Wednesday evening - Meath Running Group
I started with the Meath Running group this evening.. Block 1 is an 8 week Core and conditioning class once a week. We did 3 laps of the track to warm up and then spent the rest of the time stretching...i really enjoyed this and it was tough at times but what I badly need!!!
Was up in Claremont myself for this. You must be one of the many new faces in the group this year. Can't make it next week but I'm sure I'll see you again at some stage

Sat 17th - 4.81m including 8 x 70sec hills - Garmin Link
headed out to do this with a tired body that was starting to feel the effects of my two exercise classes on Wed & Thur evening and it was probably punishment for being so cocky on Friday that there "wasn't a bother on me":o
I wasn't sure if i was going to do the hill reps or just run my "hilly" course for 5m (its more drags and inclines with 1 or 2 proper hills)
when i got the warmup done i decide to head to the next hill and do 3 or 4 hills. This hill i was hardly able to walk up when i started trying to get fit a few years ago...i took the first rep nice and handy and was happy with the way it felt so walked back down and did the next couple....a few of the recoveries are a bit longer than others as texting while walking makes you go a bit slower:rolleyes:
Splits are a bit uneven
warm-up 1.17m @ 10.13/154
.14m in 1.15 @ 9.04/176 with 2.02 rec @17.07/144

1m @ 10.27/162

(probably way too much info there but i just copy & past from my excel sheet;))
i was delighted to manage the full 8 reps without feeling the need to p:eek:ke....and ran home happy out....within an hr my back was killing me:eek:
spent the rest of the day walking between parades, bouncy castles and fire works...but had a few Miller to celebrate St Patrick day and really enjoyed them...but no more now till end of Lent
Sunday 18th - 10.12m in 1.44.53 @10.22/152 Garmin Link
Woke up this morning to breakfast in bed from the kids & lovely flowers and presents containing special kisses and lots of excitement:D
got up to discover that i could hardly walk :eek: The base of my back and the middle of my backside were killing me....OH had to go unexpectedly to work so i didn't have to worry about getting out for a run for a while...i went back to bed to rest it:rolleyes: with some heat on it(i know it probably should have been ice:rolleyes:) and after finishing my book, it was much better....but i still wasn't sure if i would be able to run on it
OH got home after lunch and i decided i'd head out at about 3 and see how far i could go....it wasn't too bad as i started off so i just kept going...from time to time it got very uncomfortable especially going down any sort of a hill and God only knows what i looked like
managed the full 10 miles and as soon as i stopped it ceased up again...its fine when im moving but when i stop and try to go again im hobbling and im waddling like a nine mth pregnant woman:(...I'll have to see whats the story tomorrow...think its just tired!!!!!:eek:

Rested Monday and let my back recover....much better TG:D
Tuesday 20th - 5.51 m in 56.00 @10.10/151
When i started running, my back was very sore but it started to ease out so i kept going:) It was a lovely and relaxed run and i didn't keep checking the watch, just covered it and went with the flow. Seemed to get fast as i went along, but nothing new there from me;) I found it very warm out but lovely day for a run!!

Wednesday 21st - 5.53 in 50.58 @9.13/160
wasn't sure going out if i was going to take this one easy or do a few at HM pace...i went too fast in mile 2 so had to pull back and they got slower as i went along, but enjoyed the run and as i slowed for the cooldown the back started to tighten up...so plenty of stretching done after and its fine again now!! again another warm and muggy day

Friday 23rd - 9.10m in 1:27:44 @ 9.38/161 Garmin link
Had to get my LSR in or it mightn't have got done at all..Time was against me and i ran out of "hard shoulder" on the road and i didn't fancy trying to add in a half mile up and back on the side roads so decided a 9m would do, better than nothing. I was feeling comfortable for all of this, it was very warm at stages and cool at others, wind in my face for the return run of this out and back...
m1=9.43/150, m2=9.36/158,
m3=9.32/159, m4=9.38/163,
m5=9.40/164, m6=9.37/161,
m7=9.44/165, m8=9.37/163,
m9=9.34/168, m(.11)10.12/178
My long runs always end on a half mile drag uphill so tends to raise the HR
Sunday 25th - 7.12m in 1:08:02 @ 9.34/162 Garmin Link
This run was done on the Prom in Salthill and it was a beautiful sunny day. Very busy as i set off just after midday after the big hotel breakfast had settled. I spent a lot of time weaving in and out among people but it didn't take from the enjoyment of running by the sea. Lucky those who can do it everyday!!!
Again a very comfrotable run and the hangover wasn't long about being blown out to sea:o

m3=9.34/163, m4=9.35/164,

;)Wednesday 28th - 6.03m in 57:35 @ 9.33/160 Garmin Link
The plan here was 1mile warmup followed with 5 x 800m @10k pace with 1m cooldown.....this all went to plan except for the 10k pace bit:eek:...pace turned out to be faster than my 5k pace, but it didn't kill me!!!(yet) I definitely need to pay more attention to pace!!!..but i never listen to myself!!!!!:rolleyes:
I am 3 years running in the Phoenix Park and today was my first day ever running on the Polo grounds... and I have to say I loved it and will definitely be there more often....only problem was that either the sun is playing havoc with the satellites or my Garmin is getting banjaxed.... I had to keep running further to get my distance to .5m...distance should be the same no matter what the speed is ...(i think)...but i had to run further each time to make up the distance and i was following the track so i wasn't cutting corners etc!!!!
anyway the splits were as follows:
Warm up - 1.1m=9.58/149
5 x 800m with recovery
1= .50m in 3:39 @7.16/177 with .21m in 3.02 @11.44/139
2= .50m in 3.48 @7.36/174 with .12m in 2.10@ 18.49/143
3= .51m in 3.48 @7.29/174 with .14m in 2.08 @15.48/149
4= .51m in 3.48 @7.30/177 with .13m in 2.03 @16.21/149
5=.50m in 3.48 @7.37/177 with .14m in 2.21 @16.24/144
Cool Down- 1.68m in 15.59 @ 9.30/165
Total 6.03 miles
