    Going to try an keep a log here. Read lots of others and it looks a good way to keep me motivated. Bit of background. Ran on the track when I was younger. 800-3000 metres. Was handy enough and made all Ireland's etc. lost the run of myself in my 20s and now am slowly getting back into things. My aim is to run the tralee marathon next year as it's my dad's neck of the woods. Was considering dublin but I've still some wait to loose and fitness to gain. Anyway so far this week

    M: 6 miles fastish on da roads
    T: 5 miles fartlek all on grass
    W: 6 miles very slowly. Was wrecked after two fast days
    T: 5.5 miles at a comfortable pace.

    Will probably update this once or twice a week. I have to find a few races to do in a month or so to get an idea how my training is going. Have never ran a marathon before so any advice on a good plan etc would be good

    Welcome to the forum. Not sure how much you've been doing in general but take it handy if you're just getting back into it. Rest days are important too. But good luck and keep it up.

    So how many rest days would you recomend. I only really take them when i am very tired or cannot get out because I have not got the time

    Well I'm not the most qualified to give you specific advice but it depends on your running history at this point. If you want to runa a marathon next year you would benefit from having a good base of running behind you when you start the plan. That will allow you to gradually ramp up the distances per week without risking injury. What's your current weekly mileage, averaged over the last few months?

    about 40 to 50 miles a week. I got a loan of a garmin so will start using that next week. If it goes well I might bye one.

    friday 7 fast miles was nice and sunny so just ran as hard as i could
    saturday 3 very slow miles. Was very tired after the run on friday
    sunday 9 good miles. very humid today

    am thinking of doing a time trial next week to help me set my paces. The garmin should help with this. I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980


    so ive got this garmin watch GPS as a loan and i am very impresed. I love seeing my paces and distance and I think it is going to help my training so will probably by one myself

    monday 7.12 miles in 50 minutes 3 seconds. I was feeling ok so let the legs go.
    tuesday 2.93 miles in 22 minutes 5 seconds. wanted to take it easy b4 the time trial
    wednesday 5k trial in 17 minutes 11 seconds. if you had of told me last month i could run 17 minutes for 5k i wood have been happy but i felt rubbish today and it just goes to show how much work i have to do to get back to where i was. tat probably won't happen but i would like to try and get close. I suppose it is a start. A friend of mine rekons i should try a park run. I had not heard of these but they look ideal. I do n't want to enter a real race just yet but these look perfect for me. I didn't have lap paces set up but i slowed down badly in the last 1 kilometre so have to continue working on my fitness

    thursday, wrecked. just about 20 minute run on grass. mite take tomorrow off. I think i strained my hamstring with the time trial yesterday. noting serious but will take it very easy. definitely not currently built for speed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980


    friday 35 minutes running on grass. legs feel in a bit better
    saturday 6 miles. headed to malahide to do the park run but did nt race it in the end. had forgot to register for a barcode and i was still very tyred so i just ran around with my friend
    sunday 8 miles in 60 minute 12 seconds. feeling good today


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,697 ✭✭✭Chivito550


    What are your track PBs if you don't mind me asking?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980


    Sure They are nearly 15 years old so they are not exactly current

    800 2.04
    1500 4.17
    3000 9.05
    5000 15.35


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980

    You ever think of just going out and time trialling a mara in the next few weeks just to set a marker?

    are you serious? I have not ran more than 15 miles this year. I am going to do a half marathon soon so will work off that. ive found a plan i think im going to follow and have my old school coach advisin' me too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 784 ✭✭✭Stazza


    Dar, if you need drinks or gels or anything, let me know - I'll be out on the course supporting. I don't know if you are aware but they've changed the course and made it substantially easier.

    They've taken out Barrow hill (v steep and a glycogen sapper) around the 10 mile mark and Fenit pier. They've also taken a 1k drag out around the 22 mile mark and a downhill stretch around 24.5. So, the first 15 miles are relatively flat with 9.5k of the Banna 10k in there (very flat). It still has a good few hills in the second half but it's defo a lot easier. If the weather's bad it'll be a beast out there but so far the weather's been great on race day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980


    thanks, sound slike i need to incorporate some hills into my training in the coming months


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980


    Monday day off because of interview and some socializing
    Tuesday 7 mile in 50 minutes exactly. Legs feeling fresh after day of rest
    Wednesday around 8 miles on grass nice and slow. No watch
    Thursday 6/7 miles with 8 by 800 meters with 100 seconds recovery. These were very tough. Ran them on a gravel track. First 3 where all below 2mins 30 seconds but last 5 were high 2.3s and last one was actually 2mins 44 seconds. Pretty bad wind on the back straight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980


    friday 5 miles decided to do a race on saturday so took it very easy the day before
    saturday i saw the simon comunity was organizing a 5 mile in the park so i went along. i ran this race years ago when was a kid so was looking forward to it i went out a bit to hard the first 2 miles around 5.30 to 5.40 pace. i really suffered the last 2 mils and finished in 31 minutes. got caught by first 2 ladies near the finish pissed off didnt break the 30 minutes but better pacing will help next time
    sunday 10 miles easy back to the park for this was hoping i could find someone to run with but had no luck. i bumped into an old friend who was on his bike and he stayed with me for a few miles so that did help


