It was great to chat with you HelenAnne! I had been really nervous beforehand but then got talking to you and forgot all the nerves. Congrats again on your PB, and good luck for Sunday, assume that's still on the plan ?

We exchanged a high five and a few words, yes. Well done again.

Lol, I have my heart set on the 1 mile when I get back to track sessions (after the marathon for definite) and jingle bells for the 5k ;-)

^^^^ temptress.... :mad:

When they say everyone welcome do they really mean it? I'd like to give track a go, but would be doing well to do a 7 minute mile.

They really do! Last year I did the mile on two occasions and they divided it into two races: sub 6 and 6+ mins with plenty of us in the latter group. Very friendly and welcoming set up.

Thank you! It was a 2 sec PB, I suppose, but why couldn't I have pulled out a 4-secs faster sprint at the end

. Were you running or cheering? If running, how did you get on??

Oh well done!! It's great to get a pb and even better when it's under a round number! ðŸ˜€

ETA: don't know what those symbols above are, they were meant to be congratulatory smiley faces.

What did you go through the first mile in? I ran 19:47 and went through the first mile in 5:35!!! Not sure if the marker was in the wrong spot, or if it was down to my incredibly poor ability to pace distance races.

I'm not v happy with my pacing either:

6.28, 6.41, 6.18, 0.38

Mile one was about what I wanted to run (I was aiming for about 6.30, 6.30, 6.20 - but I know I'll need to go faster in future to be sure), but I don't know what happened in mile 2! I know there was a drag, but I was concentrating on keeping the pace up, and I was passing so many people that I thought I was doing ok. I should have looked at my watch more.

Well done, you! You must have been neck-and-neck with my clubmate, she ran 19.47 as well.

Sorry to derail thread but, v, v nice to meet you again on Saturday. I didn't recognise you with your hair down. Annapr & Murph D have the same sort of (v nice!) hairstyles while running or every-daying, but yours looked very different!

Hmmn, I think you mean me? Anna and D don't have hair to tie up? Sorry you didn't make the table, disgustingly close and a great run by you.

Ah that's fairly good pacing. First mile is downhill. To make you feel better here's my splits:

5:34
7:15 (including a 1:11 from 3k to 2mile WTF)
6:56 (for last 1.1 miles, I missed the 3 mile marker)

Bit silly having splits in miles for a km measured race.

Yeh there were 2 girls near me in the closing stages, one from Raheny and one from Boherneen, judging by the pics. I managed to kick past them in the last 50 or so.

The Raheny girl is my clubmate. I saw her lining up, but started a few rows back as she's faster than me (as our results show

), but I wish now I'd tried to keep her in sight and chased her. Next time!

I actually really liked the mile markers as I don't really have a feel for kilometre pacing. I can't imagine the effort needed for a 4 min km, for example, while I can more easily estimate if I'm running a 6.30 mile (though I am far from exact). I think that's because I run a lot of 2 and 3-mile races.

I'm the one with the nice hair too.
Great to see you Helen and am sure will see you before Jingle Bells. Sorry about the 3 seconds, cruel.

For those in the Greystones area another opportunity to tick off your mile time

https://www.facebook.com/events/476183709210375/

Kilcoole Athletic Club will hire Charlesland Athletic Track for 2 hours on 10 October, between 12.00 – 2.00 pm (note - latest possible time for entry is 1.45 pm), to host a ‘run a mile…’ charity event. During this time the track will be available for everybody – runners and non-runners – to come along, ‘run (or walk) a mile’, and make a financial contribution (suggested donation – adults €10; children €any) to aid the most vulnerable of refugees. Participants can race it, run it, jog it, or walk it, and can even cut it short if a mile is too much of a challenge. It will be open to all ages, and every cent raised will go to UNICEF’s children’s refugee fund. It will be a fun event, so we ask you to make a special effort to come along on the day and ‘run your mile’, and would be delighted if you could advertise this event as widely as possible among your family and friends. Track rules determine that appropriate running shoes and loose clothing must be worn.
