DCM Class of 2011- the continuing challenge

Thanks Ecoli. Quick question I am struggling with the stride running a mixture of weather and no where to do them over the last few weeks. I really want to get quicker I feel like I only have the one gear.

If I was to play soccer on a Wednesday would this be the same as strides. Probably a stupid question.

Very true. My runs are done around a block which is fairly busy in the evening I suppose I could go to a football pitch but the closest one to me has no lights. Maybe it might be easier now the evenings are getting longer.

I could always do them after football note to self don't be so lazy and get out and do it, stop making excuses.:)

One bad run does that your head.

ecoli i have a few things on this weekend and was going to do my 75min run on wednesday. Anyway thing is i think i will miss one run or will have to do 5 days in a row. Did that last week and it nearly killed me. So my question is which session is best to leave out.... one of the 5milers??

Thanks ecoli, will try functional training in the next couple of weeks

Having a good week this week. Running is much easier when things are going right. Got 2 good sessions in so far. Hoping to go for my first mountain run on Saturday going to do either a 10k or a half marathon race in the Sileve Blooms mountain on Easter Sunday just to try something different. Anyone any words of wisdom on what to expect.

Well just back from the half 8 kettlebell class and boy did I feel it so glad I went as really needed kick start like that class to get my ass back in gear since the marathon.instructors there very nice - couldn't get over big crowd and how I had never heard of class before.


Presume you live about Navan so if you ever want any company for run def let me know - can pass on my mob no to you.I live in Kells.I ended up doing marathon as group called Meath marathon group who would meet up at about 1/4 to 9 every sar morn for long runs encouraged me - very nice gang.we are hoping to meet up sat morn again in new yr so def join us.can let you know night before if they head out for run - and group is different levels.

Its actually this evening & tomorrow that you will feel the effects of the class:eek:...but a gentle run is actually the best way of stretching out the muscles....i'll be back next week to class but i go to 7.30 class as i go on my way home from work....

I would definitely be interested in meeting up some of the Saturdays, i live 12 miles outside Navan but its only a 20min spin in!!!! I would love company on a run as i only ever train on my own and think it would do me good to make sure i'm running a conversational pace when I'm suppose to!!!

Am def feeling pain in legs today - going up stairs was a struggle def come along sat morn.the group doesn't get back into proper swing till march but got txt last fri from few people asking if anyone was interested in running sat morn.before the marathon there was a group of about 10 plus heading out religiously at quarter to 9 every sat morn and we did our 16 - 20 mile runs.great company - we met at ramparts in Navan and on wed we did speed work at track in Navan.paddy our trainer from Dublin was lovely.there was a nice dinner and night out in Navan with the gang in Navan after marathon and we all travelled up to marathon on mini bus. you are taking it easy at the mo which you should do but will def txt ya nxt time I am heading out with gang for run.see that you are thinking of doing cork mar.i am def gona do it so be nice to have a run buddy for the long runs esp coming up to marathon.girl in our gang who did long runs with us didn't do Dublin but she wants to do cork as well.I will msg my no to you - might do earlier class thurs nxt week with kettle bells - see how running week goes - was gona go for run around Navan and then to class - will see how lazy I am nxt week :€
