Group Training Sessions - Where & When

Murph_D · 05-08-2014 2:33pm

Sunday 10 Aug

I'm thinking of doing a 20-miler up the Royal Canal from North Strand and back on Sun if anyone interested. Would be doing around 9:40/mile for first 10 and the picking it up to about 8:40 for the second half. From about 9am.

tHE vAGGABOND · 15-08-2014 1:43pm

Sat 16th

Doing a 20 miler, flexible on pace, but somewhere around 9min pace [plus or minus 30 seconds per mile!]

Dont care about start time, as long as I know today if its 5am or 5pm. Just sick of doing them on my own

Was thinking of heading from central Dublin out toward sutton and back, but can travel, just would rather avoid the park [as I did 20 in there last week, and done 2 medium runs there this week]

Hey DRQ, will be hoping to do something along those lines on Sunday (Lakes 10k on Saturday), so if you have any flexibility to push out to Sunday, let me know.

dublin runner · 02-09-2014 1:51pm

Was hoping to say the exact same thing!

Sorry lads but have to run Saturday do to childcare responsibilities Sun morning! Would love to get a good group lsr going these next couple of weeks tho- you racing athlone KC? (I already know u are DR!)

dublin runner · 03-09-2014 10:43pm

No prob, not sure if I even around now. Definitely should organise something. Don't worry, we will make the run as flat as possible to prepare you both for Frankfurt! I wouldn't want to give anybody altitude sickness......!!

Wasn't sure if there would be anyone about with Flatline this week

Why you think I pushed it back to a little later, don't worry have started getting my act together so I'm 110% committed to this one :P

dukeraoul · 08-09-2014 3:11pm

DR- you're made of sterner stuff than me. No chance I'll be up for this the day after Flatline !

I usually recover pretty well after races. This of course may be down to the fact I am racing like a donkey at the moment!!!

Would suit me down to the ground, DR?

dublin runner · 09-09-2014 10:49am

I second that motion! The later the better (with reason!) Could do a bit of the DCM route if it suited.

tunguska · 09-09-2014 4:02pm

Sorry lads just remembered Mayweather is fighting Saturday night in Vegas so it'll be a late one. Afternoon run for me on Sunday.

I may need to go earlier, sorry. I know you like your sleep in! Small chance of tickets for the match so need to get it wrapped up early.

Can't do 20 but could meet you for the last 10 or so, with the MP miles to finish?

Cool, i'll try and be there a few min early so there's no chances of you waiting around (i.e I won't be late like always

). See you tomorrow!

BeepBeep67 · 03-10-2014 6:10am

When: Sat Oct 4th
Where: Wicklow Town
Time: 8am Tesco car park
20 miles: 7:30 ish with a few faster bits maybe

Supporting a friend going for 3:10 in DCM (he could be supporting me), pm me if you're in that neck of the woods.

DarByrne1980 · 04-10-2014 5:23pm

anyone around the phoenix park tomorrow morning sometime before 11 doing 10 to 12 miles. i normally run between 7 to 8 minute pace. thanks

Krusty_Clown · 06-10-2014 6:06pm

When: Saturday or Sunday 11th/12th
Where: Phoenix Park? Shankill?
Time: Morning.
Distance: 18-20 miles
Style: Progression run in four mile blocks or something
Pace: Starting out easy (7:15 - 7:30), finishing up around 6 minute/mile

Maybe something like:
Miles 0-4: slower than 7:15/mile
Miles 5-8: slower than 6:50/mile
Miles 9-12: slower than 6:30/mile
Miles 12-16: slower than 6:15/mile
Miles 17-18 (or 20): Freestyle! Speed-up or cool-down. Your choice!

Just a thought. May help keep the 'have I done enough' demons at bay, for another few days, while suiting a few people targeting different paces. Will just do it in Shankill on my toblerone if there's no interest.

Sunday morning could suit me nicely for this one (although could probably manage Saturday if needed)

Flexible on venue

dublin runner · 07-10-2014 10:49am

I'd be on for that 20. Sunday suits best. Flexible on location. Somewhere not Phoenix Park related might be nice!

Sunday works perfectly for me. Have a great route from Shankill as far as Marlay and back again, and can stash a few drinks along the route, but am completely flexible about locations.

'7:30 ish with a few faster bits maybe' is a pretty nifty pace for a 20 mile long run 2 weeks out for someone targeting 3:10???

Thought you might have misread the date on BBs original post, which was from last week. 20 miles @pmp + 4%-5% is a damn good (tough) session three weeks out, but would be a bit much two weeks away from goal marathon. Just to be clear, there are exactly 19 days to Dublin marathon.
