Hills today - 15 minutes easy up the road, 8x 30 sec reps at Bohernabreena, 15 minutes easy home. Had to squeeze this run in because I'd a hair appointment at 3 and possible plans for later. Reps weren't as painful as last week because I was controlling the pace a bit more. Ended up with a mini-tempo at the end too when I realised that I had 18 minutes to run the last 1km, have a shower and get down to the hairdresser. :eek: Managed it though, and my hair now looks significantly better than it did a few hours ago.
Anyway - 3.8 miles @ 9.20/mile average pace.0 -
Long run today, aim was 70 minutes easy. Did 12km (7.46 miles) in just over 1:13 (9.49/mile average pace). Windy as hell this afternoon, which made it feel tougher than it should have been. Pretty happy to get it done though - longest run since Barcelona.
Mileage for week: 27.7 miles / 6 runs
Total for year: 418.3 miles0 -

Plan for today was 15 mins easy, 20 minutes tempo, 15 minutes easy. Headed out to the track with the usual suspects for this, didn't fancy having the faster bit interrupted every 5 minutes by having to cross roads! Did 15 easy, 20 tempo and a slightly longer cooldown than intended because I was coming to the end of my planned cooldown at roughly the same time as others were starting theirs. Overall 6.65 miles / 10.7km at 9.17/mile average pace, tempo bits were at between 8.30 and 8.50/mile pace. Pretty happy with that overall 0

40 minutes easy planned for tonight, done and dusted. 6.81km / 4.23 miles @ 9.36/mile average pace. Pretty tired this evening, but that's more down to the fact that it's Friday than anything else. I was 10 minutes away from getting out of work at 5.30 today when a guy on another team thought he found a massive bug in what I test... ended up being a false alarm, thankfully. I don't like panic at the end of the working week!
Hills tomorrow, and the weather forecast is for strong wind rolling down off the mountains. Fun times

Planned for today - 70 minutes easy. Did 12km / 7.46 miles today at 9.54/mile average pace. Looking at the paces on my Garmin log makes it really obvious where I was running in and out of the wind, was trying to keep it a consistent effort but paces range from 9.35ish/mile to well outside 10 min/mile! Thankfully the rain stayed away for the duration of my run.
Week: 32.9 miles - first 30+ week post-Barcelona
Would like also to mention a certain text from a certain person (who will remain anonymous) yesterday evening. "Oh when the saints go marchin in" - Talk about counting your chickens before they were hatched :pac: 0 -

Great running this weekend... and for braving that wind! Once this marathon is done and dusted, I'll have to join you for some hill reps!
Might actually start putting that session up on the group training sessions thread, I'm sure there are a few other people around who might like to have their legs burnt by that hill 0 -

Intervals at UCD track today, with menopause, claralara and digger. Plan was 4x200, 1x600, 2x400 (200m jog recoveries) + 15 min easy warm-up and cooldown.
Splits for 200s:
1:25 (310m, dunno how that happened)
0:52
0:53
0:54
600m:
2:57 (way slower than the intended 2:45!
)
400m:
1:51
1:51
Followed this up with quite a decent amount (nearly 5km!) of easy-paced cooling down. Total distance covered 10.37km. Good to get some intervals in, but I am now rather worried about Saturday! No zip in my legs at all, feels like I've lost so much sharpness since I've been injured. Back in January I was doing 10x400m sessions with all the reps faster than those 1:51s...0 -

I wouldnt stress about the times too much. Your 600 was bit slower than intended but the 200s were also quicker than planned which is something you need to take into account and the wind was prob a factor.
Just get out and enjoy the race on Sat plenty of time to be chasing times and "sharpness" you are still in very early stages of your come back so dont worry and just give it a lash. The race itself will help bring you on leaps and bounds0 -
