    Its been 5 weeks (?) since taper began so iam getting a bit anxious to start back following a regular plan. going to go for a speed session with the local club on tuesday i think to see what thats all about. did a few strides yesterday after a brisk 4miler and i think i am good to go but will continue to monitor as the week goes on.


    (table worked!)

    Can i ask why we are skipping week 2? at the end of week 4 he recommend a race and i think a few have signed up for Jingle Bell on 3rd Dec which fits in at the end of the 4 weeks....just wondering??

    Simply because you are two weeks out from the Marathon. Your body should feel recovered enough to the point where you are able to resume mid mileage low intensity

    The aim will be to include some very light 5k paced work the week before Jingle Bells just to introduce your legs to running at this pace before you shock the body with the race


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,883 ✭✭✭Younganne


    Thanks Ecoli, that make sense, i was just wondering in todays run how i would manage to run faster after all this slow easy running!! I enjoyed the faster paced miles today.

    400m intervals are a classic session although at this time of the year there will be some clubs doing Fartlek type runs which are basically X min hard running usually follow by the same easy jogging in between reps.

    What club are you going to?

    Probably those same hills then. That one you see them use in bootcamp and the one up to the hurling pitches. After the rain on Friday it was a bit of a mud fest too. When it gets to the part where you dig deep and go "hey...you can do this" my head was like "Ehhhhh, I'm closed for business". Just didnt have the mentality for it :(

    Course sounds different - 2 horrible ones last year crossing over the Kyber and up to cricket grnds (or some sports grounds) and then a mud one out of the lower furry glen. Either way I'm sure both years were as "interesting" as each other!
    I made a mess of last years one and had hoped to gain revenge this year. I'll have to park it till next year I think.

    Good on you for running it and getting around. I can't imagine it would be easy a couple of weeks after a marathon.

    Went for my maiden speed session with the local running club. We did 8x400m (90sec recovery) with 2 mile warmup and 2 mile warm down. I was fecked but really enjoyed it. There was some serious runners there. Ive no idea what times i was doing. The lead guys were low 70's i think and i was a good 8sec? or so off them depending. Really brings home the standard of "good" club runners.

    15/11/11|4m|0:37:25|370|. |. |9:19|. |felt really good on this run although leg still bit niggly, nearly there :)

    Have to get myself a garmin so I can work out mile splits! Won't get out tonight so tomorrow it is.
    On another note since starting running I have lost no weight so have been struggling to see the changes. I went up to the Hell Fire club with the family for a walk on Sunday and one of my daughters decided she was way too tired to walk anymore, she's almost 8 and no one wanted to carry her. I put her on my back and strolled up the hill side, not a bother!!! Was delighted with myself, so there's where my training has gone. Must add I'm only 5' 1" and all other adults there were 6' plus :D

    Thanks for setting up the table Anne, wouldn't have a clue myself!

    Had my first run today with my new garmin. How did I ever do a marathon without it:). Who ever knew I could run a mile in a little over then 8 minutes.

    Bloody hell Olympics here I come:D.

    Is anyone else finding the third run in a row very tough on the legs.

    Can't believe how far down our thread has fallen!

    Nothing new to report just wanted to bump us up. How is everyone else going with their running? Starting to feel normal again?

    Only 2 weeks left to Jingle Bells, am running it with my 12 year old so won't be racing, just as well don't think I'm up to that yet. Think the Raheny 5 mile will be perfect timing to race again, really want to get a good time in that one :)


    We must have been posting same time Dave but you get on first!

    Which garmin did u get? Still undecided on which one to go for. Am leaning towards 210, like the 305 but tried my brothers and it felt HUGE on my wrist.

    I've a 205 (same as 305 but without heart monitor). Felt like a brick when I first got it but honestly don't even notice any more. Love/hate relationship with my garmin...but I wouldn't be without it!

    Cutex I got the forerunner 110 its basic but it will do the job. I think its perfect my friend got the 310, I thought it was just to big looking. The 110 is perfect on your arm.

    Got it for 100 euro on wiggle. They have a deal on if you spend over 100 you get 15 euro off


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,585 ✭✭✭Nules10


    I have the forerunner 110 too. Its basic but fine. Not sure if its any good for intervals though. but to be honest i make do with it. And 100e is a great price for it. Dave have you had a sports massage sine the marathon i had one yesterday and my run today went great. might just help to loosen them out. I am going again next week as my injury still needs a bit of sorting out.

    Nules not didn't have one yet I was thinking about it but I was just going to leave it until before Waterford. But maybe that would be the way to go alright they do feel very tight. Good thinking Nules. How is training coming along all set to break the record.
