Ok, after consultation with my VERY patient and long suffering husband, I have decided the Keswick HM would be a bad idea, too hilly and too much of a risk of a confidence knock or worse, a physical knock.
So, instead I have decided to do…….. Wexford HM on April 21st
It’s a wee bit of a trek for me (2 hours each way) and it’s a bit pricey at €40, but it’s fast, flat and scenic, so should give me an excellent chance of getting a good time and it’s perfect timing for Cork. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we can make a bit of a day of it…. I’ve promised to make the ham sandwiches and the tae!
I think there are a few others from here doing it, so hopefully I’ll meet another couple of Boardsies!0 -

I'm hoping for sub 2 hrs in my next half, I think I'm going to have to set up a new breakaway thread, it's getting too embarrassing to be posting on here :-)0 -

That's a good choice. A very nice route. there is a little bit of a drag between miles 2-5 but that means the last half of the route is all flat and Downhill. I paced it a few times and have always thought it would be a good course for a PB.0 -

Was at my own club this evening and discussing the option of trying the sessions out.Never done anything like that before so would love to try it out.I'll leave it till after my HM on 17th though. How did you feel trying them out the first time? and do they give you some guidance on how to approach them?
Wasn't really my first time had done some sessions last year but gave them up as we got closer to DCM. Was told to go out as fast as I could but at a pace that could be sustained to allow me to finish the whole 10 intervals. We had about a 20 second jog recovery so was tough enough. Definitely give it a go once your HM is in the bag. Bet you'll enjoy it. Weird aren't we 0 -

Thanks DeeDee...20seconds doesnt sound long though to recover. Something to look forward to :eek:0 -
I had a club session tonite too! Legs were sore before I began due to 17mile LSR on Sunday , which resulted in blistered feet
n a 6.6m supposedly recovery run yesterday which was lot hillier than I intended as I had my car booked into a garage near letterkenny so took my running gear with me and went for a run, hilly area n my calves were screaming at me all day along with my blisters, which infact aren't too bad since I burst them with a sterile needle n covered with a plasters! Anyway our schedule tonite was tough as it was 10 min warm up followed by a 400m speed trial on a track !!! Followed by 10 x 400m up and down a very steep hill!!! Not easy n def wudnt have done it on my own! Then 10 min slow cool down, ironically my legs did better than expected n actually feel better than earlier today!
