    sounds good J, I'll be running to and from the park (4 miles each way) so I don't mind 8-12 or so at a slightly higher pace around 8.00-8.30 pace after I meet you's there.

    there's another thread with the DCM2013 newbies meeting up at 9 as well, organised by Digger, I'm sure we can get a few little groups together.

    Hi Shane,

    Thanks for letting me know - that would have been a nasty surprise!

    I'll reconsider that post.

    Hi dublin runner,

    I'd be interested in running that one with you.

    Would Sat morning about 9am suit you?

    Hey, sounds good. Are you training for Dublin Marathon or have another race in mind? The long runs can be a lot easier with company!

    Yep - exactly that. This is my first marathon and also my first time running that distance but the pace is perfect.

    I know what you mean - nice to have someone keep you honest on the long runs.

    Any preference on a route?

    Brilliant. I'm not too fussed. Might need a drink of water at some point so along as it's laps or going by a shop I am happy. Any goal time for Dublin?

    Sure thing, that sounds good.

    Goal time is a rough 3hr30min. If I can eek out a slightly better time I'll be happy.

    Are you doing it yourself or are you training for something else?

    guys sorry to butt in but am I right in thinking that you're shooting for a 3:30 hour marathon and are planning on doing your long run 20-35 seconds faster than MP?

    Marathon pace goal is 6.50 per/mile. LSR training is around thirty to fifty seconds slower so if anyone wants to join in, work away!

    15 miles @ 6:20-6:25 pace on a Friday evening. Anyone?!

    Real longshot here but am chucking it out anyway. I have two PMP sessions coming up over next two weeks, which I'll probably do somewhere around Dublin City Centre on evenings of Friday 30th August & 27th September. I'm really bad at these sessions when doing them alone, so am looking for company for all or part of it.

    Likelihood is that I'll make my way to Phoenix Park to do them there (plus 2 miles warm-up/cooldown getting there/getting out of there). Would be coming from Blackrock (by foot or public transport), so could also do somewhere between Blackrock and city centre.

    Really specific I know, but worth a shot!

    I would've definitely been up for that Peckham if it wasnt for the 10mile race the next day. But if you'd be willing to push it back a week I could help you out then.

    30 August is good for me. I need to get a long run on Friday in as I'm off to Liverpool on the Saturday morning.
    I could leave from work in the city (St. Stephen's Green) around 5pm and head towards the Park?

    I would like to do a 3 hour run, any morning or evening this week [so at "OMFG" O'Clock or [more sensibly] after work].

    Off on Honeymoon very early Saturday morning, and want to get something like a 20 miler done before I leave. My pref would be for Wednesday or Thursday I guess?

    Flexible on pace, but I guess we can start the bidding around 9 min miles?

    In the unlikely chance anyone else is thinking the same thing thought I would throw it in here..

    Any chance of jumping in with the 7:45 group?

    Quick question, is the route looped? Just thinking may need a drink at some point if warmish.

    Any chance of you being up for a progression run and doing, say, 15 miles at 6:25 pace? RunForestRun might be interested too.
