    WEEK 5
    WEDNESDAY -rest

    THURSDAY - 8 miles steady average pace 8:18

    FRIDAY - 6.8 miles, hilly, slow/steady, no watch.

    SATURDAY Strawberry hm, Enniscorthy.

    1:34:35. 13 sec pb. (I'm not counting the Avondale hm last Feb, short course).

    Grand run, very hilly but I think I paced it ok. I'm beginning to think that the hilly races suit me better, would I be alone in this?
    Splits.
    1. 7:08
    2. 7:21
    3. 7:38
    4. 7:20
    5. 7:16
    6. 7:29
    7. 7:07

    10. 7:15
    11. 7.06
    12. 7.15
    13. 6.56

    Forgot to turn the watch off at the finish.
    Charles the parrot stuck with me till mile 8, finished with a respectable 1:37xx.
    The hilly nature of the course is reflected in the splits. Even though I still think my pb is soft I can only be happy with this run

    I'd say your time is 2-3 mins quicker on a flatter course alright. You'll see big improvements on that in Athlone in September.

    Just over a two hour run today. Got out good and early, here's how it went.

    First hour easy.
    20@HM effort
    5 min easy
    2x45 sec @ 10k effort
    2x45 sec @ 5k effort
    2x45 sec @ 3k effort
    1mile hard and finished off easy.

    15.2 miles in total.
    Great run, found it wonderfully tough if that makes sense, very happy with how it went. Exactly what I need.....

    Nice one barry. Are you doing those efforts by feel or off the watch?

    7.8 very hilly miles this evening. Very humid again. Did 6/7 short, hard but controlled strides. Legs feel really good after this run.

    RHR 41, 9:00am. I think I'm on the way out. Seriously, I don't know what to think about my RHR. It's averaging out at about 43 over the last week. Honestly didn't think it was this low. I used to check it the odd time, at different parts of the day and I thought it was around the 50 mark. I'll just have to keep an eye on it..........

    I wouldn't worry. Last time I checked my RHR, it was 39bpm.
    Maybe you've just got a low HRMax like me? (177bpm)
