(2010 chip) so hoping to drop approx 15mins

3:15 is the aim at the moment but would be happy to break 3:20, did CCM in 3:25 when I struggled the last few miles. Plan is to go out with 3:15 pacers and see how I go.

mr.wiggle

I somehow managed a 3.23 at the Cork city Marathon in June, jumping in at week7 of the plan i'm now following. I'm looking to maintain that time in Dublin but would be delighted if i could do a sub 3.20.

6|Lizzy C|P&D -33-55|7|4|32.09m|253.3m|Week didn't go so well - missed mid week Long Run due to sore foot and had to take trip to physio. Also, did 11m on Sunday LSR instead of 18, because of foot. Think I'm on the mend though...
7|Skidrow|HH inter1|7|4|29m|184m|Missed 1 of the 7m runs due to groin strain, happy to get through 14m.
8|Younganne|Ecolis plan|8|2|12.6m|216.93m| only 2 runs done, legs still not 100% so following Physio advice, weekly sessions now required to see if i can make the start line|

10|D Chief|P&D -55|8|5|88.7km|570.9km|This was a hard week. Found LT run on Friday tough and struggled in last 3k (uphill to home) of this mornings 32k LSR.
11|Sideline warrior|HH Inter 1|5|5|28.5m|135.9m|Avg pace this week was 8.03 so am going to make concerted effort to slow down on the longer runs. Seems to be best practice. Am in France next week for 2 weeks and am concerned that due to heat it will be tough to get in runs especially LSRs. Will try early morning runs but am not an early runner!
12|seanie_m|HH Inter 1|5|6|30mi|127.5mi|Was so happy with how this week was going, then for whatever reason my knee just gave up on me early on in tonights LSR, only managed to do half of it. Going to have to take a few days off I fear to let it recover. Aside from that though, was a good week

My oringinal plan was to try and break 4hrs(4.41 & 4.27 previous times) but that will now depend on whether the calf issuse clears up completely. I will review plans in a few weeks after the half!!

I hope no-one minds, i put line numbers in as some weeks it difficult to find where we are when there is so much text.

Sorry to hear of your continued injury problem. Have my own injury issues too as you can see from my low mileage in last few weeks. Hope we both can make a full recovery and say hello face to face on Oct 29th:)
