Anyways back to running stuff...

5miles
wasn't looking forward to this as legs a bit achy/tired and there seemed to be a bit of a wind out. Once i got out i enjoyed it. Set the watch to clock and kept it at a nice pace that was good and easy.

sunflowerRo

Thanks for the wave Nules, i don't think the other two saw that it was me.

Question: if you mentioned 4 people and i only saw 3 of ye, please tell me that the other person had left at that point. If not, i'll go get my eyes checked out.:D

Wednesday 16th may
1 mile easy, 6x600m* 1 mile easy
6miles covered.
off i went to the pitches to do this. The 600's were to be done at 5k pace -5 seconds or something along those lines. i have never done a 5k race so i just went by my 5 mile time from raheny which was 43:16. anyway i keyed it in and did a rough estimation to be honest cos i really haven't got a clue. Was aiming to run them at 8:15 first 3 were 8:12 8:12 and 8:06 (no idea what happened there:rolleyes:) last 3 i slowed a good bit 8:19 8:25 8:25 took about 3 min recovery between each. pegged it home quick change and off to yoga not sure how i managed it i was wrecked but thankfully a good stretching class tonight.

Younganne

Well done, sounds like a good session...i hope to be back running at the weekend! Did you not hear Summer has been cancelled for this year:rolleyes:

RubyK

Nice session yesterday Nules, training is well and truely back on track for you!

shazkea

Good interval session there, nice one. Leg held up ok during it?

jcsmum

Well done, nice session there.

Nules10

Thanks ladies. Was tough session but it's done. Not sure my fitness is quite back yet as breathing was laboured. Leg was grand the usual fine when running stiff afterwards despite lots of stretching.

Thursday 17th may
