There's a small pacing team at this event also for anyone looking to incorporate this as an MP run targeting sub 3:00/3:15/3:30/3:45/4:00.
The plan will be to run 2 miles easy / 10 miles at MP / 4+ miles easy.

Just content to trot around dry and bikeless

for 26.2k, the Porter/Beepbeep/Slogger triumverate is a good seal of approval, and its a very nice route.

I hope to give the 10k a lash. I'm following a P&D plan for DCM so this is timed nicely for one of the tune-up races. It'll be my first time racing since March so I expect it to come as a bit of a shock to the system.

If it's good enough for Kurt Godel, it's good enough for me. I'm in..

My plan is to run the first 120 furlongs at marathon pace (15.4 feet/second), and then just try to hang on for the remaining 2,112 yards.

Is this the same event as the "old" Moone Kilomarathon?

The Moone Kilomarathon is no more. The organizers are hosting an event this year, but are just focusing on the 10k distance (also taking place next Saturday). This event is organized by the Wicklow Hospice Foundation fundraising team and is taking place in Wicklow, near the Beehive pub, taking in an anti-clockwise loop near Brittas.

Ah ****e, I enjoyed it the last time I did it, can't do this one as I'll be away.

Those kilo marathons are great for marathon paced runs.

Tnx Krusty

Signed up for this. Looks like a testing route. Was going to to the 10k but think I'll give the longer run a lash and test out the marathon pace.

Great race this morning. We'll organised on a challenging course. Hopefully it becomes an established race in the future as the timing is perfect for Autumn marathons.
Would have struggled to do the planned 12 miles @ PMP on my own, ended up hitching a ride on the sub 3:15 pace train at the end to get in under 2 hrs for 13 miles @ PMP. Good to meet some familiar faces from these parts too.

Tidy finish well done

Great day for it. A good value race. Decent turn-out by the looks of it. The 2nd half had a few bumps in it. Managed to stay ahead of the pacer group, so I was happy with my morning.

One suggestion for improvement. If you are going to put water out, put it on a wall or something that is convenient for a runner going by. Some of the water bottles was still in its cling wrap on the grass on the opposite side of the road. Made one question yourself as to how much you wanted the water, to interupt your running flow to get it. Some of the water stops were manned which was a relief.

Fionnuala shown in kilo results. Thought she was only running 10k. Probably decided to take a longer training run

Ha. Ran at my own pace. Would happily take being beaten by an olympian.
