Thanks rainbow kirby... so many times i just felt like i wanted to walk/give up but that little bugger inside my head told me to keep going. Ahh the mental strength is so important... at the end of the run i sat in the car and thought sh*t i have to do double this :eek:0 -

Oh my God I'm stunned that you found it tough on Saturday. You seemed to be flying along, chatting away.
I feel so bad, I was totally oblivious.... you should have said.
I suppose the thing is, you did it and the long runs will get easier. I promise.
Oh god no don't feel bad... if i said something then i definitely would have stopped. The chatting was a distraction( hehe cue shaz to say thats my problem
). I need to slow my mid week runs right down i am doing them way to fast and they are leaving me zonked for my LSR's.
Thanks for the company though jcsmum 0 -
Wednesday 27th July
Yesterday i went for a sports massage as my left calf was soo tight and my hips hurt a bit too. I was advised do do nothing for the day... well as in exercise but i took it as in nothing at all, not even housework
so didn't get to do my 3 miles.
So today i went off and decided i would call my distance on the way around to see how the legs were holding up. They were GREAT like i have new legs. So did my 7 miles and loved loved loved every step of it.
7miles in 1:13:17 pace 10.25
Again pace probably a bit fast but it didn't feel it and i was relaxed throughout.
God i wish i could get sports massages every week :rolleyes:0 -

Wednesday 3rd August
7miles in 1:10:15 pace 10:01
Decided i would try to keep this whole run around 10 min pace. I did except mile 5 which was 10:16. I just wanted to push myself a little bit today... just to see. came home and hopped into a cold bath... i was roasting and i have to say i like the cold baths after runs from 7 miles onwards. 0 -

Thursday 4th August
4 miles in 38:09 Pace 9:31
I started this run off as a 40 min tempo run but i just could not sustain it so when it hit 4 miles i stopped.
I love doing tempo runs and did loads for the Kildare half and it helped with my speed. I just feel my speed is sooo slow and slipping at the moment, i am just not sure i can keep a pace of 9:16 if i am to to the 10mile in 1:30. A little confused really

You know how it is, on race day with the adrenaline and the buzz of the crowds, we just go faster than we would during training. Don't ask me how it works, but it does..... :cool:
You'll do great. Won't see you on Saturday, somebody :rolleyes: in our house is golfing.0 -

Saturday 6th August
15.35 miles in i don't know what time but think average pace was 10:30 (i was the slow coach today actually i am the slow coach everyday sorry lads)
I was quite excited about this run as 15 miles would be my longest run ever so far. I was that excited i didn't even have a glass of wine last night and i sipped on water instead :rolleyes: Met up with the group but twas a small group today and thankfully Angela was there running at my pace so we kept each other company. I forgot my watch and felt very naked without it. Anyway time pace didnt really matter. Lets just say it was slow enough. Definitely need a few more slow novices joining the group runs. The lads were great for waiting for us every so often thanks for that. Most finished up at 13.1 miles but i still had two to do so i joined Meno for one (probably my fastest mile ever and no doubt his slowest) and then i left him and finished my last mile back to the car park. I really enjoyed todays run and i am CHUFFED with myself..and and and i got my first bit of chaffing... proper runner now i am but its kinda sore

8miles in 1:23 pace 10:21
On hearing the wind outside there was no way i was running over to Skerries so stuck to the back roads instead at least there is some shelter there. wasn't a bad run in the end and quite enjoyed it. just made it home before the rain started to pelt down. Now for some afternoon TV and food 0 -
Good running. I'm looking at the rain chucking it down now looking forward to this evening
Must check what other routes you run as well as it's good to have plenty of options. Boredom tends to set in doing the same routes all the time.
Hoping to use the old track in gormanston this evening for some interval stuff.0 -

Up around the outer relief road and take the first right turn brings you out onto the road to the rugby club and out at Balrothery a couple of nice drags there too. That's usually my 6 mile route.
I keep forgetting about the track at Gormanston. Have you used it before. I have done my intervals in the past in the playing fields across the road from the college.
Sure hopefully catch up with you on Saturday0
