    Went into the park with a friend from work. Was meant to be 9 miles but we ended up doing the 10 mile course. was a good run despite the wind made it back before it started to lash.

    Wednesday September 8th
    4.5 miles in 45 mins pace Pace 9:59
    Todays run was a bit blah..:rolleyes: it wasn't good but it wasn't bad either. When i got to the turn to go and do the 5 miles that i was meant to do i said sod it i am going home.... after all i did do an extra mile yesterday :) Man this working and training is hard :rolleyes:
    And if the news is anything to go by we could be doing the marathon in the snow :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 522 ✭✭✭sunflowerRo


    No way? Snow:confused::confused:. Oh man. Actually I think if I got the choice I'd take snow over wind. That run on Tue was torture....blowing backwards:p

    Saturday September 10th
    20 miles in 3:32:16 pace 10:36
    God dammit i had this all written out and i lost it :rolleyes: so here is a short version. Met with the boards crowd. did the route pretty much that we did for the 18 mile run including knockmaroon hill ( ger is getting the blame this time :)) but i swear that hill makes the rest of the run easier. Gel at 7 miles. back to cars at 10 miles. Decided to do the 10 miler route. Another gel at 16 to get me through the last 4. Knees were beginning to hurt at this point. i had also taken a nurofen as i have had an ache in my groin all week, it did the job. 20 miles done and feeling good. The cold bath sorted out the knees when i got home. feeling pretty chuffed to have gotten a 20 done at this stage. Myself and sunflower were grinning like mad at the end we both did 20 in the end. Thanks to Digijem for the chats on the way around and for not judging me as i popped me drugs on the way around ;) I swear the were not performance enhancing :D

    Well done on getting the 20 done. I had to cut mine short, felt like I'd been shot in the foot at 14 mile and had to hobble back to the car. I don't think it was my suggestion on going up that big hill:cool:

    Thanks ger felt good to get the 20 in. Hope the foot is ok. We made a group decision to blame you for the hill... personally i think it was sunflower who suggested it :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭DigiJem


    Good running yesterday Nules, both sunflower and yourself did great.

    Well I never...I cannot believe you would make such an accusation.

    On a completely seperate note....just off the phone to race directors for the half and they thought it was a great idea to include Knockmaroon at mile 12 next week :D:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 522 ✭✭✭sunflowerRo


    Well done DigiJem. You looked like youd plenty left in the tank when I headed back to the carpark!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,682 ✭✭✭pistol_75

    Left groin sore since sunday. Thought a day of rest sunday and monday would sort it out but nope. I headed out this afternoon for 3 miles just to see and as you can see i didnt get far. started to pain me so i just came home. going to go get it looked at tomorrow and hopefully a few days rest will sort it out plus foam rolling, hot baths, cold baths and prayers :)

    Sorry to hear that Nules. Remember I was saying mine was at me the other day. I googled some stretches for hip flexors (Orla's advice) and have got a lot more relief. Maybe try that?
    I'm here icing my Achilles. I'm hoping this is a temporary glitch :(
