Good week, first few days was about recovery from the race. Missed the club session on Thursday so did my own thing around UCD. it was incredibly difficult
Corkagh Parkrun #100 on Saturday, good effort but still running around 24-25 mins each week.
12 Miles on Sunday was a bit of a struggle even though I'd found it ok the previous week, doing the same distance!0 -

Haven't updated these since last April
Starting to see some more consistency in the runs which is good. The last year or so doesn't make for pretty reading though.0 -

Week ending Sept 8th:
This week had a Tuesday session grass of 4 x 1 Mile. Easy Running the rest of the week and the The Lakes 10K on Saturday. I then had a long run of 10 Miles on the Sunday.
The session was fine, paces between 7:20 and 7:50, but good session. The race wasn't great, maybe I had unrealistic expectations but I was fairly disappointed in the result. The run on the Sunday was tough and I had a bit of an injury flare up with the hip and the back, I knew it was a bit of a setback so I was in for a few days off or lower volume for a while. (Also the end of any thoughts of running DCM)
Week ending Sept 15th:
Not much to report the following week apart from a decent effort at a parkrun on the Saturday and a short run on the Sunday.
Week ending Sept 22nd:
Back to a full week after that. Tuesday session of 3 x 2K and a parkrun on the Saturday. Pace on the session was 7:20-7:40 which i was happy with. The Parkrun was a little faster too.
I wasn't feeling the love for a long run so cut it short after 3 miles. Part Hangover, part niggle and part motivation related
Week ending Sept 29th:
The next week had 2 sessions and a race. Session 6 x 600m on Tuesday and a 40 min tempo on the Thursday. The 600's were good, in the range of 7:00 - 7:20 m/m. The tempo was more of a struggle on a very wet night and came out at around 8:44 which wasn't great to be fair!
The race went well (Rathfarnham 5k). Expecting around 24 mins and came in at 22:19 or so. Started out conservatively and picked it up as the race went on. Pleasantly surprised.
Week ending Oct 6th:
The following week I did 2 sessions and a parkrun. The Tuesday was more of a steady run than a full session, Thursday I had 2 Terenure laps, so around 5 miles, paces were 7:50/8:23 so decent enough pace compared to the week before.
Week ending Oct 13th:
The next week I had 2 sessions and a parkrun again. Session was 4 x 1 mile (or a little bit less). Pace around 7:30ish.
Second session was 1 min On/1 min off.
Week ending Oct 20th:
Hills & Sprints session, good blowout I guess. 5 Mile Tempo on Thursday (8:38/8:12/8:01/7:53/8:25) No looking at the watch!
Week ending Oct 27th:
Marathon week, so I got the longrun in on Saturday. Also manged another 2 club sessions. First was 600/400 x 4 (Pace around 6:30 on the 400 and 7:00 on the 600m). Second one was a short tempo (2.5 Miles @ 7:47) and some 200m sprints.
Week ending Nov 3rd:
4 x 1 Mile again on Tuesday, this time paces were around 7:15-7:25, so a bit quicker. The Thursday was 1 min on/1 min off again. On Saturday i had a parkrun that was a bit faster than usual (23:15) but still well short of what I would have been hoping for by now.
That's us caught up, hopefully keep it updated a bit better from here.0 -

Monday - Easy run @ 9:29
Tuesday - Session - 4 x Mt. Carmel Lap
The Lap is around 0.8 miles. It starts with a stiff uphill then a gradual drop then a flat finish section. 90 seconds recovery, then go again. My paces were: 7:12/7:18/7:20/7:16. Happy enough with that.
Wednesday - Easy Run @ 9:31
Thursday Session - 15 x 1 min On/1 Min Off
Standard Thursday session, didn't go too hard on it but it was a good effort nonetheless!
Friday - Off
Saturday - Tymon Parkrun
Almost missed the start doing the warmup, technically I did miss the start but got going towrds the back of the pack. Tried to keep it steady/tempo sort of effort but was working fairly hard by the second lap. Finish time was 24.40. With W/U and C/D I had 6.4 miles.
Sunday - Long Run.
12 Miles around the hills of the waterworks in preparation for the hills of Lanzarote in 2 weeks time. I found it hard but manageable!
Total for week of 41.9 Miles.0 -

Poor enough week this week.
Monday - Rest. I had intended on running but I got a work call when I wanted to run and then it was too late as I had to get to bed in order to get up at 1am to watch the 49ers lose to the Seahawks.
Tuesday - Session. Hills and Sprints, 8 hills and 8 sprints, of around 800m each. Good session, somewhat enjoyable.
Wednesday- Easy run. 6.1 miles at 9:02 m/m
Thursday - Session, Tempo run, 5.7 Miles @ 7:43. Pace on these tempo runs seem to be getting faster which is a good sign!
Friday - No run, I'd been feeling a bit sick so decided to give it a miss.
Saturday - Same, skipped the parkrun and just decided it would be better to rest up.
Sunday - Same. No running.
17.7 Miles for the week. No harm in a week like this every so often I guess.
I'll be taking it easy this week again with 4 races :eek: planned for next week in Lanzarote!0 -

Thanks
I guess I should try to schedule more rest/recovery days as the usual strategy of running easy is not leaving me ready to run hard the next day0 -
