yeah we were bit fells alright. I personally was 22ish stone at my biggest but i didnt weight myself till i lost some weight so i dont know exactly how big i was. Was the guts of a stone lighter than this when i started running but my legs have tripled in size since.

Oisin11178 · 25-05-2011 02:02PM

Stuck in work so did 3 slow, untimed again just to get the legs moving. 6,10,6 hopefully the weekend nothing to fast and a few 10ks during the week before cork.

What's even more impressive is not just loosing the weight but keeping it off sth I've struggled with, fantastic stuff Oisin.

First run after a couple of rest days after the physio. Legs are fine but i ate just before going out so had brutal heart burn during the run.
Amzing how it effects your breathing. Wasnt to bad although it was hot enough.
A few more like that during the week and a few rest days before cork.

wanted to do a 10k about my marathon pace from barca and see how the legs were.
Stomach was still at me but not as much as the last couple of days. First mile was about 7.20 in reality but my garmin measured it about .05 long, bit of a pain but the rest seemed ok.

Oisin11178 · 02-06-2011 10:20PM

10k recovery pace. Rest now till cork.

Oisin11178 · 06-06-2011 06:19PM

3.29.14 down in cork, 3.30 pacer. Good day all around. Good course and well meaured and good water stations. Could have done maybe another 10 miles at that pace at a stretch but the legs were sore at the end.

Oisin11178 · 18-06-2011 06:37PM

I know what the true meaning of pain is now. Went through every pain and emotion today.
10.20.5x
ill do a report when I get home

RacoonQueen · 19-06-2011 10:39AM

Well done again. Whole different story to Connemara isn't it - mentally the 50 miles was so can't imagine how much different the 100k is. 39 is like a light jog...

Bet yee enjoyed the beers.

According to Yiannis Kouros that means you just ran your first ever "real" ultra.
