Sunday 16th Feb
Plan was for 18 miles w/ 2 x (3miles @PMP, 8:20-8:30)
Actual was a little bit different and may get my wrist slapped for this but have to be honest on this log!
Ran from home to clubhouse as I didn't have use of car .#1 son had football match.
1.86 miles: 9:51, 9:46
Set off with the slower group. My plan was to do my MP miles at 7,8,9 and 12,13,14. First few miles ended up being more in the "steady" bracket I'd say rather than "Easy".
Miles 3-6 : 9:23,8:49,8:58,9:00
Time to push on and attempt the faster section then on my own.
Miles 7-9 : 8:09,8:09,8:22
Knew these were a bit too fast. Naughty, naughty!...but feeling good and enjoyed the injection of a bit of pace.
Miles: 10-12: 9:34,9:40,9:34
Nice and relaxed and enjoyed the recovery time on what was a perfect morning for a run. Took at gel at mile 11 in preparation for next MP section.
Miles: 13-16 : 8:23,8:17,8:03,8:29
Ooops did 4 insteasd of three. The third one was probably a result of seeing a club group of two ahead of me in the distance and I decided to try reel them in. The fourth one , I'm not sure about. Either miscounted or the adrenaline kept me going for another one.
Miles 17 and a bit: 9:09,9:20 (0.62)
Eased back down but felt good, not fatigued, just normal aches from a long run.
Total: 17.48 miles @ 8:56avg 2hrs 36mins on feet
Felt extraordinarily strong during this run. Great end to my highest mileage week ever!

Someone should delete one of their posts so the 1000th post is you making a tit of yourself. 0 -

Considering it was posted from the pub - I'd consider that a decent effort.

So not sure if the fact that I ran these faster than HMP is a good thing or a bad thing? Any comments anyone?
The pace you were able to run them at is your HMP.
The fact that you were faster for the last rep proves the first 3 were not too fast.
Your target for Bohermeen now has to be sub 1:40. How much can you beat 1:40 by??? 0 -

Super session. Sub 1:40 no bother to you. I just checked and I only did 2 x 2m @ HMP before I ran 1:38 in Waterford so it's yours to lose:D 0

Rest. Some strength work for knee.Single leg squats etc and a bit of rolling of glutes (not the ITB)
Saturday 22nd Feb
Easy run. Legs felt very fresh hence the slightly faster than easy pace. Nice morning for it but a bit blustery in places. Met a large group of runners along the seafront at Raheny.Looked like the Marathon Club were out again notching up another one. Fair play to them.
Enjoyed this. The knee was a little uncomfortable at the start but within a hundred metres or so it warmed up and was fine for the rest of the run.Threw a couple of 15secs strides in near the end.
My shoes are quickly running out of miles. Plan was to go out to AK today but rang them yesterday and no Brooks Adrenalines until end of the month! Even resorted to going to Elvery's but apparently they had to send them all back as they were "faulty". So I'll be resurrecting my older ones I think during the week to save the current ones for long runs and next weekend at Bohermeen. Bad planning on my part.
93.6Kg today. Going in right direction.
Looking forward to the Rugby now later. C'mon Ireland!

Good work with the single leg squats RR, I'm meant to be doing these a few times a week but I'm a disaster with them, alls I do is shake all over the place, hate them! I never do them. You've now encouraged me to try a few later
As regards the runners, why don't you see can you get them online? Prob cheaper too? I'm thinking mine will soon need to be replaced also.0 -

Had been looking online but no real difference in price. Also the Brooks Adrenalines come in different width sizes and some websites don't differentiate between them so couldnt be 100% sure which ones youd be buying.I'll keep searching though. I find it difficult to get these shoes in general. I should be ok with the ones I have for another week or so and then I'll pop out to AK or might try Runways during the week . I'd settle for the GTS13's even rather than waiting for the 14s.0 -
