Will be taking a couple of weeks off between now and then (just easy running) and then will begin working on the longer stuff, but it's early enough into the next phase of training, that I will still have some speed in the legs. I may just do that!
ffs, I said I was racing there ages ago, you're not allowed swan in at this stage and snag a medal! :mad::mad:
You should do meet 6 (3000) and 7 (1500) too, for the track practice

Cheers man. Got a bit of time and stuck my numbers in and got a 15:31 (can I take this as my new PB?Larry Brent wrote: »Don't give up on the track just yet. For one you could eek 10s out of that time from pacing alone. Pop your splits in here and see: http://timescalculator.appspot.com/optimizer
). But then got curious and added up my lap splits, and it only came to 15:43, so clearly I've lost a few seconds in my lap splits somewhere. It's an interesting idea, but between the jostling for position and over-abundance of adrenaline, it's hard to see a 5,000m race happening on the track where the runners don't go out too hard and run a couple of seconds too fast for the first 200m, right? Otherwise all but two of my splits were slower than planned, so it's difficult to see where a more evenly paced strategy might yield me some seconds. I reckon a cooler day would make the greatest difference as I reckon my HR would be a few beats lower. A cool day with no wind is a lot to ask for (though probably better chances in Ireland than anywhere else). This Tullamore idea is sounding more attractive by the day though.
Yesterday: 4 miles with strides
A little stiff to start out with, but loosened up just enough to get the strides done. Dunshaughlin could be a complete flop, but realistically, I wont know until about mile 4. I have no running plans for a couple of weeks, so might as well throw myself at it and see how it goes. A shot for nothing...0 -

I got slightly told off for jostling too much in the first 600 because it uses up too much energy. Coachy told me that sometimes you just got to sit back....food for thought. Great race and report though. Your first track race? You have to come back for more, it's the law

Cheers Ger. I should point out that I failed to hit my target on the track so never actually ran 25x200 @ 37 second pace, but thanks for rubbing salt intro the wound.KC 2 pbs in a week. I still cant get my head around running 25*200 @ 37 sec pace given recently I ran 200 flat out and was delighted to break 40
Enjoy the Coors
The Coors went down mighty fine. In fact, my tipple of choice was made far closer to your home (Blacks of Kinsale) than that muck from across the Atlantic!0 -

Brilliant running Gary
Had trouble spotting you though, was expecting to see you wearing a club singlet and not drafting shamelessly off a female runner
Yes Ray, I see exactly what you mean.
FINISH: Dunshaughlin 10KM 2015 by Peter Mooney, on Flickr. Thanks to Peter, Rory, Monica and family as always for the cracking photos. 1 -