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 petitmember

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980

    tuesday did a easy run sweating like miley from glenroe
    wednesday ran for nearly 13 miles on the road think i might have shin splints. runners are in bits so decided to get a new pair before the weekend. went to amphibian king and bought a pair of new balance
    thursday first run in new balance and was like i was walking on air. kept off the grass because i want to keep them clean :) 40 minutes in total
    friday 5 miles very easy on the road
    saturday 20 minutes from res back into the city. went to expo with my friend to pick up jis number great atmosphere around
    sunday day off and a few afternoon pints not great idea day before long run
    monday ran the first 15 miles of the dublin marathon with my friend. i was going to keep going but i think i would have only lasted another 5 miles. i have friends around 15 miles so stopped off there and then got a lift back into city for the finish. my friend did really well. he ran under 4 hours but we probably ran first bit too hard. can't wait to run a marathon myself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980


    tuesday right off. lots of stout after the marathon. my marathon friend had a free bar threw work after the marathon so we lashed into the pints. free guiness or cars berg for 4 hours great stuff overdid it a bit
    wednesday still in a hape after monday. the beer and the 15 miles coin me no favours. didn't get out of bed until noon and just lay on the couch catchin up on some love hate and WWE raw
    thursday hour run on grass legs stiff but ok overall
    friday hour run on grass. well some local fields around by my mothers house. lumpy fields and went over on my ankle twice also picked up a hamstring tear
    saturday headed to popintree for the park run it was there first but had to drop out after 5 minutes hamstring very sore
    sunday no running just relaxed on the couch and put some frozen pees on the hamstrung
    monday no running but went to a new phsio and she had a look at my leg. said its only a twinge and i should relax it for a few days then come back to her. looking forward to heading back she's a good looking girl won't be telling the new GF that tho :)

    all in all a disaster of a week. can't believe i hurt the hamstring. doing the 15 miles and than drinking was silly. need to sort out a better plan and am thinking of joining a club to get a coach. need to see someone face to face and get real advice I'm close to the phoenix park and there is 4 mens clubs I've looked into. will head down and give them a shot when leg is better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭DarByrne1980


    tuesday, leg feeling a good bit better but did not run just did some gym work and worked on the guns :)
    wednesday mostly gym work today but also did a small 15 minute jog on the treadmill hamstring feeling a lot better
    thursday 40 minutes on grass leg a little stiff when i started but eased out and could not feel it by the time i finished
    friday 67 minute run around the roads. this was longer than planned i had to run to a shop and pick up a package and ran back to the house but onc i got home i realised i had no keys so kept on running until my housemate got home luckily he was only out for a few minutes or i could be still running :)
    saturday just took it handy today because of longer run yesterday hamstring is 110% very happy with it but stood on the scales this morning and it wasnt a good story. i am going backwards the last month
    sunday just in the door was so pissed off about my wait yesterday and also was on the beer yesterday for the rugby. wanted to burn some blubber. did a hour on the grass and will hit the gym and steam room later too

    i see people on the main page are givin out about the rant page so i think ill have my own rant in here. its about the hack of the muppets i met in dublin city yesterday. my cousin mike had a ticket for me for the rugby game so we went for a few drinks before the game. meself and mike look very alike accept he is about 5 stone heavier than me. i think we would be like identical twins if i went on a mcdonalds diet. we watched the liverpool chelsea game in a pub first and got some stick from a dwarf chelsea fan. when england new zealand was on he was cheering against england even tho the supports a english soccer team. i dont get that. eventually pulled mike out of the pub and we just about made the ireland game. great result. but the ting i noticed on my way upand later on that night is the number of peeps dresed in that hipster style. like skiny jean, dicky bows, converse runners and slacks. walkin around with books in there hands to make themselves look dead smart. then down beside the central bank there was tonnes of them accept they were teenagers they were all pissed and littered the place somethin terrible. to top it off big mike wanted to go for a ice cream. the stupid hipster ice cream place sold salt ice cream. it had the taste & texture of a stallions jip. we sat down to eat it and tere was a hipster fella doing sketches in a book trying to look smart he was wearing shorts and it was freezin out. some other ejits playin connect 4 in da corner. an old farmer friend of mine said to me about 10 years ago that we would be strangers in our own country soon. he was dead write. fcuk the water charges revolt im startin a hipster revolt. if michael collins seen these ejits hed be disgusted

    God that's an early marathon. mid-February! I didn't even know about that one, seem to be quite a few of the smaller marathons that don't advertise so well.

    Think you are doing pretty well on the mileage though :)
