10 round numbers- How many of these can you run in 2014?

It's a track built on a compacted tiny gravel surface, I forget the type. It is around the college GAA and soccer pitch so it was the nearest size they could get. I think they did very well with the space the club had to work with. FairPlay to the club members that worked to get it together. It's a great facility and as I say that extra bit is what makes pb's!

Have you managed sub 5 yet?

So, poor times, good result.

Well, that's the 10 mile goal ticked off, though I'd like to have ran a little quicker (I think I repeat those words every time I post though!). Still, a PB is a sign of forward momentum. Race report here.

Worst case could always try and arrange a Boards time trial in the winter for anyone looking for a few of the track times (or just a bit of craic in general)

Beer before or after the 400m?

So we've had a few people trying to bluff their way to sub 60 400 off distance training (which is great to see), so I've been wondering will I be able to do the opposite. I believe its easier to move down to an unfamiliar distance than it is to move up but that doesn't mean I can't give it a try.

I managed a 4:53 in the decathlon 1500m on Sunday, and recovered surprisingly fast after. The sub 5 mile would require specific training which I won't be doing. But the sub 20 5k could be an attempt at the Marlay Parkrun once my season is over and I'm on a break. I won't be doing anything specific for it. Just merely hoping into it and seeing if I can spoof my way through off 400m training.

What odds would the bookies give me? I'm thinking 7/2 and that my lack of mileage coupled with the fact I am on a break may catch up with me. Thoughts?

Personally I would say

Sub 20 - 4/7
Sub 19.30 - 5/4
Sub 19 - 11/2

You ran that 4.53 at the end of a decathlon in poor conditions so there is more in the tank. Most calculators would put you at around 18.30ish but are based on an more aerobic background so on a decent course I would say that 19 would be a better target however given Marlay's profile I reckon 19.30 would be in or around the target if weather is decent and you pace it reasonably well

Given Marlay course profile I think that will add about 20-25 seconds in a distance trained runner but someone aerobically lacking you are talking a bit more, add in the fact that the hill mid race will more than likely have a compound effect later in the race meaning that a straight 50/50 shot for sub 19.30 is slightly stacked against.

I'm convinced Tymon is slower than Marley. I've done 17.40 at Marlay but only 17.49 at Tymon. I find the last mile at Tymon quite a drag off the back of a quick middle section. Once you crest the hill at Marlay, you can really fly to the finish.
