That was a typo!!!
Well done
Thank you Steroo, it was a good typo though, I laughed when I saw it because shuffling up the Hell of the West, it very nearly was a case of How didn't it go
That's a super time on that course!!! Good on ya. Knew you'd do well. Can't wait to hear all the details! Recover well
Thanks A Report to follow. Recovery is going very well, I'm getting good at this recovery business and the bath has never been used more often.Congrats on the pb!
Thank you C, mind you it's a very light PB. In the one and only stand alone marathon that I've done before, I did 3:59:58 and I only shaved 40 seconds off that so I'm making a good hand at not knocking too much off the target.Ah excellent stuff, well done on the pb on a tough course!
Thank you Diego, not a patch on your Tralee marathon thoughAnnie get your Run wrote: »Only you could pull a PB out of the bag on a marathon, in the Connemara hills, two weeks after the Mamturks Challenge!!!! Well done Neady #legend !!!
Now, race report please

Cheers JB. It's a light PB of only 40 seconds but sure I can't complain considering I saw it slipping away at one point.0 -
Congrats on the PB, Neady!!! That's some going from you... after the Race and the Maamturks!!! Brilliant.
Cheers Anna, I feel like the last 8 weeks have been one cycle of recovery and tapering
It's been fun though.Brilliant going once again, Neady. When the chips were down you came up with the goods as usual. And we're not surprised!
Thanks P, that means a lot. Connemara is one gawd dang b**ch of a course but it's oh so prettyWell done again on your great run Neady! So impressive to be able to tough it out like you did. Thanks for the company on the run, and sorry you had to run the hardest part alone!
Thank you Nop, for your company, friendship and motivation. It was a pleasure to run with you and I'm sorry I couldn't help with your cramps - I said it already but there's a serious marathon PB in you if you can get to the bottom of the cramps 0 -
Sunday April 23rd
Connemarathon: 26.2 miles in 3:59:16 (42second PB)
My watch recorded the distance as 26.33miles so my splits are not accurate – I think the watch was a little ahead by the 9 mile mark for the first 8 are good.
First half: 8:33, 8:29, 8:35, 8:34, 8:37, 8:27, 8:42, 8:26, 8:37, 8:24, 8:27, 8:40, 8:42
Nop98, Nops two friends and I headed for Oughteraard in the AM and were on the bus and heading for Lough Inagh before we knew it. We overtook the Ultra runners as they were headed in the same direction that we were. We hopped off the bus at 10:10 so only had 20 minutes to kill before the off. I was in serious need of the loo so I darted off to tend to that. Discarded my top and bottoms, met up with Rachel, introduced her to Nob and very quickly we were looking for the 4:00 pacer. One of the things I like about Connemara is that the crowds aren’t massive so everything is a little more hassle free
Before the off, we got to see the first three or four Ultra runners absolutely tare through the crowd (under Garda escort) and they were treated to a guard of honour with lots of clapping from the marathon runners on either side of the road. Truly spectacular to see the pace they were going at with a full marathon still ahead of them.
Rachel, Nop and I lined up a bit back from the pacer and without any fanfare, we were off. The three of us settled into a comfortable pace at the back of the 4 hour pacing group. Mind you we did note almost immediately that we were going a bit too fast for 4 hour pace. Nop and I wondered what the pacing strategy of the pacers was but we figured that the pace would settle down once we met the first incline. As it turns out it didn’t.
Rachel had some stomach issues so she had to make a pit stop around mile 7 and unfortunately, she wasn’t able to re-join us. Nop and I chatted away but also ran in a very comfortable silence. Every now and then we’d ask each other how the other was feeling. We worked well together, taking it turns to get water at the water stations. We chatted a few times about whether we should stay with the pacers even though they were going too fast but decided to stay with them for shelter (4 hours pace is 9:08/mile, they were going at least 30 seconds faster per mile). Perhaps a mile from Leenane, we slowly let them slip away from us, I was definitely feeling that the pace was too hot for me and was beginning to wonder if the pace was going to bite me on the ass or if I really needed that buffer for the hills ahead. We got to Leenane, the half way point with approximately 6/7 minutes of a buffer and still the 4 hour pacers nowhere in sight. The support in Leenane was incredible.
Second half: 9:16, 9:37, 8:48, 9:17, 9:44, 9:23, 9:24, 9:40, 10:13, 11:26, 9:06, 9:16 (3:00)
