So who's going to be at the k club on Saturday? And what are your goals? I'm going but not expecting much due to a disgraceful lack of running in the last few weeks. I have a list of excuses but I won't bore you with them. Anyway, my hopes of a sub 50 are gone and I'll be happy with 55. I ran 52 in a training run pre marathon but my only official 10k time is the women's mini marathon in 2013 which I did in 79 minutes so I'm pretty much guaranteed a pb!
We'll have to meet up after the race. I think there's tea and cakes!
Hi Guys,
I have signed up for the SPAR 10K in the PP this Saturday, so can't do the K Club as well unless I meet Micheal J Fox in his Delorean
.
Really looking forward to this race, last 2-3K are tough (steep hills), but hopefully I am shaping up for a PB (49:10 or better), as I have been doing a bit over the past few weeks, including the Naas Duathlon and a nice few 10-12K runs....fingers crossed.
Best of luck to anyone doing the K Club race ......enjoy the Tea and Cakes....hmmmm ....cakes :pac::pac::pac:0 -

Doing the K Club as well. I am a disgrace when it comes to running lately, have been very up and down with training so just going along to get some race practice and see how I get on, first race since DCM :eek:. Have never done a 10k before so guarantee PB which is great
! Something around 55/56 would be great the way I have been going lately. See ye there! 0 -

Hi aquinn,
How are you these days? Hills v Flat.....Flat all the way, going to target my next Marathon in Holland
HOLLAND, Oh do tell, have you entered?
I was temped by the tweet from here at the weekend. Anyone fancy a Southern French 'break' in Nov?

We can do the relay option!
Yep, I will take the first 10K and then meet you all at the bar!! The 'Holland' Marathon was a gag (sooo flat there).....going to give the DCM another bash this year....sub 4 hour target....unfinished business etc etc. Legs have eventually recovered from DCM 14 and IT band sorted :-)
Seriously thinking of joining a gym for the first time ever for 6 months (Watlings Guinness Gym, 25M pool and small Gym), and really go nuts for a few months, Triathlons, HM's and then the DCM... mid life crisis here I come 0 -

Don't forget your Dualathons. I'm still pondering one of those.
Pool would be nice but not to be stuck in a stinky gym in this weather.
DCM again? 2016 is the year for that! 0 -
I wouldn't go for Triathalons at all. Maybe 10K's, HM's and DCM?
Much better!
Yeah, I am a bit hesitant about the swimming bit too, I did a bit in the pool today about 650 Metres (26 lengths), but mostly breast stoke, still struggling with the front crawl (breathing and swimming together). So my excursion in to the Triathlon scene may be one or two events and then back the 'day job' of running, as I would miss the auld running too much!
Duathlons are good crack and defo helps with improving your running by 15-20 seconds a KM (for me anyway), so they are worth looking at as another form of 'non impact' training if you have a niggle and want to exercise without pounding the pavement.

Best of luck tomorrow, save something for the second half of that race!So who's going to be at the k club on Saturday? And what are your goals?

Ha ha that's the best post race routine I've ever seen!! Lovely to meet you today & well done on your timeNo idea I'm afraid firedance! I'm still at the k club. Went to the spa after the race for a swim and jacuzzi and now I'm the bar! Now thats a post race routine I could get used to!
You'd think I'd done a great time to deserve it. Official time was 51.59 but I was a late starter and my watch says 51.32 so im going with that. Delighted to get under 52!
Thanks Adrian, will stick with recovery, what's the optimum recovery distance - would 4 miles be ok?0 -
