Ahh no shaz you have been there on the sidelines shouting abuse encouragement at me for a few now so i feel its my duty as your friend to return the favour... i insistYou do have other friends running it so no excuse to bail...just saying like
:D
I agree with Shazkea, Nules10 you don't have to race it, use it as a training run, especially if you you have paid your entry!!!
And you have all your Boards friends to put faces to names!!!:p
haven't paid the entry fee anne she bailed before we got to that point. You could always just write your boards user names on the numbers 0 -

Hurry another one to add to the list:D
That was a great race, well organised and something different(ie a mug) at the finish!!
It was my first 5k so a PB was guaranteed but have to say was delighted with 25.38
found parts of the course tough with the wind but overall it was a great course. Well done to Donore for a great event!
Took a while to thaw out after the race but fine now at home drinking tea from new mug
Nules10 great to meet you after the race and fair play to you for spotting me and coming over to chat.
I didn't make it to the club house after as i went straight home to thaw out:eek:
I hope anyone else who was running enjoyed it and were happy with a great event!!!0 -

The training post-DCM wasn't going too great... e... sorry, did I say "training"? I managed to do only 5 runs since DCM
mostly slow 3 milers.
On top of that, last Saturday my left knee went a bit stiff and sore mid-run.
Last week I started some core training, and other workouts at home, and on Tuesday I thought it would be great idea to find out how many squats and standing calf raises I can do (150 & 100). As you can expect, I paid the price - my quads were sore for next 3 days, and right calf got so sore I tough I tore something there :mad:. A year ago I could do 200 squats with much less after-effect. Luckily the soreness mostly passed by Friday.
I had a table tennis league match Friday evening, so went to bed around 1am. Had alarm clock set for 6:30am... but after snoozing through few following alarms in the end I got up at 8:40am :eek: I had my porridge, shower, dressed up and left around 9:30 for Luas. Arrived at St. Stephens Green before 10, and it was too late to risk a bus, so I got a taxi. Luckily not much traffic and arrived at the start area at 10:30. Very cold and windy morning, but luckily no rain Did my usual warm up, few minutes of jogging, static and dynamic stretching, and few strides. I wasn't even feeling too cold by then, although I had only shorts, t-shirt, thin running hat and gloves.
I started in the middle of sub-25 section and was hoping to finish under 25, especially with a bit iffy knee and bad preparation. Went out quite fast, overtaking people. I checked my time around 1 mile and it was about 7 minutes, but I was dying already :eek: Slowed down a bit, but HR stayed around 180. By the end of second mile, I had to take off the hat and gloves as I was roasting :P also got a stitch. Then a girl with a buggy had overtaken me :eek: I was trying to speed up a bit, but anyway, she was too much ahead.
I was very happy to finally cross the finish line, and just after it drop on the grass and sit for few minutes. Totally wrecked! No problems with the knee during the race though.
Time: 0:21:3x (4:17/km, avg HR 178, max 188)
splits (min. per km / avg. HR)
4:13/167, 4:25/179, 4:22/180, 4:30/179, 3:56/185
Very happy with the result!
PS no more races until I recover completely and manage to train properly

Dave I would love to call a sub2 half a training run I think maybe just do the shorter runs this week and taper you don't want to over do it before Saturday especially if you haven't been well. Well that's what I would
Do but as you know I am no expert and someone with more experience can advise you better. 0 -

Yeah I am looking forward to it now. Was glad to have something to
Focus on after the marathon. I think I will leave the sub2 attempt till the new year though. Not sure my legs are 100% ready for a sub2 attempt on Saturday but you know yourself when you are lined up we always have to give it a bash 0 -

Ah it's a great feeling alright. Although I would not know what a sub 8min/mile felt like I would probably vomit after it. Have you revised you plan so for Saturday 0 -