And so the real marathon began. Nop very wisely suggested we cool the pace and conserve our energy as we had a nice buffer so we did – it didn’t make the hill out of Leenane much easier though It’s always encouraging to see the St. Johns ambulance half way up a tough hill just in case you need it . I think this hill took quite a lot out of my legs as it started the ball rolling on the pace coming down.
Everything is a bit mushy in my brain from here on in so apologies for the lack of detail. At each water station from here, I was grabbing a bottle of water and guzzling it as I was really thirsty – I think I drank 2ltrs of water in all. My tummy was starting to get a dodgy and I was arguing with myself about whether I’d continue taking the Powerbar jellies – I negotiated taking one every 20 minutes instead of two every half hour and it settled down a bit.
At this point, Nop couldn’t get a word out of me. On another hill he was telling me that we still had a nice buffer so if we could just keep to our prescribed 4 hour pace, we’d be on the pigs back. I distinctly remember him saying “no arguments from you, that’s good” or something to that effect – thank you Nop, you were incredibly encouraging but I was starting to really feel it.
More rolling hills, some guy who had much too much pep in his step was asking if we’d seen the 4 hour pacers, they’re miles ahead of us and ahead of schedule says I. He mentioned something about staying with us – I really hoped he wouldn’t, I hadn’t the energy to listen to him never mind respond to him. He pushed on.
Nop mentioned that he was starting to feel a cramp. We persevered. From Leenane on, my right foot was cramping and scrunching up every 20 minutes or so I was battling with that and now it was happening to the left foot. This was all completely new to me. Never had foot cramps before but luckily was able to relax and run them out.
And then there were more hills, I was shuffling up one particular hill. Nop was by my side but then he wasn’t – the cramp he felt earlier needed to be stretched. There was nothing I could do and I was too far gone before I realised he was no longer with me. I was hoping that he’d catch me on the downhill on the other side as he was stronger than me on the down hill all day.
Before long I was turning right at Maam and starting the climb up the Hell of the West. I was passing half marathoners and walkers. As the climb got steeper, I was getting slower and slower and the cramps in my feet were coming more frequently. The further up the hill I got, there were more and more people walking and all I wanted to do was walk. Checked my watch and knew if I could just keep shuffling that I might just sneak in under 4. Berated myself for not coming out one weekend and running up the hill, I had completely forgotten just how long it is. Finally finally I reached the top with 21 minutes to go. If I put the foot down I could run 2.2 miles in 21 minutes. Lots of people at the top clapping, I couldn’t thank them but gave them a very lack lustre thumbs up.
Ran as fast as I could, which wasn’t very fast, for the line – but I did give it everything, there was nothing left in the tank. I swear to god, that .2 of a mile after the 26 mile sign felt like the longest .2 of a mile I’d ever run. Fell over the line. Legs in serious agony, stumbled to get my t-shirt and found an upside down plastic sign on the gravel that I could lie on and put my feet up on a barrier in an effort to get the blood flowing back into my legs and try to curb the pain. Don’t know how long I stayed there before I managed to get myself to my feet and shuffle out to the finish line.
Met Nop, we hugged and congratulated each other. Disappointment for Nop (still an cracking time for Conn) but he would have nailed his target if it weren’t for the cramps. I was in a right hoop, I’d never experienced pain in my calves like I did standing up there – sorry Nop, I’m usually not that much of a moaner after a race. We grabbed our bags, sat down to change and my tummy was in bits. Got on the bus and took my t-shirt out of the bag to use the bag in case of emergency. Luckily I held it in but felt green getting off the bus in Oughterard. Poor Nop and his friends had to get me tea to settle me down. It worked a treat. Thanks guys.
It’s only a 42 second PB so next time I need to do better but I’m glad it’s done as I really wasn’t sure how this would go after my recent escapades. My god, you forget just how hard 26.2 miles really is, it’s a distance that commands serious respect and Connemara is brutal but very very beautiful. I set out 5 goals for 2017 and that’s three of those done. Happy dayz 0 -

Deadly. But, to put your time in context, your old pb was run on a much easier course after a reasonable taper. Contrast that with Conn, which is mountainous and was 2 weeks after winning a mountain rallenge. At a guess I'd say you'd be 10-15mins faster on the DCM course.
With 3/5 targets achieved already, does that mean you'll be putting the feet up for the second half of the year?

