Sorry to hear that new runner - sounds very similar to what happened to me a couple of weeks ago (won't bore everyone again with the details). My advice is be careful. I'm an old fart and it took me 15 days to feel normal - your experience will probably be better but be conservative.0 -

Quiet on here so time for a check in!
Ticking along myself nicely these days and starting to ramp up again after the marathon recovery. Plan is to mess around with short distances the next couple of weeks and then put the head down for a solid 8 week block in 10km focused training incl a 26.2 mile BeepBeep style LSR on the June bank holiday.
Goal being a 10km race in the middle of July. Very few and far between surprisingly around that time of year. I currently have the option of Fit Magazine 10km in Cork or the Fingal 10km. Fingal looks like a twisty enough course.
Anyone here do it last year? How did ye find it?
Need to get the competitiveness going in me again and start putting in some updates to the 10 round numbers thread
Might even take a shot at the 800m if a race suits before starting marathon plan in the end of July. 0 -

I liked it, was easier than the GIR anyway. But from what I remember the wind last year held everyone back. Everyone was talking about that.
There was a bit of an incline/drag for about 3k in the middle - i think and then the wind was in the face there too.
There is a twist at about 9k alright but its all downhill after that till about the last 200m where theres a short incline and then flat to the finish.0 -

The only part where it might be a bit dodge is where the twist happens at mile 9 which is for all of a few seconds.
Thanks, I hope I won't be running in the 9th mile though!
Sounds alright actually, good option so for me, I'll wait and see what the Cork route is like.0 -

It really wasn't a fast course last year. I got a PB at the time but I would have expected about a minute faster.
Big hill for about a mile which coincided with heading straight into the wind (around Mile 5). I ran 39:59 (av pace 6:25/mile) but the mile uphill and into the wind was a 7:20 :eek:.
It was definitely a fast finish but even on a good day (no wind) it wouldn't at all be a fast course. I know most people who did it and GIR last year were about 40 seconds slower in Fingal.0 -

Guys, you might look at that time in the exact same way I look at the times for likes of Krusty, Kiely, TRR etc. in awe. But the fact is no matter where you are in the ladder there is always someone faster/better so best to keep performances relative. That's all we can do!
Although I personally also find it good to have some rivalry banter (nothing too serious
)between someone who would be of similar ability to you to push you that small bit further. Take myself and Gavlor for example. It's all fun and games for the most part but I can tell you in Dungarvan 10 this year, there was no way I would have got the time I got if he wasn't prancing up ahead of me! 
Probably just my competitive edge coming out but at times that can be a good thing.
I'll probably be hammered for that now but I said I'd put it out there. I have no doubt there is a little bit of that in all of us.
Lets face it though there have some excellent performances on here recently even being down in Limerick I had as much praise for Killians performance of grinding out to the finish when things were not going to plan as I had for Gavlor and career_move super race times.
We are all joggers at the end of the day. The main thing is that you enjoy it and leave everything you have out on the course.0 -

I'd say you look at your own time and yourself in awe :pac:0 -

Theres also no way you would have got the same time as me if I hadn't had about 18 pints 2 nights before
There's no harm whatsoever with a bit of friendly rivalry to make things interesting0 -

Speaking of Dungarvan 10. It was a dead heat that day. We need a aul smackdown/rematch seeing as you are coming up with excuses!
5 miler would suit! 0 -
