Respect for how you played that, nonetheless.

Pizza is overrated.

Good Pizza is wonderful. However 99.7% of the pizza sold in Ireland is not good pizza. Far too bready and too many toppings.

Too much bread and too many toppings? You know you can just buy some tomato sauce and eat it...

Proper oven, homemade dough, decent homemade tomato base and good ingredients and pizza is fantastic. Alas "'twas caviare to the general" raised on freezer food and Dolmios etc

Dominos pizza is woeful. They can get it to me in 15mins or it's free. But only because the base is a soft doughy mess

I love domimos gf pizza. The goodfellas gf one i had last night was grand. Very thin base. Brian would have approved

Brian also never gets to comment on my boojum choices again

He believes burritos should be made with a wrap and that pizzas should be made with a wrap.

Consistency in a world gone mad.

Or maybe it's just Brian's mad?

Listen here. And listen here good. I hate "wraps". They're a shockingly poor substitute for a decent tortilla.

I don't believe burritos should actually be made. I love me some tacos. I've a Mexican friend who's changed my mind forever on burritos. A burrito is like a spice bag, it's something immigrants make to keep the local populace happy.







Love me a nice spice bag.

We'd have used every Italian name in existence before you'd be considered for a position as a ninja turtle.

My turtle name is Giovanni. Suck it.

Makes sense.

"Bring out Giovanni"

"Giovanni's sleeping"

"Well, then I guess you're gonna have to wake him up now, won't you?!"

Aidan Woods at Pearse St Physio (amd Tadhg O'Mahoney in there as well.

Also, Paul Opperman at Dublin Sports Clinic on Cumberland St, around the corner from The Gingerman. COH recommended him to me.

I have gone to Warwick Gordon in the IFSC a couple of times and find him very good. Works with the Irish powerlifting team so good knowledge on lifting related injuries (as im sure most physios do to be fair)

For some reason my local discount shop Mr Price has started stocking a massive range of protein bars. Some better macros than others but the range and price is good.

This is probably an incredibly dumb question but here goes.

So there's an endurance run (basically a 1km track and you do as many laps as possible in 2.5hrs or something, earning money for charity for each lap you do) coming up in 3weeks, in which I've entered for the craic.

It's been 2 years since I did any sort of regular running (in which time I've put on close to 20kg of weight, pretty much all muscle) so I know I'm going to be completely ****ed. However, my goal is 10k under an hour, with absolutely zero running training occurring before the race.

I'm allowed to walk but the dickhead inside me reckons walking for 2.5hrs is for pussies so I've just set this target arbitrarily.

Am I deluded if I think I can do 10k under an hour given my circumstances? My best 10k was 45~ before I stopped running and the pursuit of gains became my life's purpose, but I still think I'm fitter than the average joe.

What sort of things can I do on the day to make sure I don't die after 3km, other than a decent warm up?

Same as that in terms of best 10k time.

If I was in your position I'd just start at the 10 km/h pace and take it from there. You should be able to gauge intervals in a 1km track. If not, do the first 1k at a comfortable pace and maintain that. See how that feels from 5/6 k and if it's there, ease up the pace.

Some people are doing the angry rope thrashing near me and it's a lovely breeze

Last summer during the hot day, I happened to be doing C2 intervals and was facing some lad who was giving it socks on the spinning bike. He was devastated when I stopped

Summer in Ireland, my favourite day of the year!

Moving back to Dublin in a few weeks and am rejoining Hanley's gym as a result. I'm (literally) like a fat kid at a sweet shop, so excited!

I gave him carte blanche to do what he wanted with me. Double entendre entirely intended.
