Getting her pregnant was a well thought out plan, theroadrunner can vouch for that, I told him the plan months ago, and that was if I have another kid I'll get another 5 years of work*
and can concentrate on good training(stay at home dad)
Ha Ha. Congrats to you and the OH.
Yes I can vouch that this was a well laid (hmm hmm
) plan. At the time and even now I wasn't too sure if the Mrs had been consulted You didn't surprise her and sabotage her in any way now did you ?
Congrats again.0 -

Had a very informative session with Tingle, see here, def learned alot and can add it to my schedule.
After that I headed up to Dunshaughlan for the 10k, the plan originally was to get under 42 and get as close to 40 as possible. The other things I wanted to try for this race was 1/to try and eat before a race(couple of hours) and 2/ to start of slow and work in to it.
I now know for a 100% that eating before races does not suit me, don't know how many times I swallowed my own vomit during the race and am happy enough not to try again. Regarding starting slower, this I did 6'42 for the 1st mile compared with 6'16 for a 5 miler last week. 6'46 for mile 2, started to feel unwell here and ral3 went passed me and tried to get me going but I had made my mind up I was done and I didn't really mind in the least, so I started to slow down the pace and the next few mile splits were 7'36, 7'43 and 8'05 then I picked it up knowing the end was in sight and ran 8'20 for the last 1.2 miles.
Overall I'm happy, great course and I'll be back next year, got to meet alot of people, which I'm really enjoying doing oh and it was still a pb by 9 mins
finish time 45'12
consecutive days running 4, distance 25.15
Thanks again to Tingle and everyone who turned up for the session, it was excellent.0 -
Well done on the PB but if I'm honest I would have skipped the race if I were you. You probably stretched muscles you didn't even realise you had this afternoon and injury can very easily follow fatigue. Having said that I have done similar things in the past so ignore at your discretion 0

This is what will make me sound more stupid, they had no brown bread rolls left, so I went with a white bread roll with my usual ham,cheese,tomatoe and egg. Not the best choice but I wasn't really thinking that far ahead.
I saw a guy in your club colours so I said hello, he was parked beside me and I don't thik he could believe his eyes, seeing me an hour and a half before the race munching on this roll. Nice chap, Mike was his name,english bloke.
Roadrunner your dead right I should have given it a miss, I'm so stiff and I didn't think I did anything too strenous.0 -
Not the best food choice :rolleyes:.
I find for a session or a race I need to leave 3hrs and keep the food quite neutral, non acidic and nothing that would promote bowl movements (high fibre, beans, eggs).
If it's a morning run it's porridge and a banana, if it's the 2nd or 3rd meal of the day it's plain pasta or non wheat cereal with a small amount of milk and if I'm out and about it's something like oat cookies or flapjacks.
Mike's a nice chap alright and getting back into form - did he try to sell you anything? 0 -
I was very stiff today but said I would go out for 4 or 5 but once out mile by mile I got quicker and loosened up and ended up doing 7. I'm going to try and replace my 5 mile runs with 7 mile runs. I'm heading to Wexford on Tuesday so I have the perfect route for this Hook to Duncannon where I'll get the wife and kids to meet me and hopefully the good weather will continue and allow me to have a dip in the sea. My training tends to suffer when I go to Wexford through being lazy but not this time

Strides today? Do you not think you'd benefit more from them if you did them at the end of the sesh, as tergat says? I initally thought they should be done as you did today, but that post explained it well thast they should be done in one set at the end, feeling relatively comfortable.
Just a thought and keep up the good work 0 -

THey can be done during as i used to do this also as can help simulate a change of pace during your running and as long as you keep them relatively easy so dont take anything out of you.0 -

Good question, I normally do them both ways throughout my marathon cycle but today I planned to run a couple of fast miles in between but after half a mile I knew that was out of the question but I still wanted to add sth along the way so I decided on the strides, I go every 0.93 miles and wait till the watch beeps to mark a mile and I must say doing them as I did today really adds to your concentration which I need. Keep up the good work yourself, how you finding the no or little rest days?
I personally am loving it and out of the last 22 days I've only had 2 days off, I plan my next day off to be next Monday0 -
