I should really have put in what i did on sunday in my last post.

Sunday

15 km in 1:28:56. It was a fairly flat course apart from the hill at the end of every 5 km. It was not a big hill, but 2-3 months of no running and the hill was like a mountain.

Monday

8 km in 47:04 I am amazed how quickly it gets dark when i am running in the evening, i dont really notice it getting dark. it's like someone turns of the light.

I am going to suss out some pilates classes for my days off. I never do core work and i think it i will be a great benefit to me. There is an open evening next week so i am going to go and give it a bash.

Todays run was 12 km, i wanted to keep my heart rate low < 155. As yesterdays avg Heart rate was 164 way to high for an easy run.i need to learn that not every training run needs to be an all out run. I acheived this, avg heart rate was 153.There was a hill at the end of the run which nearly killed me according to the garmin it is 58meter Gain. Last year i was running up it barely sweating. Hate Injuries they ruin what u have built up

.6 months time and i will be flying up it again

DISTANCE 12KM AVG PACE 6.21 TIME 1:16:27

FRI 13 JUN

5 km run. I really enjoyed this run nice and relaxing. Just a 5 km Loop round the the back roads of where i live. I didn't think i would get this run in as fri evening i was running about the place ( pardon the pun ) trying to get everything done before it got dark.

I must invest in some reflective running gear.

5 km avg pace 5:19 min/km

Today

I was out last night for a few pints of creamy Guinness, if i didn't have to get up early and drive to letterkenny i would not have made this run as i would have stayed there all night suppin.

8 km run today round the roads of Donegal. The in-laws have a lovely 10km route the circles around. I ran 4 km and turned around and came back. Happy with this run.

Legs feeling great now for the last few runs blisters all healed up.

8km run in 42:18 avg pace 5:17

17.01 km today average pace 5:43 km/ min.

I felt i could run all day at this pace. I started my run and after a few hundred meters i checked to see where my Heart Rate was and it was at 186. Now first thing that came into my head was i should be passed out on the kerb. I felt fine so i looked again after the first km and it was up on 191. I tried to fix the strap but couldnt so i just took it off. I will have to keep an eye on how i put the strap on next time.

Get in there just got a message from my FOOTMOB app walcott just after scoring. Why is this good news to a Man Utd Supporter. Well he is in my Fantasy Football team and i will take the lead in the league in work

I was meant to do some yoga yesterday but never got round to it. Must try harder.

Today i did 7 km avg 5:26 min / km. I felt really strong on this run until the last km. I forgot to my water bottle today before i left the house for work and only managed to put in 1-2 cups of water at lunch. So my hydration levels were poor.

I seen the bravest / stupiest thing on my run today. There was a guy walking two big huskie dogs and a woman with some small furball. As soon as the furball got close enough to the huskie dogs, it made a dart for them. Only that both owners had the dogs on a leash the furball would have been a light dinnear for the other two.

13 k today. It was a nice evening for it. I noticed that i was losing alot of time on the hills, so i concentrated on form when i was running up the hills high knees and pumping my arms. It worked a threat.

13 km in 1:14:43 avg 5:43 min/km avg heart rate 156

DULLAHAN2 · 22-01-2012, 14:50

Fri 20 Jan.

Just an easy 5 km. I started to get pains down the inside front of both my lower legs. I got these before so i knew how to treat it.

Sat 21 Jan.

7.2 km and the pain in my legs from the previous day was back but i wasnt worried about it. Then at 6 km it started to get worse and every step was painful. Decided to stop at 7.2 km incase i did any more damage and just massaged the areas later that night.

Sun 22 Jan.

Did 2 KM today legs still sore. Look's like i need to buy another pair of runners with more cushion and support. I 'll do that tomorrow and wont run till wednesday, but will keep massaging the sore area and hopefully i will be allright.
