Saturday: 14mile LSR with 4 miles @ PMP. Felt comfortable after the 4 miles at planned race pace and I was tempted to keep going for the remaining 3 miles at that pace (7.46/mile) but thought better of it after a few tough days and slowed to 8.30/mile.

Monday: 12 x 400m intervals with 2m w/up and c/dwn. Had to really drag myself out into the cold last night for this run at about 9.30 when the couch, coffee and biscuits were calling me. I felt i deserved the fruit cake and crisps afterwards.;)

Ran the Mallow10 yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. My 10 miles at MP went out the window around mile4 once a training partner of mine jogged by doing 6.50's. I fought the urge for about 60secs ,then took off after him. So instead of a comfortable 75 min finish, I was coerced into a sub72 min finish. :-D . Ah well, an easy 5 mile run today to loosen the hammys.

Ecoenergy

I've just realised that I've been updating the table after each run and not weekly like everyone else. Oops.

Do you have a training log - you could start one up.

Ecoenergy

I've been browsing through the logs for quite a while as there's always something to learn but I've never started one. Maybe I'll take the plunge sometime but I'll stick to updating my desktop spreadsheet for now.
Cheers.:)

Nice running Mr W! 'coerced' into a sub 72? I couldn't be 'coerced' into that time if there was a herd of raging bulls behind me!

What was the race like other than that? Was it a hilly course?

Thx ncmc, it was a perfect day for it. Only a couple o hills really so a great course for a pb. Best organised race I've done so far. And as its local for me its a bonus!

scriba

Great running mrwiggle, you'll be in great nick by June!

I took a rest day today, and am now looking at 5 days in a row. I needed it though. But I'll need more after that! Early start so tomorrow.

Sure whatever works for you. If it's of benefit, keep updating here by session.

Legs are grand, but feeling a bit lazy since. Going to drag myself out for 12 miles tonight. Sorry I didn't get my runs done in the brighter weather this week now, there's some filthy rain coming over the horizon for the rest of the week.

The run itself went really well, much easier than I thought it would be. Really time consuming thought, I'm definitely going to try do this weekend's one as early as possible, otherwise it eats into the day.

Nobody panic - but just over 10 weeks to go... :P

Exactly what I needed to hear. I'm going home, getting my runners, and doing a session.

Gotta look after the legs tonight, ( in work ), with stretching and rolling. Don't want the calf's to act up again after a great weeks running.
Was absolutely freezing this morning on the LSR. Didn't see the usual amount of sloggers out there braving it.

Little Eco has been sick over the past week so marathon training has taken a back seat. Only completed 4 of the planned 6 runs and missed my planned 16m LSR. I'm contemplating running the 16 miles today instead of the planned 800m intervals as I've got 18 miles planned for next weekend. My thoughts being its better to get the miles in than an interval session. Bearing in mind little Eco gave me very little sleep last night is this a good idea?

Steroo

Hi Eco - I'd definitely prioritise the Long Run. Just fuel up well before you go out. If you don't get it done today I'd let it go & focus on the 18m for the weekend.

ncmc

I’d be inclined to let the 16m LSR go to be honest Eco, I think it’s a bad idea to start chasing missed runs and trying to wedge them in to the following week. It would leave this week very high mileage. I’d do your interval run as planned and just pick up the plan where you left off. Everyone misses runs, a missed 16m isn’t a massive deal in the scheme of things.

I’ve missed two 12m runs in the last few weeks, not going to worry about it. Sometimes you have to take a step back from the plan and realise that a missed run isn’t going to have any effect on your time.

That's an impressive pace for an LSR, what time are you targeting in Cork?

Ran 3.43 for my first marathon in Dublin so hoping for somewhere sub 3.30. I know 8.22 is a little fast but I had to get back to work after my extended lunch 'hour'.:D

:eek::eek::eek: It's posts like this that scare the crap out of me! I have some mad notion of a 3:30 time and my times are sooooooooo much slower than yours! I am beginning to think that I am being a tad optimistic!

16 miles in your lunch hour... I doff my cap to you sir, that it serious dedication

Ah here, 16 mile lunch time runs...? Feic this I'm taking up knitting.
