What difference does a second make?

donothoponpop · 17-09-2009 12:24PM

That's rough Peckham, at least you know what you've got. Hope you get over it soon.

Krusty_Clown · 17-09-2009 12:37PM

Sorry to hear that. I hope it's not too uncomfortable and you have a speedy recovery. Time to catch up on a good book!

shels4ever · 17-09-2009 12:52PM

Get well soon,

MCOS · 17-09-2009 04:02PM

Yikes Peckham! Wishing you a speedy recovery from that

oh and well done on the 10k, nice one

racheljev · 17-09-2009 04:30PM

Oh that's tough, hope you feel better soon.

Slogger Jogger · 17-09-2009 08:28PM

swine flu and you still PBed. :rolleyes:

Rest easy and recover well.

Peckham · 24-09-2009 07:54PM

Have taken it easy this week given that I missed a week last week. Objective is to get to 30-33 miles for the week, with nothing too intense. Am running the half marathon on Saturday, but not going PB-hunting and will stick to a (relatively) comfortable pace.

Enjoy the relatively comfortable runout tomorrow. i ll be doing the same, going to use it as a 16mile run. let me know if you fancy a run monday or wednesday of next week.

Peckham · 25-09-2009 05:02PM

Thanks kennyb3. Hopefully see you tomorrow.

Weekends only really suit me for a trip to Malahide. How are you set for next weekend? Could maybe do something then.

kennyb3 · 25-09-2009 05:11PM

No doubt doing a long run the sat morning i would imagine. dont want to hold you up on yours tho. maybe we can do at least half together, then you can speed up a bit and i can slow down a bit ha ha.

good luck tomorrow

edit:btw should have said i ve no problem travelling to lusk anytime to meet you either

Peckham · 26-09-2009 03:34PM

Dublin half marathon
Great event, very well organised, and a fantastic course.

Plan for today was to go out and enjoy myself, trying to keep on around 90 min pace. Was nice and relaxed at the start and didn't get caught up in the mad gallop from the gun. Think that served me well as pace through the first mile was 6:40 so only about 10 secs quicker than target (normally for me, and many of us, first mile is about 30secs faster than it should be). Settled into a nice routine, meeting up with christeb at around the first mile marker, and sticking near him up to about 6 mile point.

A pretty non-eventful race, as I just kept churning out the miles at a pretty consistent pace. Only mild-drama was missing the final water station as someone cut in between me and the people handing out the water, meaning I couldn't stretch to get a cup (he got two cups :mad:). Was feeling very strong towards the end and gave me the opportunity to put in a bit of a surge towards the end. About a mile and a half out, I saw a former clubmate and jlang about 20 metres ahead of me and made both of them my targets (;)), passing both of them at the same time, and clocking a 6:15 final mile. Crossed the line in 1:28.

Roll on Novice XC in two weeks......

Good to meet you too....although I'll admit now to not being able to hear you over the race announcer when you said who you were! Glad that clears it up.

Will focus on XC and short races up until Christmas, then it's an assault on London in April.

Peckham · 04-10-2009 06:50PM

Steady week, nothing spectacular (although it's my first week going over 40 miles in quite a while - 41.5 to be exact). Legs were a little tired at start of week from the half marathon.

Have we announced a target for DCM Mr Peckham? sub 3 I hope!

Peckham · 05-10-2009 09:00AM

Not doing DCM this year. Any sub-3 attempt will have to wait until London next April, but a long time to go before planning starts for that.
