    Cool, sounds like a plan... See you at 6:30pm...

    Dont know about a "few laps"... A fast 5m, and a couple of wade Ave will do me... My recovery time aint the same as you young folk...

    cool, see you then. Don't worry I'll go easy on you (as easy as you went on me on Sunday!)

    That sounds like a good plan. I'm put off doing this if I don't get extra miles in, would be easier with others around. Though I'm not sure if I can run successive 8:00 miles anymore :(

    Cool. Doesn't have to be 8:00! I'll be dying after the race anyway, and the plan calls for 5 mile tempo + 1hr easy.

    Just checked the McMillan calculator...Based on my most recent PB for 5k 24:39 it has my 5m time at 40:51.....08:10 pace...That gives me something to aim for..

    Going to finally give this a go, I've had it on the list for the last few years but never got around to it. I got a mountain bike race sun morning though, so its going to be fun trying to get sub 29mins after that!

    But if you're driving, finding parking at that time could be a real pain in the arse.

    Do a Google maps search for All Saints Drive - you can park in the estate anywhere around there and it's close to the start. There'll be plenty of space

    Thinking of giving this a go as its almost a local race.

    Never ran a 5 mile race before so haven't a clue how to approach it. Might give it a lash and attempt sub 34 with a high risk of blowing up after 5km.

    I'll be volunteering before and after so not sure if I'll be in the pub - if I do get a chance then the Watermill is the best bet (across the road from the SuperValu in Raheny village). My gaff is 100m from the start-line, I love this race :)

    I will be helping out after too, but yea, would be interested in meeting up for a pint later, any of Raheny's watering holes suits me.
