Woke up on Monday with a heavy head cold and tight groin, don’t think they are interrelated but both were an issue
Wasn’t sure if I’d be able to run but decided to try something local and very easy. Managed a slow 5k reasonably ok but decided I’d take a step back week as I’ve been putting in a decent effort lately and the body probably needed a break.
The rest of the week saw me just doing slow 5k plods, was delighted my daughter ran 3 or 4 of these with me (we always used to end up rowing when I’d suggest she’d join me for a run, makes a nice change she’s volunteering, maybe she’s hoping that Santa goes large this year)
On Thursday I ran for the 40th consecutive day and on Friday I did a 1 on 1 boxing session that had me in bits. Got into the car in a sweaty heap and noticed that it was very low on charge so drove to the nearest charge station, did a superman change in the car and got 5k done around UCG while the car was charging.
Hadn’t been to the physioterrorist in a while and the visit this week was a bit painful. Got the shoulders, back and glutes needled. Good news is that the back is stable but my glutes were very tight. I’m not great with needles and I nearly passed out when she showed me the size of the needle used for your arse! (See attached pic with parental advisory:))
The muscles were so tight she bent a few of those Zulu war spears!
Just over 22 miles for the week, hoping for a decent effort this week.

This week was all about getting back into the grove after last weeks step back due to a heavy cold and groin tightness.
While the cold had disappeared the groin has been a bit stubborn and still achey. It’s not too bad when running slow or steady but an injection of any “pace” irritates it so I decided to increase the mileage this week and not do any speed work
Mon: 5 mile easy plod, in miserable weather and fading light. Happy with a bit of company as my daughter ran it with me.
Tue: decided to run this a little faster, ran a local loop of just over 7 miles @ 8.30 pace. Groin didn’t get any worse and was happy with the effort.
Wed: 1 on 1 boxing session. Elbows, knees and kicks on the heavy bag and a savage session on the pads had me in bits. I love these sessions they’re a great physical and mental workout but I don’t think I’d ever get in the ring, I think I’d cry if I got a thump and besides I’m too pretty to countenance facial scarring
I had brought my young lad with me and while he had his session I got a 4 mile cool down trot done.
I’m currently making a call out video to Jake Paul to see will he fight me for €50 mil
Thur: long stressful day and Mrs TbL was all picture and no sound, so after 6 I decided I’d get out for my first run in the dark in yonks. For all ye Pale dwellers, Connemara dark is different, you can’t actually see sh1t, no fancy street lights around here! I couldn’t find my head torch so I’d to make do with my 10 year olds “toy” one. You’d get more lumens from a glow worms mickey but it was better than nothing. Dangerous running around the village so I drove up to Rossaveal cross and headed up the Seanadh Pheidtin mountain. Nice evening for it but I’m always nervous running in the dark so the pace was slow. 8 miles @ 9.01
Fri: limited window to run today as I was back to the physioterrorist for shoulder and glute needling and I’m not supposed to run for 24 afterwards. Managed to get 4 slow miles done with the dog before work. Was very stiff and slow, auld age, an ugly running style and tight muscles made this a bit of a chore.
If I get out Sat, Sunday will be my 50th straight day running, 6 months ago I’d have thought that physically impossible!

Decent week just gone for me. The (forced) focus was more on building up the mileage than speed.
Ended up running my 50th straight day, highest mileage week in donkeys and my longest run in 5 years!!!
Sat: usually go out with my daughter for a few miles before watching Stoke but I got up very late and she’s already run with her brother so I headed out myself around the local roads. Got just over 7 miles done easy.
Sun: had taken an Epsom salt bath Saturday night and the body felt in ok shape for an old lad so I headed off with a target of 15 miles in my head. A bit windy but otherwise a beautiful day for a run. I was doing an out an back run from the house that I won’t be doing again as lots of drivers were complete w@nkers forcing me into the ditch. Had the wind at my back, was constantly checking for “engine warning lights” but felt good and didn’t turn until the 8.7 mile mark.
Despite a strong enough wind into my face I felt good enough to take some detours to add more miles and I didn’t fade until about mile 16 and even then I felt ok. Ended up with 19.1 miles and was slightly peeved that I didn’t do 20. Average pace was around 8.40 and all considered I was delighted with that run. The body also felt good afterwards although my quads took a mashing.
I must have an addiction because Sunday night had me looking at the marathon calendar for 2021...
One 4 miler, two five milers, two 7 milers, one 8 miler and the long run for a total of 55 weekly miles
Need to try and now incorporate some speed and mileage in the same week.
Happy Christmas

I’m at the age where every bit of me is stiff except the bit that should be Is this the male menopause!
This weather isn’t helping, only a few years ago I’d run in any weather in shorts and a t shirt, maybe a base layer if it was Artic! I was only short of a hot water bottle when I ventured out on Saturday and still couldn’t get warm.
Sat: 5k very easy with my daughter, she’s actually starting to get into the running and today she ran 21k off her own bat! I’m delighted as I think exercise is the best thing for kids.
Sun: another cold day but the sun was out. I decided I do 8 to 9 miles with 3 at tempo, I’d 6.50, 6.40 & 6.30 paces in my head but given lack of recent speed work I thought this might be overly ambitious.
Did this on a local loop and I was glad I was wearing a high vis t shirt as the amount of dickhead drivers that bombed past me on slippery side roads was ridiculous. I’d planned on doing the tempo stuff towards the end of the run where I knew the road would be exposed to the sun and no ice. The first few miles had the old engine spluttering and once I got to the stretch I’d to convince myself to speed up, “just try the first one and see...”
Initially the change in pace found me labouring but I got into it. Mile one came in at 6.50, happy with that, mile two I started to fast and had to reel it back, 6.39. At this stage I didn’t care what mile 3 came in at at this stage as I’ve done little speed work. Was tiring badly but not completed banjacked and if it wasn’t for two 90• turns at the end I’d have been quicker than the 6.25.
Jogged home for 8.5 miles in total. Was delighted with that run, Strave said I did 2 miles in 13.02 so I’ll need to revise down my 2 mile trial run time.
Need to try and get some more 6.30 miles in the legs going forward.
The downside is that I was very stiff for the next couple of days.
Mon: a horrible run around a rock hard bumpy frozen solid pitch while stiff as a poker. Only consolation was my son ran it with me.
Tue: another easy 4 miles with the dog. Still stiff still cold!
When I posted here years ago when I did a call out for running dates I’d be inundated with offers. Maybe ye new posters don’t know how pretty I am but when restrictions are eased it’d be great if someone would volunteer to pace me to a sub 20 5k. I’m prepared to travel and I bring flowers and chocolates, just ask Tang
No races sucks!!!

I owe you one, so I'll happily pace you
Alright, if there’s no one else...:)
Thanks a mil, used to run with some army lads around the plains but if you could pick a less challenging route that’d be great
Appreciate it.
The minute restrictions allow travel I’ll be pestering you!!!!

Says the man who shared pics of 50 shades of thigh foam on Strava:eek:
I'd say you are chomping at the bit to get back to the Moy Valley carpark days;)
He used to hide his lucozade in the bushes and after a couple of laps he’d ask me if I wanted to come in for a swig! They tended to be my fastest laps!!!
Hope you’re well M

Sorry to drag this log back up to running related matters, but if there’s room for any more wannabe sub-20 hopefuls, let us know when this is happening. I reckon I can hide behind TbL and take him in the last 200.
Whoopee.... a race. PacemakersPacers at the ready:pac: Might have to arrange live streaming this "event".0 -