Thank you as always AM. Well seen as you asked, in the house I rented until last year, we did have too kerosene contaminations Maybe the lack of kerosene in the water is doing me good Excellent report as always, re: Tralee in comparison to Connemara you would say it is a flat as a pancake!
Thanks Diego, might be tempted by Tralee next year. Nice doing a marathon in your backyard isn't it? Takes the stress out of it.hillsiderunner wrote: »Well done Neady, great performance so soon after your mountain race. Take it easy for a few days before the next block of training
Thanks so much HSR. Indeed I am very much resting up this week. Really enjoying your progress with all of your training in the hills these days. Quite jealous as I love that area around Glencoe.Deadly. But, to put your time in context, your old pb was run on a much easier course after a reasonable taper.

Thanks you C, I appreciate that. One of my goals for this year is a 3:45 Autumn marathon so maybe that could be a reality.
.... don't you know it, there's all sorts of madness being added to the plan for this year alreadyNice running and enjoyable report! Must work "in a hoop" into a future race report myself
Thank you Singer, appreciate that. I've plenty of other West Clareisms that you could work into you reportsWell done Neady.
To get a PB on such a tough a course as Conn is a fantastic achievement.
Cheers Jake, it's a small PB but I won't complain 0 -

Well done again on the PB, Neady... you make the marathon sound much tougher than what I think of as your much more impressive challenges...
Thanks Anna. I know it sounds mad but I do find the marathon really tough even compared to the longer races.
In the longer races, you go through ups and downs and you know that the low point will pass at some stage so you focus on that to get you through. In the marathon, you have to push through the pain until the end - stopping isn't really an option. I find it more of a challenge.Bungy Girl wrote: »Well done, Neady! You're one tough cookie.

Monday April 24th
3.1miles recovery @ 10:26/mi (32minutes)
Lunch time run in the sun – legs not as stiff as anticipated after running Conn. I think walking around in the cold water in Salthill after the marathon definitely helped.
Tuesday April 25th
30 minutes S&C
Many heel drops and I rolled the calves and quads for 5 minutes each – hopefully it’s getting rid of the last of the lactic acid.
Circuits: 7 stations @ 3x100secs
I really need to log these after the session because I can’t remember them otherwise. There were a few lung exercise but I just went light on everything and coach Dave was happy to let me off the hook.
Wednesday April 26th
Rest
Up and down to Dublin for work so no time to squeeze in anything. Bit stiff when I got off the bus at either end.
Thursday April 27th
30 minutes S&C
More rolling the quads and calves – everything is returning to normal.
Circuits 6 stations @ 4x90 secs each
Mostly upper body stuff so it worked well. On the final set on the last station, clean & press, my friend Sharon, who I pair up with every week, dropped the dumb bells and roared out in pain. She put her back out and was in the most agony I’ve seen a person in for quite a while. Enda, the instructor was great, cool and calm and got her to walk even though she wanted to lie down. She was doubled over in agony the poor mite. I walked her to the doc on campus and he gave her an injection, anti-inflammatories and pain killers.
She’s much better now and the physio says the problem is that she has a weak core and left glutes so it’s impacting her back. A real lesson on how easy it is to injury yourself and how important core work is.
Friday April 28th
4.2miles @ 9:50/mi (42mins)
Nice and easy around the pitches in Dangan before work. Took a half day from work to head for Castletownbere in West Cork for the annual Mountain Hares weekend of adventure
Saturday April 29th
Hike: Hungry Hill/Derryclancy/Coombane & Ardigole Mountains: 7ish hours on the hills
