    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 :D

    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:

    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 :)

    Plan for this evening - 50 minutes easy. Did 8.05km / 5.01 miles at 10.08/mile average pace. Slow, but pace is really irrelevant when half the run is into a wind as strong as what it is today (and I wasn't exactly feeling full of energy today because I slept really badly last night). Still miles in the bank anyway! Intervals tomorrow at the track.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    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...

    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 bounds


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,554 ✭✭✭Mr Slow


    I'll be on the hill with the mini slows to cheer you on!

    I'd already swapped yesterday's 50 minute run to today (felt like I'd been hit by a bus when I got in from work yesterday, that coupled with getting in late meant that the swap was the only reasonable choice). Woke up this morning with a very tickly throat and a nice little cough to go with it - just my luck 2 days before my first race in nearly 3 months. Deeply unimpressed at this. Anyway. Today's run. The usual 8km / 5 mile loop, dead slow because I just did not have any energy at all tonight (10.13/mile average pace), any stretch of the legs at all felt draining. Absolutely flopped into my chair too when I got home. Think I'm going to have to grab some Berocca Boost on the way into work tomorrow and hope I feel better on Saturday morning...

    Yeah I had a pair of those pink & whites, no matter how grubby I got them that pinkness just shone through. Those blue 17s look good.

    Very short, easy run with a few strides this evening. Average pace 9.38/mile overall, 2.58 miles covered. Felt tougher than it should, though I'm *still* partly blaming the wind for that. **** sake, will it not just go away? :eek:

    Really hoping the sore throat fecks off soon too, it's incredibly annoying :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,090 ✭✭✭shazkea


    Good luck tomorrow - hope cold clears up. As for those new 17's....:eek: is all I can say!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,585 ✭✭✭Nules10


    Good luck tomorrow. Difflam spray great for sore throats numbs the hell out of it, works for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,793 ✭✭✭Macanri


    All the best for tomorrows race RK. I hope that cold/sore throat clears up for you.

    On the Glutamine - I don't know Mr Slow, so won't comment on his bowel movements - but from a bit of research: "At the time of this writing, the most commonly experienced side effects while taking glutamine include: constipation and bloating."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Well that was crap. 26.02 - my worst 5k since March 2009.

    Sinuses decided to join in the fun this morning, meaning that I didn't just feel like crap but breathing was tougher than it should have been. Really should have stayed in bed today, I knew 400m in that it really wasn't there today - everything felt much tougher than it should have been. My first km was 4.56, which is slower than my normal 5k pace, and it only got worse from there.

    Garmin link, if anyone is interested


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,144 ✭✭✭Bally8


    What a shame RK, sorry to hear you so disappointed. Now go mind yourself and be better for Cork.


    Oh and even though 26.02 might be a bad time for you, its a time I would love to get some day. So therefore I think your brill.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭racheljev


    Ah crap, sorry to hear it was a bad one - I'm with Bally8 though, think it's quicker than my 5k pb, so I'm saying nice one! Now, on to Cork...:)

    First missed session in May today (had 70 min easy run scheduled). Really not feeling right at all, going to try and get to the doctor tomorrow. Down with this sort of thing. :(

    Better of resting up and listening to the body. Running for the sake of running is only gonna make things worse and do more harm than good. Get better soon


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,832 ✭✭✭littlebug


    That's a shame RK :(
    Best to keep your energy for getting better now.
