That’s a lot of 29ths.
Santry Ave - I can’t stand driving or running down it. Think I’ve only run it once actually, during the Clonliffe Christmas Cracker, with mister paul in hot pursuit.
Nice week. You’re a patient man.scotindublin wrote: »Great week and great patience with the recovery it will be worth it in the long run.
It's as much necessity as patience lads. Fitness fell through the floor over that 5 month period. Need to do a bit more work before stretching the legs too much....0 -

I suppose I better do some sort of update here but I have no intention of listing out 2 weeks of mostly easy runs. Suffice to say that fitness is gradually improving and the capped HR easy runs are getting ever so slightly faster. The past 2 weeks were both 6 days of running totalling 46 and 47 miles. The only runs of any note for me were getting the long run to HM distance for the first time since last May, an easy run where I ended each of the 7 miles with 90 secs at 10 mile pace and a little 4 mile progression from 8:40 down to 8 min miles. I can't be accused of rushing things :pac:
In other news the recent cold snap has me converted to wearing leggings :eek: All it took was a little bit of thought...we all warm up, many people use heat balms on muscles before races for the simple reason that cold muscles are more susceptible to injury. I've had enough injury without inviting more. Oh and its just much more comfortable
In other other news my beloved Gliderides have passed 600 miles and are one run away from 1,000km. There really is practically no sign of wear and I'd not be surprised to reach 1,000 miles in them. They have to be the most durable shoe on the market. The guidesole which is very similar to the endorphin speedroll sole may contribute to less friction on landing but thats only a guess. It might just be that it's a very durable rubber on the outsole :pac:
In other other other news the government has today decided to increase fines for international travel and to remove inter county GAA from the list of elite sports which are exempt from level 5 restrictions. The lunatics really have taken over the asylum and prospects for races aren't great if all this tightening of restrictions is anything to go by. If we hadn't spent centuries taking it up the ars* from the British we might be getting close to French or Dutch style protests.0 -

Ah S, it's all relative but I don't think your slow runs are slow enough for such a drastic measure. I have one pair of tights myself, it's been in the back of the drawer for four years now. I genuinely don't think it ever gets cold enough for them in our temperate zone. Hat, gloves, long sleeves, yes, tights, never!
All my Man Utd, Dublin and cycling heroes wear leggings training in the winter months. It's just the sensible thing to do. There are far better ways of proving ones manliness 0 -
