Hi everyone,I have decided to start a training log as I enjoy reading other peoples so maybe people will enjoy reading mine, any advice would be warmly welcome, a little backround I first started running in 2001 to 2002 in order to loose weight and just found that I loved it and became an addict.
A few race times from that period are 21/7/02 Irish runner 5 mile 33:49
07/8/02 Naas 4 mile 25:56
06/07/2002 5K Phoenix pk 20:10
25/08/2002 Longford marathon 4:37
07/09/2002 cityswift 10 mile 69:17
I was gutted not to break 20 in the 5k but I ran a mountain race 3 days earlier in Maulin which wrecked me. After doing the Longford marathon which really broke my love of running and gave me a slight knee problem, I tried one more race but in the last mile of that cityswift my knee went again and I limped over the line.
The lessons I learned where valuable 1:Don't do all your training on the road, 2: buy good runners and change them every 2,3 months and 3: not every training session should be hard and against the clock.
I;m currently into week 9 of my training which is 6 days a week and a crosstrain day.
Mon: easy 4 mile followed by a tabata protocol and alot of stretching
Tue: Indoor football
Wed: 4 Mile which includes 1/4 mile fast,1/4 mile slow and a 1 mile test at max speed
Thur: easy 3 mile
Fri: 5 mile of hills
Sat:4 mile easy
Sun slow 7 mile
I own a garmin 305 which is an excellent tool helps me get my distance spot on.I'm currently trying to lose a few more pounds I'm 5:9 and 172 lbs was 183lbs at week 1.
I have done 2 races to date the paddys day 5k in 26:33 which does not correspond with the website results. and the great Ireland run in 54:52, my next race probably the rte 5 mile if not I have already registered for the 5 mile classic in the middle of May.
My main objective this year is an injury free Dublin marathon in 4 hours, I plan to start the Hal Higdon intermediate 2 program on the 23rd of June.
I have recently given up work to be a stay at home dad, I also have a treadmill whish I use for my traing, its great when I bring the oldest to school she is 4 the other watches her cartoons for an hour,she is a good girl.She is 2.I'll keep you guys informed as much as possible, Really enjoy sungods,ike,robbicosta,amadeus,hunnymonster and many others.
