Can someone tell me how to get the multiquote working??
I did a post on that a while back and got the contact details for sume of the clubs in Dublin - can give them to you if you are interested - but I am not sure if you are Dublin based.
I reckon the treadmill is much better than no running for sure but for me its a boredom thing and I just get sooooo bered on the treadmill. We have a small gym where I work and there are tvs on the treadmill and even with a tv I just find I get bored.
There is a little monster at the back of my brain today going "Waterford HM, Waterford HM, Waterford HM"...can anyone tell me how to switch him off?? :eek::eek:
Multiquote - under each post you want to include click the "multiquote icon (which is the 2nd one I think, the one with the "+ beside it). The full texts of all the posts will show, delete as appropriate. I am useless at using it, too lazy to delete everything!
Thanks for that fungirl, but I ament in the Dublin area
And Im loling here at the Waterford Hm thing! I have the same thing in my head today!! I think I will apply this week! Need some motivation!

Right finally on the net after Saturday in Dublin, my target was between 2hours - 2hours 15min, I managed it in 1hour 56min and 48sec. Very happy with the result
Def signing up for the half in Waterford in December, going to wait till next year for Dublin Marathon though
Couldn't be happier with the result since I only started running in Feb of this year and back then I was nearly dead after 2km
To all the pacers, seriously thanks a million for running slower then you normally would just for all of us. Between everything I meant to say hello as was told most of you are boards's but didn't get the chance0 -

Great seems like a good few are signing up for Waterford so will hopefully see you there
Is anyone else doing the Donadea (Kildare) 10km on Oct 16th? http://www.donadearunningclub.com/gpage9.html
I'm thinking of using it as my comeback from injury race as there were good reports about it on the forums here last year.0 -

30 squid is rather steep for a 10KM, the half in Waterford is cheaper than that.0 -

Oooh hadn't noticed that. Maybe I should do a bit more searching for 10kms in Oct - anyone know any other ones? 0 -

Back in the saddle myself today.
Did 3 miles this morning, pushed the pace a little faster than usual.
Time: 28.47.
Happy enough for first proper run since my half and injuries etc.
Onwards and upwards. Hopefully this cold that is threatening wont develop.. sinuses at me all day but okish yet. Fingers crossed my training isnt interrupted again!0 -

Yip!! I have just entered online :eek: (bites nails furiously!)
I am already nervous!! haha
I really want to do well in this one and I am afraid I am setting myself up for a fall!!
Take it easy with the training and don't push yourself too much, you'll do fineDoes anyone know the route? Is it relatively flat etc? Ive never even been to Waterford before! Might fit in some shopping in Dublin the next day too!
You can see the route here http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/ireland/waterford/7136216155010 -

Thanks Cabaal.
I seen the route on there alright, but I couldnt see anything about elevation etc. Anyway, Ill assume as elvisjones says above, that its relatively flat.0 -

2. Yungwan are you also doing the intermediate program? Am terrified of becoming obsessed completely if running 5 days a week! I am already getting funny looks in the pub on a Friday night when I am refusing drink because of LSR on Saturday!!
Switch the LSR to Sunday instead?
Thats what I've done anyway0 -
did 400m x 5 on the treadmill at work at a mix of 11km ph and 11.5km per hour - which is v fast for me..managed to do it without a heart attack.

Well done on the speed training.... I only managed 2 of the 5 before a deluge of rain forced me home (the OH pulled up in the car beside me and it would have been rude to say no!) - if I had brought shampoo with me I could have had my shower out there and all!
Yungwan does not like speed training (but it is a neccessary evil!)
Anyway, yes I am roughly following the intermediate HH plan. But I am being realistic. With family commitments etc I am going to omit one of the runs. So I will be doing two short runs and one speed session during the week, with the LSR on Sat or Sun (depending on my socialising plans!) So 4 days in total. I think this is a good balance for me, and its still training most days of the week
haha
I figure consistency is the key, and if I push myself during the training I do do, its better than giving a mediocre effort 5/6 days a week.0 -