We hit off nice and early to head up Hungry Hill, taking in some of the Beara Way. It’s a nice rocky climb with ample opportunity for some decent scrambling. This was very handy hiking with lots of breaks as we had a mixed group. We got shelter on the Northern side of the mountain but when we were forced to pop out on top, we were blown by a nice gale.
We had timed it just right that we would summit Coombane to see the third stage of the Rally of the Lakes come over the Healy Pass. What a treat to sit for 20 minutes and watch the cars negotiate the hair pin bends of the pass – we most definitely had the best views of the day. We descended from there to our hostel in Ardigole but not before doing some very fun bush whacking.
Sunday April 30th Brick: Roadie: 71km with 675m of elevation (3hrs20)
After a very late night, Frank and I took the road bikes out to explore some of the Beara peninsula. The plan was to do an 80km circuit that would take in the Healy Pass. Unfortunately, we made a mistake with our navigation and took the road out of Castletownbere that brought us to the Western tip of Bere where the cable car goes to Dursey Island instead of heading North to Eyeries.
As we weaved along the coast, we were treated to the most spectacular views, we revelled in making the mistake that we did as we were loving the views and the climbs not to mention zero traffic on the roads. There were some nice long climbs that would surprise you at the top as you wouldn’t know whether mountains or coast would be revealed, it was unbelievably pretty. We met a man on a bike herding a sheep and her two gorgeous lambs down the road
We were also treated to some tourists as we summited one of the toughest climbs of the day … they’d obviously seen the Tour De France as two of them came running along side us with water bottles shouting “allez allez”. It gave us a bit of a giggle. I was a bit goosed from cycling so I suggested to Frank that we head back to the hostel and we could go for a run up the Healy pass instead of cycling it.
I’d highly recommend this are for some cycle training. Coaches and HGVs are not allowed on these roads so they’re extremely quiet and they offer some great hills and views.
8.7miles @ 9:25/mi (1hr 22 & 300m)
A very quick change and we were heading out the door and up the Healy pass. Our hostel was at the very foot of the hill so we were climbing as soon as we turned out the gate. With my jelly legs, I wasn’t sure I’d make it too far but they soon loosened out though the going was slow. We were aiming for the white statue on top of the pass, which is quite near as the crow flies but it’s actually 4 and a bit miles of winding roads to the top.
Half way up we were passed by a farmer in an old Massey Ferguson. He pulls in front of us and comes down off the tractor - I told Frank that I thought he might give us a scolding for running on this road. He stands right in our way and Frank goes around but he grabbed my hand to shake it and then proceeded to give me the Spanish inquisition. Are ye tourists? Where are ye from? Are ye married? Do you have a partner? Any children? What age are you. He then tells me that his mother got married at my age and went on to have seven kids, so I’m at a good ol age. Then a great big hug, a few kind words and he sent us on our way. I’m looking around the place for a hidden camera and Frank is pi**ing himself laughing.
That distracted me until we made it to the top, took a few seconds to enjoy the view and headed back down against a nice old wind. Our farmer was still there but had stopped a car to chat to the people in it. About two miles down the road, our farmer passed us again and turns off to the right. He jumps out of the ditch just as we’re passing and stops us again for another chat. Such a nice man who was obviously just looking for some company, I’d say the tourists love him – maybe Bord Failte are paying him. The owner of the hostel later told me that John Joe has made a few marriage proposals to tourists on the Healy pass Ya can’t bate Ireland.
Totals for the week:
2.5 hours running (16miles)

