Group Training Sessions - Where & When

statss wrote: »

looking to do around 15 miles myself Saturday afternoon, where you thinking of heading? 8 minute miles seems a bit hot for a 20 miler no?!

what are you ? My mother ?

. The thoughts of doing it doesn't fill me with warm feelings, but I promised myself that I would go for a sub-4 in donadea and I need to get the times down, which I am finding hard to do since DCM. I need to get a few fastish long runs in. I will probably do like I did last weekend, start off around 8.20 pace and finish up with 7.30 pace.

I was thinking of heading out through Rathmines, past your gaff and out towards Sandyford direction and back down through Blackrock. You could probably make 15 out of that ?

I jest, since I've started training by HR my long runs have been around 9.15ish, but I'd say around 8.00 will hit my "steady state" HR so I'll call it a longish steady run instead.

sounds like a plan so, I'll loop home somewhere along the way, what time will you hit Rathmines, anytime between 2-3pm is grand, I'll pick up with you at the bottom of the Rathgar Road where the Esso garage is?

20 odd miles around donadea on sat morning at 8am at just under 9m miles, ,a few faster doin it aswell if it suits anyone

I'm doing 18-20miles on Fri afternoon (tomorrow) around 2pm, probably in the PP.
Maybe no good to you but if anybody else fancies it let me know.
