    Thread still very quiet. Pop Up races must be turning a few heads.

    I'll probably do some shorter distance faster pace sessions next, like 400s and 800s.

    Didn't quite follow through on doing faster paced stuff but it was a shorter distance at least. No harm as a 3 k pace is new to me so I need tuning in. For, my second session last week I did 12x400s @ 3k pace with 1 minute recovery so times of 77-80 seconds on a breezy day.

    No LSR on Sunday. I decided on a 10k TT instead simply because I'm in as good a shape as I have been and just to see what I'd manage. Didn't result in any soreness or serious fatigue going into this week thankfully.

    This week. 1 session of 20x(40s/30s) Intervals with the hard efforts targeted at just above 3 k pace. Missed the pace on 3 or 4 of them I think. This was the toughest session I've done in a while. Legs good and bxxxxxed today. If they recover enough I'm definitely doing faster paced stuff next. I owe myself an 800m TT too.

    What time did you do in the 10k time trial? :)

    I'd no relevant PB to compare against so was thinking I'd be in the 38 something range. A bit of a shock to run 37:07.

    The McMillan calculator predicts a 3 km time of 10:10 based on that. It does mismatch my current mile time by about 10 seconds though so... Basically it looks like I'm in for another nailbiter trying to crack these round numbers ;)

    1 week to go, time doesn't be long ticking by, does it!?

    I won't bore (log already does that!) with the details but I've been doing bits and bobs, and a bit like yourself Dubh G, I'm in some of the best shape I've ever been thanks to the consistency of Covid. (lucky me, I acknowledge)

    10 minute TT, who knows though! I'll need to figure out a "strategy" late next week..:-)

    i'm going to have to pull out of this. Strained my calf, it's on the mend but with my complete inability to pace myself I know i would go out full tilt and don't want to put that much stress on it so soon :(

    Can I be reassigned to the 10min challenge, turns out running a 10k TT on your wedding anniversary is frowned upon, who would have thought!!

    Maybe not as much buzz because folks are training for different distances?

    Have been doing a few mile specific sessions for the last couple of weeks so hoping for some improvement on the previous one but I'm having some issues with the leg I broke last year, possibility hill related. Anyway, looking forward to next week and seeing if I can meet the planned target!

    Whinge Alert

    I'm battered and bruised. In body and mind :pac: Our house was raided by Gardai last week and yesterday I had a disagreement with the bathroom floor as it flew out from under me :o

    I'm so all over the camp I haven't picked a route yet. I don't want hills... well I dont want to be a total wuss and avoid them altogether, but I really don't want them in the second half and they're so big around here! I was going to do the local parkrun route, but apparently there's a weirdo hanging around in the bushes trying to grab kids. Although I certainly couldn't be mistaken for a child (except perhaps in height :D) the way my luck is going I'm not taking any chances :eek:

    I have a vague idea of where I might go, so we'll see how it goes. I'm not one of those that can 'smash it' despite adversity. I just hope I can try harder than I planned and finish up happy I did all I could.

    You can't seriously throw that out there without telling us why it was raided!

    Ok now that you 2 have filled us in with your scheduled extra curricular activities we will get back to the TT ;)

    The few sessions I have been doing have been going really well! Wasn't as hyped up for this as the other TT's but after today's session i'm feeling really good & now looking forward to testing out my ability! Hopefully we get some nice weather too...always a bonus :D

    Went out today to plan my route for next week.. Ended up bumping in to a county council van with rubbish on the back and spotted 3 lovely garden chairs. He said he'd leave them in a spot for me.

    Rang my husband to collect them... Had a bit of a back and forth while he asked why we needed them :confused: .

    Whatever about the Time Trial next weekend... I'm delighted with myself that I was able to call my husband, give instructions and have a full blown argument all at what McMillan tells me is my 10k training pace :pac: Which happened to be the pace I did the 5k TT at and I was half dead doing it :D

    *boom*

    *mic drop*

    *moonwalks out*

    Headed over the the Phoenix Park today to check out next week's 10k route (the National 10k / GIR course). I know the Park pretty well by now but I've never run this particular combination of roads, which offers a few sharp enough hills in the first half, and the North Road drag in the second. I'll have my work cut out for me trying to pace this one properly!

    I week to go and I *think* I'm ready for this one.
    Phoenix Park is the venue. Couple of laps of Chesterfield Ave/North Rd and finish off at the gates.

    Interesting route - up Chesterfield or up North Road (or one of each?)

    Interesting route - up Chesterfield or up North Road (or one of each?)

    Starting off on North Rd, just around by Hole in the Wall, head towards gates to the Aras, turn left up Chesterfield, hang a right onto North Rd and back down again. Do this twice. After second loop, back onto Chesterfield in opposite direction, around by the back of the polo grounds and down towards the main gate.

    Think that’s a R up Chesterfield. Fast finish! Good luck.

    That's 4 (5 if you round down Edinrunna's very specific distance) 10 minuters with a target of 2.8km! what's so popular about that length??? I chose it a little (very) arbitrarily...

    Mini battle there...:-)

    I looked to see what your target was and said "yeah il have that guy!" :cool:

    Its a realistc but stretch goal for me. I would love to do the 3k in 10mins, but its just not in my system, if i do the 2800m it will actually be faster than my Mile TT time from last one, so il take that as an improvement.

    (And perhaps will push on to see how long the 3K takes, but more than likely will pack it in as soon as the 10min pain train is over!)

    Best of luck on Saturday!

    Got a cramp in my right calf that worsened over a number of days, and while I'm back running I haven't done anything faster than a jog for 2 weeks.
