Just updating a couple of my times. Good to see a lot more people including their results. Hoping to get the 800m time if I'm feeling a little better next week (graded meets). Could of course divide my mile time by two, but it just seems a little more real to include a time from the specific distance. Will be 'fun' doing an 800m track race anyway.

As for the 400m, it just doesn't look like i'll be able to find a 400m race. I'm flying out of the country on the day of the AAI masters events, which I would otherwise have entered. So if anyone knows of any open or club 400m races, please shout! How long are you around for Pisco Sour? Maybe I'll get you to pace me for a sub 60 400 on the track?

Hmmm, that's abit of a pointless pursuit to be honest, no chip timing system is ever as accurate as a finishline photo system that they use on the track, to the second is as good as you should go! Two big factors are how big is the finishline zone (some of the UHF based chip timing systems have a 3/4m long zone, you don't know where in that zone your chip will be picked up), also it depends on which foot you have your chip on, and if that foot crosses the line 1st! This is going to throw your race time out by several tenths!

Talk about splitting hairs

Ha jezz, sorry, I didn't even look at the time properly and only coped now that you were just under 40! I only was only picking up on how accurate you had it to, in general yep, chip times to the millisec are pointless, in this case, take the sub40 defos, I certainly would myself

There's a senior 400m at the Navan Open next Sunday (and 3k to make the trip even more worthwhile).

Gah! Same day as the national half marathon.
Thanks for posting.

This time I remembered to hit the lap button as I passed halfway (so more like 804m :pac:) and my time was... 2.45.
Forgot to reset before going for my warmdown, so my Garmin mile recording is lost to posterity. Which might be handy if I ever run for office...

Race report here.
The 10k is the last tune-up race before next week's Dublin half-marathon, I've been more or less following the Pfitzinger half-marathon plan through the summer.

s wondering, do the tight bends/banking slow you down much?

Unlucky n-dawg. You'd have to imagine that the bends would be worth at least 3-4 seconds on an outdoor track.

Training this summer was the Pfitziger half marathon plan - more or less anyway, hit the long runs and the medium long midweek runs, races permitting, and the midweek faster session was whatever the Bros Pearse coach thought up, not the session in the book...

Race report from my blog -

Was running late this morning - a few minutes late leaving the house, a few minutes longer on the LUAS than expected, a few minutes slower walking up the park than I thought... so at twenty to ten I was just passing the polo grounds... Clothes off, jogged up to bag drop, and had only a couple of minutes to chat to clubmates before jumping into the pen. Quick hello to Krusty and Surewhynot, then ran up to the start of the pen - which was closer than I expected, so I ended up in the third row.
A couple of Mexican waves and we were off. I've never started this far forward in the race series before, and it's a whole different experience There were some people to pass alright, but no crush.
First couple of k were fast, steward called 5.55 to 6.00 at the first mile marker, but that was to be expected. A bit of a group was forming in front of me, but I spent more time watching my watch, 3.50 to 4.00 was fine, but every now and again it would be something over 4.00, especially on that stretch of the North road back towards Chesterfield, bit of wind there. Running into Farmleigh was nice, good to do a different part of the park, and as I passed the gates I realised I was running faster than I did in the Rathfarnham 5k last year, faster than I'd run in the K Club 10k in April... naturally I looked at my watch a minute later to see 4.16 pace - not the time to be resting on laurels
Another nice section outside the park, and as we came back in I opened a gel. Don't know if it did any good but I've never had stomach problems from them so no harm anyway. Another wave for Mr Slow and a shout for the 1.50 pacers, then we turned on to Chesterfield. Stepped off the road at the water station to have a proper cup of water then off again. From this point on in the race (or even from earlier) I was being passed by ones and twos of people. My pace wasn't dropping, or not by more than a second or two per k, but other people had obviously paced it better. A bit annoying and disheartening, but I was still watching the Garmin, wasn't going to get into a race this far out.
The last few miles were tough. Into the wind on Conyngham road, and then onto the hills. I was watching the average pace, still at about 3.56 when we left the park so I knew I could drop about a minute on the hills . I was really tired at this point, thighs getting stiff, so I could make it up the hills at a decent pace but couldn't accelerate on the downhills, the speed just wasn't coming back. 20k and 21k were 4.22 and 4.03, so slow enough, but it got me around...

Slightly embarrassed to be adding my 1/2 marathon time from yesterday, was aiming for 1.25 but sickness reduced that to just scraping under the 1.30 mark. Still it's another target ticked off. Probably not going to hit any more this year but will hope to improve both my 5k and 10k times.

Also updated my 5k time.
