Great that you are improving John, you have been really patient. Enjoy the match(if that's possible as a Mayo follower).

5k. 26.50

Enjoyable run as I increased the pace as a ran. Ran The first k in 5.53 and ran the last in 4.45. Happy with that. As for Limerick on saturday The ref Was a disaster. U couldnt fault the players effort but a few sideline decisions by horan were questionable.

John have you heard any news on these park runs that are supposed to start in Ballina?

I havent heard anything about it lately. It was due to start sept/oct. I must enquire bout it

john mayo 10

I ran 5k last friday morning in belleek woods and another 5k on sunday morning. Knee is holding up Well . Plan to increase distance this week. There is a 5\10k race in crossmolina on the 5th of october so im aiming towards the 5k as my first race back

john mayo 10

Have been increasing distance over the past number of weeks. Ran 10k this morning with 2 Lads training for DCM. They continued on after 10k. Ran it in 55 mins. That 10 mins slower than my pb. Still great to be back. Enjoyable run in the fog at 8 in the morning.knee is feeling stronger. Gonna kick on from here with a more structured plan.

Great news John. Our park run is nearly good to go I believe, I've volunteered to help out. Also there is a 5 km in Crossmolina next Saturday as well as the following weekend.

Sat 4th oct
5k
have been getting out 3 time a week lately consisting of 2 short runs and a long run at weekends. Not too bothered bout pace yet. Had planned to do a 5 or 10k race crossmolina but gonna give it a miss. Probably need a few more weeks before i start racing again.

SamforMayo

Just saw this now, glad you are recovering well, you might have the right idea about holding off on racing.

john mayo 10

Have been getting out 2 3 times a week lately but failing to log in here so much change that from now on. Done a 60k cycle on the greenway last week. Enjoyable but tough. Done my first race this morning since last April in ballina. It was a 5k fun run through belleek. Done this in 25 mins. Happy out. 2 and a half minutes outside my 5k pb but I don't care. Its great to be back racing

thanks martyboy48. Knee is holding up Well. I keep it strapped when i run just to protect it if anything. I have no pain when i run. Its still not 100% and probably never will. Its not an easy injury that u can totally cure according to physio. I just have to protect thé knee and not overdo it.

I don't think it's on next week cause of club 10 km on Sunday. If it's on I will probably do it. You doing the 10 km? Good crowd this morning.
