These types of sessions have caused me problems in the past and despite Murph telling me it'd all come come good I was apprehensive about it. Got this in early this morning, weather was perfect for running only issue was during the first mile a Jack Russell made a go for me, the fecker actually tried to bite me while it's owner watched from the garden and didn't say a word. When the mutt tried again I drew a kick on him a got a lucky hit on his gob, that stopped him in his tracks and drew shouts of indignation from the owner. Hope the focker has to eat his pedigree chum through a straw! Anyway spent the first 12 miles worrying about the last 8. It worked out ok, despite a tough mile 19 and I picked it up for the last mile. Hopefully its the trailer for the movie "Lassie gets lucky in Amsterdam"

Not you too, KU!
Sub 3.05 is the target.
Don't think I've enough done in this cycle to go sub 3.
But if on the day everything somehow comes together and at mile 18 I'm close enough to sub 3, I won't be slowing down coz the target is sub 3.05
That said as stated repeatedly I won't even be starting off at 7 min pace so there'll be to much to do to get close to sub 3!
Next cycle I'll be singing the sub 3 tune

Plan today called for 4 miles very easy am and 6 miles easy pm.
This weeks session was brought forward a day to tomorrow so I decided to run this mornings run at recovery pace and this evenings at very easy pace.
Was happy with that decision as although the legs felt really good yesterday they had stiffened up considerably over night. First few miles were very slow and eventually got 5 miles in at 9.32 pace.
Eldest daughter was playing a semi final match in Craughwell this evening and as I got there early I decided to get a few miles in around the back roads of Craughwell rather than around Dublin later airport later (up in the big smoke tonight as heading to London very early tomorrow)
Lovely run around very quiet back roads interrupted occasionally by the odd barking dog (I had a fistful of pebbles at the ready in case the Jack Russells country cousins attempted a revenge attack)
Got 6 miles in @ 8.22, total for the day 11.
Haven't given up the ice cream Ferris, everything in moderation, including cutting back on excess

Today the plan called for 2m wu/cd and 6 x 1m at HMP off 90 sec recovery.
Was very tired as was over and back to London in the day and had a bad nights sleep last night. First thing I noticed when I got to the car park at the airport was the wind, it was fairly breezy. Met up with coach at the papal cross park but remembered to move the car this time ( was pissed though to see it wasn't locked at 7 tonight!!)
Wind,both internal and external, is an auld fat lads enemy but lucky enough for coach I didn't have to practice my pretend cough! The stretches into the wind were tough enough tonight but in general I found the session reasonably comfortable with controlled breathing and legs in pretty good nick.
We decided to keep the reps as consistent as possible on this one.
Another decent session in the bag and a couple of easy days now till Moone.
Splits:
6.38
6.33
6.31
6.27
6.28
6.27
10 miles for the day

After the session the kid (;)) did this morning, you should've/could've really put the squeeze on him tonight. I bet he'll sleep tonight.0 -

Ha ha Stazza, unfortunately I'm still twice his age, twice his weight and half the talent so unless I manage to fall on top of him I won't be putting squeeze on him anytime soon The fecker wasn't even slightly out of breath, was talking the whole way around!

He was probably only talking to save you having to do the pretend coughing:)0 -

Are you gonna go out hard Q or are you using it as a session?
I'll start stirring it early, are you gonna give DR a handicap

Hahaha I'm pretty sure we're both running this as an MP session in fairness -though to indulge your **** stirring until he beats one of my PBs(recent masters ones Tbf) he'll just have to run scratch 0 -

Great stuff, nothing like a bit of **** stirring to get the craic going. DR since it looks like Q's gonna have you in his rear view mirror, I'll take ya + 15 mins
