When are you going to test your legs with the short stuff yourself? You seem to be enjoying the training, if enjoy is the right word for intervals and the likes

In fairness it must be hard to take, with your bro dropping his 5k time to 18:28 (& looking like there was some left in the tank as well)!

I'd be peed off if I was you as well......................

Just to see how little you do train

Never saw him, but yes I'm resigned to the fact he'll always be faster than me at the short stuff. Fortunately I'm much better looking

As i'm faster than you, your looks won't help you when i get to the pretty ladies first!

Anyway, the glare off your medal will make them look away so your looks will be doubly nullified so i shall win again

That's if you notice them, you had something pleasant for each eye the other day, at eye level and you were oblivious.

That's a brutal program, are you going to lash yourself with thorny vines on your LSR's too?

What's the idea behind the sports cap? Is it so you can take it while on the run?

There's strawberries there too!

From reading the bottle they seem to expect people to take it during activity

Mars in a sports bottle! Heaven. They also had the one litre cartons. Next time you're up North, bring an empty car...

Ah yes i've been using them since i moved over here. 2 litre cartons for £2.50 is a regular on my weekly shop

I'n not out yet. I can pull out of the bet whenver i want for 25 euro, no timeline was put on the get out clause

I may enter Conn and be flexible on what event i do, then run Donadea and see how it goes before making my final decision. Be afraid, be very afraid!

Although if i run like i did yesterday you'll wipe the floor with me.

No you can't. When we made the bet, we said if you don't enter or don't turn up to the race for whatever reason, then you owe the full €50.
You getout clause (which was only recently insterted) is a special clause and only valid for a short period. I'll give you to the donore race at then end of the month.

By the way lads: Top Tip: the Connemarathon has a max entry of 3,000 (for all 3 races in total) and sells out a good few months early every year. I'd hate to see one of you losing €50 because you forgot to register on time

Mr Slow was thinking 17, but I reminded hm digger did 20 yesterday and the seed was planted. Nice easy run at first, we picked up Chinguetti (fresh from running 18:28 in leixlip yesterday) and vaggabond and Ray trotted off home. We decided to be cruel and take the group up Knockmaroon hill but everyone seemed to take it grand despite the protests before, so after 10, I decided to push clarlalara to an 8 minute mile (for her last one) as practise for her 50 min 10k goal. she struggled at first into the wind but managed a sprint finish to make goal time.

Myself, Chinguetti, mr slow vaggabond and shels then headed out for a last loop, shels left us at 14. We were already at 17 miles as we approached the bottom of the Kyber hill and since the seed had been planted mrslow decided he would be doing 20 so the two of us left Chinguetti and vaggabond and took the long route back to the cars. I got back at 19.5 miles and decided to call it a day, leaving mrslow to frantically do laps of the car park to make up the last 0.5miles . The post run cokes and ice creams went down a treat

Summary:
19.5 miles @9'08 av pace. (HR 143).

weekly total: 6 runs 46.4 miles

That is just not true. I am sober for at least 32 hours in every month...just before I have the blood tests. I'm sure my licence will be reissued in no time..

Cheers for that last push! Still struggling to see myself keeping that up for much longer than I did though.
I suppose I should thank you for the mild productivity of my weekend... FINE!

Haha, I have also went periods of more than 24 hours without drinking, it's no fun

You'll keep that up for longer alright, remember on sunday you did it at the end of 10 miles and after just coming off the knockmarron hill. I can tell you i would find it hard to run a mile at my goal 10k pace after that.
As per the FB message i sent you, the Speed sessions will pay dividends as long as you keep them up, but it'll take about two weeks before you start to reap the benefits of them so chin up and you'll get there.

Hmmm, that's very supportive and encouraging, contrary to your normal 'You should be doing xyz'. Is that reserved for certain boardsies or can we all expect a cuddlier Meno going forward

This sounds more like the way he speaks to me. I think he does it out of love for us.
