No wonder it was dark you must have been out in the middle of the night!!!!career_move wrote: »9m @ 8:10
This was good. It was dark and even when I shined the light on my watch it was hard to read it so I was trying to judge the pace by feel. The torch is a good dog deterrent though0 -

Cheers Digger. It's very good of you to volunteer Meno's servicesWas out with Meno for pints last night and he was saying he might unofficially pace a sub 20 group for this.... Give him a shout
It's cool. It's oxygen I'll most likely be needing not a pacerhaha what ?
I'll probably race it if I am not working, might not get much below 20 minutes but will give it a shot... 0 -
7m easy + 6 x 100m strides (walk back rec)
Easy miles: 9:02, 8:58, 8:57, 8:59, 8:54, 9:01, 9:00
Strides: 29, 28, 28, 28, 27, 25 (Av pace: 6:05)
Happy with this. I thought I might be a bit tired after yesterday but it was easy to keep at 'easy' pace and the strides went well. Last one was too fast because the blacksmith arrived and I didn't mean to speed up but I did :rolleyes: If he didn't think I was odd before he does now after seeing me do 3 laps of the yard to bring the daily total up to 8 miles 0 -

Brrrrrrrrrr. Cold this morning. It seemed to get colder as I ran because when I stepped outside the door this morning I said 'Nah I won't need gloves. It's not that cold' :rolleyes:
I hear you cm, was out for a late run last night and luckily had brought my lovely new Aldi running hat and gloves along for the first time, freezing !
Now, I had to get up and out for work this morning, what's your excuse !!

A.M: 1m @ 9:10
P.M 10m @ 8:08
3m easy @ 9:01, 9:00, 9:02
3m steady 8:12, 8:10, 8:09
3m @ MP 7:38, 7:38, 7:36
1m @ HMP 7:02
This morning was a lovely morning for a run - not too cold, dry, calm. Perfect. Unfortunately after I dragged myself from my bed at 6a.m I realised my watch was dead. Aarrgggg :mad: I don't have time for this. I have to leave for Limerick at 10a.m and I have two horses to exercise before I go. I charged the watch for 20 minutes at it had two bars so I was well happy. I thought that would get my 10m done. My watch was lying though because I only got half a mile down the road and the 'battery alert' light came on. Quick decision. Thought it was pointless doing a progression run when I would have no idea of pace so abandoned it till I came home
Second attempt was wet and windy. Though not as bad in lovely Laois as it was in Limerick! The run went well. I had paces in my head of 9:00 easy, 8:10 steady 7:40 MP and 7:05 HMP and I pretty much nailed them so very happy. I knew this run would go well though because I had a lot of pent up anger to dissipate and it did the trick 0 -

9m @ 9:04
with 6 x 120m strides (all 27 secs)
Had a weird pain in my right knee this morning. It's usually the left knee that gets sore Then it just disappeared. One minute I was walking up the path with a horse thinking my knee is sore. If it's sore when I'm running I'll do less today and the next there's no pain at all and I'm thinking I'm just imagining things. No pain whatsoever during the run so maybe it's a signal that I need to do some stretches tonight 
Run went well. I was feeling a small bit tired but still I was slowing myself down to keep at easy pace and the strides felt good. Rest day tomorrow then 2m recovery on Sat and the 10m race Sun. I'm going to wear my watch (because I like to have a record of all my runs) but not concentrate on the pace and run it as a hard training run. So it will be all about effort and keeping my breathing controlled. 0 -

Chip time: 1:14:40 PB*
Flying mile: 5:54
RHR 42 this morning ... hasn't been that low for a race since Limk so even though I was sneezing continuously and I had a runny nose I was very confident. Plan for today was to wear my watch but run the first 6 miles comfortably hard, take my time up the hills and then race hard down the hills. Secretly I wanted a pb because even though it's a tough course my 10m pb from Dungarvan is poor and I also wanted a sub 6 min flying mile. I met Belcarra at the start and he said he was aiming for 4:40/km pace. Not sure what that is in miles but it sounded ok so I figured I'd just stick with him. Yay Who needs a watch when I have Belcarra It's great running with someone you know because there's no need to talk. I hate talking when I'm running! First 5 miles flew by and we got a nice shout out from Blockic on the way back into the village. I was feeling strong and my breathing was nice and controlled. Effort was consistent but the paces were a bit all over the place because of the hills. Mile 1 - 5: 7:04, 7:33, 7:03, 7:23, 7:11
There was a steepish incline midway through mile 5 and I must have been trucking on a bit because Belcarra asked me did I know there was another 2 miles of hills? :mad: The hills started early. Sneaky. I thought I had till mile 6. Ouch. I dropped back off Belcarra shortly after that because I wanted to keep my breathing constant in case I got a stitch. I kept counting over and over in my head going up hill and just concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other and thinking to myself "Remember you did the Wicklow Way. You can do this" Up, up we went. Round the corner. More up. Next corner. More up. Passed a few people who had stopped to walk. Suckers Occasionally I caught a glimpse of Belcarra. He was about 100m in front of me. Another girl in a blue top that I was talking to before the race was running with me here. I thought she was having to put in a bit more effort than me so when we finally caught sight of the cheering crowd and the top of the hill and she sped up a bit I tucked in behind her because I thought I'd be able to pass her on the downhill. It was lovely to get mile 8 and the top of that hill and know it was all downhill to the finish. Mile 6 - 8: 7:42, 9:24, 8:11
I passed out the blue top girl before the timing mat for the flying mile and down the hill I went. There was a couple of guys ahead of me that I had as targets and I could still see Belcarra. The downhill was fast. I was keeping an eye on my watch cause I wanted to keep it fairly controlled. Mile 9: 5:54I didn't feel like it trashed my legs too much and I was happy I was strong in the last mile and able to sprint for the line Mile 10 7:12.
Definitely one for the calender again next year. Really well organised - loads of water and in places where you'd be glad of it and fantastic spread. Also was lovely to meet Shortstuff and purceninho. Well done on your races guys 0 -

Well done on the PB and thanks for coming along!!0 -