Echm yeah... very relaxed!! I think you need to re-read your own entry. Am in stitches laughing at the farmer :D I can only imagine how that conversation would have gone if it had been me rather than you, we are not used to that carry on at all in the city!! I'm putting Beara on my list of places to cycle, have driven it in a car and can imagine how stunning it is on the bike! 0 -

Monday May 1st
4.7miles recovery @ 10:20/mi (48minutes)
Up and out early for one last run along by the water at Ardigole before heading back to Galway. Legs felt heavy and tired from yesterdays run up the hill.
Tuesday May 2nd
Rest. Was supposed to be circuits but I woke up feeling really tired. Figured a rest day today would have me going well for the rest of the week.
Wednesday May 3rd
3miles @ 11:12/mi (34mins)
After work run with Kieran and I was still quite tired so didn’t do any extra mileage on my own.
Thursday & Friday, May 4th & 5th
More unplanned rest. Still feeling really tired. I guess the last few weeks of racing is catching up with me. Really craving getting back to a proper routine of training in the mornings when I have my energy and appetite for it back.
Saturday May 6th
Gaelforce Connemara Adventure Race: Trail/Mountain run/mountain bike/kayak/run (2hrs 30mins)
This is a lesson on how not planning for a race back fires.
An old school friend, Edel, asked me if I’d do this race with her as she’s been out of the game for a few years due to injury and personal reasons. How better to kick start this adventuring craic than with a weekend in Galway and a day out in Connemara. I registered but didn’t really look at the course in detail, the break down of disciplines or any of the usual precision planning I usually do. This was going to be a fun event and my first time doing one of these kind of adventure races.
I put my bivi bag, whistle, a light waterproof jacket and two nakd bars in my backpack as figured that’d do me for two hours on the go. We dropped our bikes to the transition and loosed up the legs on the walk back to Delphi. We decided that we’d do this one together so we lined up at the back of the field and headed down the road from Delphi adventure centre on the first section which was on road. 2 and a bit miles in we turned right onto a trail, the Western Way, and we were climbing straight away. Edel insisted that I push on so I did and was really quite enjoying the trail (decided that this trail running business is definitely for me). I was catching people from the off and my competitive spirit was emerging even though I was telling myself that this was one to go easy on. I have fond memories of this trail from the Western Way last year though we were heading up hill instead of down this time around.
After about six miles we had to dib in and I made the unfortunate mistake of looking up. There was a mountain in front of us with people dotted all the way up. WTF, why didn’t I look at the dang race profile and breakdown a bit more closely. Anyway, up up and away we went, I caught 7 or 8 lads on the way up and I was gasping with the thirst while starting to feel my energy fade. Giving out to myself for not bringing water or jelly beans that I could eat on the move, stuffing a dry nakd bar into my mouth was not helping the situation. Regardless, I was really enjoying myself …. Until we were heading down the other side of the mountain and I remembered that I had road runners and not trail runners on. I forgot to change them when we arrived. Fail to prepare and prepare to fail as I slid down the hill mostly on my arse
Spotted a girl in transition and that spurred me on to grab my bike and go. Took another girl half a km from transition before we turned onto the trial proper. There was lots of loose gravel on the trail so though I had the mountain bike and felt much safer than those on the road bikes looked, the handling was tricky on the sharp turns. I was going hammer and tongs and loving it, took another few lads on the bike and felt sorry for three or four people stopped with punctures on their roadies. After 7km we were back on road and I fully expected to be passed by loads of road bikes but to my relief I was catching bikes as only two weeks earlier I had run this road and knew were to give it welly and where to hold back.
On the last climb I spied a girl up ahead and aimed to catch her, which I did just before transition. Dumped the bike and took off on a cross country 1.5km run to the kayak section. Legs like absolute jelly and not cooperating at all – be grand, they’ll get a break in the kayak. I caught a guy and I asked if he’d kayaked before, he had, grand says I to myself, you’ll do as my kayak partner. The girl I passed on the bike came up on us and I let her off, I had my kayak partner right here. Get to the water and there’s no kayak - they cancelled it because of the weather (water was like a sheet of glass but anyway). Me and my buddy are disappointed and I’m raging that they didn’t tell us at the bike transition.
Set my eyes on the girl I’d let by and pushed up the hill to catch her, she was walking when I got to her so I told her to get going again and we’d finish it together, she mustered a jog for 200m but had to stop again. 5th girl home and second fastest girl up the mountain.
Disappointed with myself that I didn’t prepare better and decide from the off that I’d race it. Should really get my ass in gear and I might have a chance of a podium at these gigs.
Sunday May 7th
2.8miles @ 13:07/mi (37mins)
Went out for a recovery jog with the best of intentions but just couldn’t muster the energy to run so I walked a bit around the city.
Totals for the week:
3.75 hours running
0.75 hours MTB
Lets chalk this down to recovery 0 -

Brilliant, Neady. I love reading your log. Its well named as you seem to have Adventure wherever you go.
Jury is still out on the Clare Burren, i need to raise it with the race committee.
(I'll ask her at the weekend).
Thanks P Glad you're enjoying it. I loved Castletownbere so much I'm dragging Kieran there for a holiday later in May
Hope you got a pass for the Burren. There may be a silly o clock mountain bike before it if you're interested?
Are you in Ballina this weekend? Kieran is running it and I'm tacking on a few miles to make it a long run.Love your Healy Pass encounters Neady, such a beautiful place too!
Thanks Anna, it's almost as beautiful as Donegal 0 -

Thanks AM, I gave it socks when I decided to go for it but I guess I'm lacking in a bit of confidence to line up at the front of these races and race from the start.
I've heard nothing but good things about Moxie, not over priced, excellent course and a fantastic atmosphere. Have you decided on which distance yet?0 -

Yeah it was recommended by another clubmate who does AR's, she's doing it too and hopefully fletch also. The 3 distances are the same price so I was thinking 36km to get some value for money I will go and do a recce of the 8K hill run before I decide though. These are the guys I did the kayaking on Blessington Lake with

I know Linda O' Connor who races with Moxie and she's always saying how great the lads are.
You have until July 13th to enter. Why not do another month of training, head out and do Black Hill and Sorrel Hill, cycle the route and then make a call on the distance? I think you'd be well able for the Pro
Next up is the IMRA Wicklow Way Race on June 10th. I've a mad plan to collect ITRA points and enter the draw to do the CCC in France next year (though realistically, it could take 3 years to get the call). The WW is worth 5 points and Enduro suggested that the WW is a straightforward way of getting a few points so I'll give it a go though I'm not sure I've 130km in me just yet. No harm in trying I guess 0 -
