I'm a married 35 yr old father of one, started running in late 2010 to accompany my Dad on a race and done nothing again till March 2011. Ran the Clontarf Half that year in under 1.45 and again done nothing for 3-4 months. Started taking it more seriously in 2012 and hoped to run DCM that year but a bout of plantar faciitis put an end to that.

Started back again in October 2012 and from then till May 2013 i was in my best form since i took running up. Ran all my PBs in that period. Cue June last year i went in for a supposed simple operation that would see me off running for max 6 weeks, two knee ops later i'm back running since mid February and back chasing my old self. List of my PBs below:

5k - 18.47 (May 13)
5mile - 31.43 ( April 13)
10k - 41.10 (February 13)
10 mile - 67.39 (March 13)
Half Marathon - 1.31.39 (May 13)

Any input/advice/abuse greatly appreciated.

Your pacer better be at home calculating splits for your goal time although he doesn't seem sure what that is....

Nice job on the 16 miles, I thought you said 6 earlier :rolleyes:

Well done tang.
You should mention that those 6 hour days have 4 hours of tea breaks:).

Same milage as me this week and I feel the same way. Any sane person would say 52 miles is an awful lot of running. Unfortunately we left sanity behind a long while ago.:)

And the other two hours is spent eating snack boxes or a Chinese!!!! Oh the sanity is long long gone P.

Your splits are always so consistent - are you monitoring the pace during each rep and adjusting or do you have a built-in metronome (because that would be cool :cool:)

It's called a mixture of OCD, Garmin watching and being completely anal when it comes to stuff like that. Sad I know!!!
