As much as 2 minutes off? Really? That's like 20 seconds per mile faster... (or something like that - I don't do maths good!
)
Yeah, about 20 seconds. But race day adrenaline should account for some of that, and you'll push harder when competing. Sub 39 would be too easy, you may as well aim for sub 38.0 -

Good woman, you're flying. 37 or bust in Raheny! Oh, and can I have the orangey ones left from the tin of Roses? They're the only ones I really like since the b**tards took out the coffee ones...:mad: Them, and the strawberry ones. Oh and I quite like the dairymilk bricky ones. And the hazelnut whirls aren't bad either... Aw crap, now I want chocolate 0

I really don't get how people don't like that orange and strawberry ones. Though they used to be much more runny and they were even nicer then. Don't like the diary milk brick, used to love the thin dairy milks and bournvilles they had in the tin.
Roses have gone downhill, miniture heroes are crap too. Cadburys tins are rubbish. Celebrations are awesome.0 -

A tough enough resistance run with a few yucky hills and a a lot of yucky wind. The tummy started acting up at about 7 miles so the last 30 minutes or so were not fun. The effort felt a lot harder than 9:15 but I suppose that was to be exepcted with the weather. Despite that I was pleasantly surprised that it hadn't slipped past 9:30 pace - I don't know how it didn't as it was like running into a concrete wall at some parts. A tough yet toughening run!

A nice handy recovery run into work. This was the penance undertaken in order to justify a chicken wings, a 12oz rib-eye steak and a bottle of wine for digdig's birthday…Did somebody say category M45?!

I'm not quite sure where this came from. It was supposed to be 10 miles (easier effort) but the time got away on me so I decided to do 6 home and 4 today instead. But then when I got to 6ish I was feeling ok and had a few more minutes so I just stretched it out to the 8. It was a good run - not windy but a few decent climbs out to the rock. Got a stitch at stillorgan and had to stop for a few breaths and it was only then I realised the pace was a stupid 8:17 average so I tried to pull it back. It didn't really work out though the total average pace was a stupid 8:22…whoops! It felt good though. Depite having a lingering headcold all week. I've managed to keep it from the neck up though which is something positive.

A proper disciplined recovery into work after last night's antics. Legs feel good. They feel worked but not tired or strained.
16 mile LSR tomorrow and a very easy 10 on Sunday should round off the week nicely!

LSR in the Park with a rolling boards crew. Was a bit nervous about this after last weekend's bad 15 miler. It wasn't a replay though thank god. Enjoyed this and I think that had the plan called for more, I would have had it in me. Happy enough

Met up with digger, Aimman and Meno in Bohernabreena Resevoir car prk and did the Duck Egg Farm run out the back of the lakes and on up toward Glenasmole past the Glencree turn and back down to the reservoir where we tagged on an extra 1.5 miles.... This was an excellent run with a long climb, fresh air and a very fast last .75 of a mile just for the hell of it.
I'm feeling strong after the week.
Ultra training week two total mileage 54.48 - Highest ever weekly total :-)
(Basically just copied that from Digger's log but he has such a nice way of putting things...not me being lazy at all!! :cool:0 -

Not quite... If you look closely you'll see that I actually ran .08 of a mile more than you last week. That's despite your attempts to run sly miles so I wouldn't beat you. Karma's a b***h!
Karma's not the only one, great running missus, I'd expect you to beat your Conn time across the ultra distance at this stage!:) 0 -

Rest
Tuesday 10th January - double day
AM- 5.15 @ 8:49
PM - 5.2 @ 8:49
I don’t remember the ins and outs of either of those runs. AM was into work; PM was home from work. Don't know how or why they were the same pace; I think I was just running to feel. Nothing exciting to report.

Late run from the quays out to Leopardstown with a few miles tagged on at the end as it suited better to get this slightly longer run in instead of having to worry about it today (lots of meetings so will be a late one but at least I knew in advance). This was supposed to be fairly easy but I set off a little too quickly; started to pull it back after a few miles (mind over matter) but wasn't too worried as I knew there were a couple of nice wee climbs up to Blackrock and Leopardstown in my future, so it meant I had enough in the bank to take those very handy. A pretty enjoyable run all round actually. And worth the awesome chocolate brownies that were waiting for me at the end…someday my sister's new job in a gourmet food shop is going to end up being not such a good thing!

Nice recovery back down into work this morning. Took the the most direct route as the plan was actually 5 yesterday and 10 today, so just wanted to get the mileage done (and have a bit of a lie on!). Everything felt good; except when I decked my shoulder off a set of railings where some bloke came flying out of his gates and blocked the entire path depsite not being able to pull out into the traffic in any rush - I then ran by him about half a mile down road - CL's legs:1, rude man's maserati:0 - HA. (I don't actually know why I'm laughing - if I had a maserati I'd run over everything within a 50 mile radius that wanted me to slow down for it.
Friday 13th January
Rest
A nice break now before the back to back LSRs of 18 and 14 miles on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Fingers crossed it all goes ok - I really don't want to have bad LSRs as they totally knock the confidence! Time for the optimisn
(I know I have to reply on Meno's log but mad busy here so that will have to wait until lunchtime!)
