Good stuff Doco, looks like that goal will be a breeze. I see the future and myself and Blockic will be sending you ahead at 20 miles;) 3:27:xx no problem
Savage session Doco and +1 to the above, keep it very sensible for the first 3/4 and you will have plenty in the tank to kick on towards the end.0 -

Could I have seen you? I was out in that direction last night too - did 12 miles, and included the hill at Shielmartin Road, passed some one heading out towards Howth just past the Marine (moving quite briskly!) at around 7.30?
Passed that spot alright but it was more like 9pm, so wasn't me. Besides, the "moving quite briskly" bit sounds like someone else! But I do a lot of my training between Fairview and Howth so no doubt we've passed each other at some point. 0 -

I spotted you at Sutton Cross Helen I was going quite briskly but I was in my car though on the way to pick up the young lad from football training. You were ticking along nicely in your unmistakable style;). 0 -

No matter how much I run I can't seem to lose my 'distinctive' style. Oh well, we all have our crosses to bear! I was adding to my unusual appearance by wearing compression knee-socks, you may have noticed.
thanks for not saying I was staggering along exhausted or anything!0 -
Sorry to hear. Smart move to live to fight another day. Everyone knows though that all the cool people do spring marathons :cool: just saying plenty of time to shop around for a decent marathon target come Mar/Apr:D
Don't be putting ideas in my head!;) Actually I have really reduced my times from last year but am still very slow. Think I will concentrate on building up my core strength and speed first. I want to be running in years to come so not willing to sacrifice that for one race .There will lots of marathons to come for me I hope 0 -

had to edit my last years time. I double-checked and i was doing myself out of 26 seconds. It was eating me away inside. So just changed it there. feel so much better now. It's just my OCD kicking in:D0 -
2 weeks, how did that happen :eek: Anyone got an idea of where's good for a feed of pasta in Dublin on the Sunday night? Also if any of you want to meet up for dinner maybe we could arrange a boards pasta party? This worked well in Limerick - was great to meet some boardsies before the race...or maybe I'm the only weirdo who doesn't mind having dinner with strangers from the internet
Didn't think DCM would be as exciting this year but I can't bloody wait

I can't believe it's only two weeks either and definitely excited about this year too! Got mid week session in on Tuesday - 14 miles @MP (9:00MM). First six miles no problem then watch died so did last 7.5 (was dark so couldn't pass by house for last .5) to feel and judging on phone time was a little quicker than MP - enjoyed just running and not having watch to check. Did local 10K run today in 49.11 which was a PB for me - was afraid I wouldn't hold pace but it felt easier than I thought it would. My 2nd 10K this year and only 3rd race - thought I had done more for some reason.:eek: But at the end of the day eyes on the prize - training has gone well so positive mental attitude for the next two weeks and DCM 2013 here we come:):) 0

That sounds like a pretty cool idea or what about meeting at the expo and then go for a pasta lunch?0 -
Last long run today: 20.02 miles @9:13 in 3hrs 4mins
Ran this with group from club. The really good thing about running with a group is they bring you along. The bad thing about running with a group is that they bring you along.
Confused? what I mean is that I did this a little faster than originally planned. They were quite a few MP miles so it was definitely a great test and hopefully no fallout from it. Back is a little sore but hopefully the right stretching, ibuprofen and rest over next couple of days will sort it out.
Avg HR 129 ( I am happy with this)
Max HR 153
First 10: 9:36,9:10,9:03,9:15,9:25,9:06,9:10,9:12,9:09,9:01
Last 10: 9:06,9:13,9:00,8:57,9:03,9:07,9:17,9:21,9:26,9:51
So that's 20 with 11 at MP so really pleased with that and glad to have that under the belt now and hopefully next couple of weeks will look after the niggles.0 -

Not sure what to say about this. I think I'll hold my tongue

Easy/rest| Easy/rest| 10 with 8 miles @MP |Recovery |Easy/rest| Easy/rest|12 miles easy| 30-35 miles
Great work this weeks folks. Looks like several of you are in great shape to hit the targets; now it's just time to get to the startline fresh and sharp.
This weeks we have definite signs of taper Resist the temptation to run wednesdays PMP miles at faster than PMP. Just because there are less PMP miles doesn't mean you should go out and race them!! It should feel nice and easy at this stage and that's how it is meant to be!! 0 -

Go Blocky go Pity it's not on tv here, be good to see.
Cheers for posting plan Meno, weird to see only 30-35 miles to do this week, whatever will we do with all our free time? Did my 16 yest very easy, made it 50 for the week. 16 felt so short after the last few weeks mileage.
So sorry to hear your out Dechol, best of luck with recovery.0
