I totally agree, I would be very slow to pay more than €25 for a half or €15 for a 10k at this stage. When you see how well run and organised some of the cheaper ones are, it makes you wonder where the extra money is going. The one that takes the biscuit is Clonakilty next weekend, the half marathon is €50! For an extra tenner you could get early bird entry into Cork City Marathon!Nah, bed > early morning runs = fact
That is steep, didnt check the price as I won't be doing it. AC races are much better value and I prefer going them. The money is going to the right place instead of commerically driven races that are only after profit.
If AC's can do it for 20-25 (Like Waterford), 40 is just over the top. Unless 15 per entry is going to charity, which I very much doubt.
Aha! I knew there was a reason I didn’t get out of bed to jogging this morning, it was natures way of telling me to hang on til this evening and do my inaugural run in my spanking new Boards t-shirt!How is everyone looking in their new boardsAC tops?

My Brother lives close by & he is saying he'll do Cork with me in June - he is one of these people with muscle tone everywhere but does no sport, put's it down to 'hard work'! and he did a 10k training run with me & was brand new afterwards, and he smokes! so I told him we'd race this Great Heath 10k. the area is all flat around there.
Nothing like a bit of sibling rivalry to liven up a day out
I'll definitely look into this race as it'd only be an hour up the road from me, and there doesn't seem to be too many options around that time.0 -

My Boards t shirt was waiting for me when I got home, delighted with it, nice fit, great quality and it's in the Monaghan colours, so I can wear it with pride when I'm up home
It got it's inaugural run tonight, but unfortunately I had to wear my cheapie Aldi jacket over it and it still got wet

Thing is that, by my reckoning, she was 6th in her category, she hit 10k in 42 mins (2min PB) and 10m also ahead of PB! She just has high expectations of herself. And expectations of continuing to be faster than me - she's even starting to try Meno's plan to ensure that keeps on happening!:pcareer_move wrote: »Sorry Mrs D didn't have a better race - still a fantastic time though!
I'm actually re-thinking doing the Waterford full - the idea of that 6 mile run from Tramore being the last 6 miles of a marathon is putting me off. Too long, featureless and unpopulated. So I'm thinking of either Limerick or probably Cork - one of my colleagues has run all three so I'll have a word with him about his experiences (I think he got his PB in Limerick, so I'll have to bear that in mind).I would def be interested in Wexford, it's a bit of a trek for me, but the timing would be perfect for Cork City Marathon, would give me a good idea of where I'm at. Think 1:35 would've a bit optimistic for me, but I'll do my best to snap at your heels!
Just on the Wexford half, I think it's €35 until the end of January, then it's up to €40. It is pricy enough alright but I did enjoy the course last year (despite the horizontal hailstones near the end!).
Ran 3m tonight at that "easy" pace - jaysus, I'm not looking forward to the hard pace! Before now I was running each km in 5:55 or slower, now I'm around 5:20 - it's a big step up in pace.Most importantly you will see your ideal Easy/recovery/Long run paces based on current fitness.
E.G. Dilbert75 ran a 1:38:40 half, so his easy pace is now 8-9 min/mile and recovery is 9-9:45/mile.
Chanced taking the city-centre route on the way in and was crossing the bridge around the time the train was getting in - was looking out for a runnery-looking person wearing a pink fleece but you weren't to be seen - but sure you got there anyway.Got a bit lost in the morning trying to get to Woodies (some lovely(!) person sent me in the wrong direction)Libby had a good sniff of the lads doing press ups as she passed by (Libby being my dog – not some pervert I run with that goes round sniffing sweaty hurlers!)
If you find a supply of those anywhere...share!Set my alarm to get up and get today’s run out of the way…. Yeah, you can imagine how that went. I need some of the beans that Career Move seems to be full of!
BTW I've just looked at my Garmin data and found that I hit 10km in 44:57 and 16km (just shy of 10m) in 69:58! Previous 10m best was in Dublin 10m and was 77:XX - c.10% improvement. Wow.0
