Runners in cabra area

quinnfo

Hi !! I'm on a quest to find a running partner at the minute. I'm living in the cabra area, looking to run in the park I guess. I'm hoping to find someone to run with on mondays and wednesdays. I'd be able to make it to the park by 5.30. I run about a nine minute mile so not to fast and hoping to do maybe 4-6 mile runs. I'm training for the half marathon and do my long runs with the phoenix park runners at the weekend. Anybody interested or know of any groups that would be suitable ? Really hoping for some luck My email is quinnfo123@gmail.com

Hi Quinnfo,

I know you mentioned Monday and Wednesday, but 3D tri club train in the park on a Tuesday night at 7pm at the polo grounds if you are interested. You can go down and try on a Tuesday night to see if it suits you.

Hope the training goes well.

Thanks NT. Unfortunately Tuesday and Thursday are out for me - otherwise I'd run with the phoenix park runners as I do at the weekend. Thanks for the reply

What sort of pace do you want to run at? Doing run/walk with a friend on Wednesdays at around that time, give it a couple more weeks and he should be stringing 3 or 4 miles together without breaks. I'll be continuing on after that 4 miles as well.

I live near the parkgate entrance to the Park and run there regularly, but I'm a bit slower* than you at the moment. If I catch up I'll get back to you!

Like 11/12 minute miles.

Hi Racoon Queen - I'm running about a nine min mile at the minute. Are you and your friend running tomorrow ??

Phoenixparker what kind of runs are you doing ? Length wise ? I'm not all that pushed about pace, I just need to be out running !!!

At the moment my routine is roughly 20k a week, divided into 1 *10k and 2 or 3 other sessions. The other sessions being 3 - 6k depending.

I've just signed up to do the half marathon in September, so I need to up the milage. I'm doing the mini-marathon next Monday, but after that we could definitely line something up.

I'm slow though!

We are meant to be running tomorrow but I may have to bail on this one so it probably won't happen. I'm trying to keep him to 9:30ish pace at the moment.

Cool well if you're up for it I'd love to come along. Just been reading your training blog-wowza !!!!! You're a real runner. I'd very much like to up my mileage etc

Thanks RQ
