Anyone planning to run this? Just found it while looking for something to work off possible Easter excesses...

The race begins on the Main Avenue in St Anne's Park and the participants complete a loop of the Park before exiting onto Sybil Hill Road; the road continues along Vernon Avenue, Castle Avenue, Kincora Avenue, Seapark Road and Mount Prospect Avenue before the runners reenter the Park at the Rose Garden where they complete another loop before the finish on the Main Avenue

No. Did you check the link provided? That's where I got the information

From knowing the area and seeing that route, its flat and should produce quick times. Its incorporating the Leinster 10 mile road race to i read somewhere.

I registered for this yesterday but I have never run 10 miles before :eek:

What training would you guys recommend? I did 10K yesterday morning at a slow pace and was comfortable enough. I am thinking to do 3 shorts (5K at a faster pace) per week and one long 10K increasing by 2K each week. Does that sound reasonable or should I be aiming for more? My goal, I suppose, is completion in 1 hr 40.

If I do 10 mile does that mean I am a real runner???:D

Didn't really plan on being in Dublin for Easter but this is tempting...

If you do 10k, then you are already a real runner. Take a look at these 15k/10 mile training programs and structure your training around the one that most suits your current level/commitment.

I'd say so. I reckon Paddy will be up for it and I'd say Tomo will do it aswell. Luke and Simon might go for it to.

I'd be up for that if I was in anyway fit but I've done fcukall since the marathon. I'd say I could swing sub 56 at best right now, so you'd be a fair bit ahead of me on the day.

Hadn't planned on doing it however if needed for a team I could be open to running it. Good chance for me to set a 10mile time.

Any map for course anywhere?

I havent done any specific 10 mile workouts in yonks and its been a few weeks since I did any long run! So I may be hitting 56 too. Am half thinking that a pb isnt necessarily a done deal..

Should be one coming tomorrow.

An updated course description is below

Basically the race consists of 2 loops of park on paths and roads ( 8.5 miles) separated by 1.5 miles on adjacent public roads Sybil Hill/Vernon Avenue and Mount Prospect Avenue. The race starts and finishes in park.

Christ. What have I done?:eek:

I'm guessing it isn't too fast, eh?

Looks lightning fast but there may be an element of orienteering involved to not get lost with doubling over yourself so much :P

tunguska

Seriously? I wouldnt have entered had I known it'd be like that. Its like an F1 circuit....

drquirky

I take it doesn't go up that hill they use in raheny. 5? Turns don't bother a midget like me lol

Looks like someone let their 2 yr old loose with a few markers.

Bonus points if you complete the course in the right order.
