no time for updates...
Tempo Tuesday I was late getting out to the group - foisting off my kids on other coaches so I could run
Missed the start of the first tempo, so it was just under 5k, 3.51 pace. Second run I was feeling the effects of the weekend, and set off way too fast at first so I was fading badly, but another guy caught up and we pushed ourselves on, 3.53 for the second tempo was better than it should have been.
Wednesday I was out for a work dinner so couldn't do my medium run, just two laps of UCD. The dragon that attacked AMK had migrated south, took a lump out of my leg on the second lap, but I managed to limp to safety...
Thursday a very easy jog in to work, and some running with the kids in the evening
Friday, my last Friday off of the summer
Tymoned a while as usual
Was feeling quite tired yesterday, and was out for a few drinks last night, so this morning I just rolled over and got some more sleep :eek:
Will pay for it tomorrow when I have to do XC training with the kids soon after a long run....0 -

bloody hell, haven't updated in ages...
Monday just a 50 minutes run home from work
Tuesday, recovery run in the morning, tempo in the evening, 3.49 and 3.54, but I felt knackered
Wednesday, lap of UCD and home, 16k total
Thursday, 50 minutes in to work again, then a few k running with the kids in the evening
Friday, up at 6am for 10k around Tymon
and today, Tymon again, this time for an MP run. 4 laps of Tymon - 16k - at 4.06 average pace. That's 2/3 seconds faster than I expect to be able to hold next month, but close enough. Plan is long run next week, then Dublin half, another long run,and then a longer PMP run in early October (since Captain Meany won't let me run the Novices:() before tapering down.
Supposed to spend the day sitting on the couch, with just a quick trip to Dundrum so the kid could get Di Maria on his top. Elverys machine was broken. No problem, Lifestyle have a machine too. And yes, it works! But they have no As left. But Elverys can sell us a letter so up we go again! But guess what - no As left there either. So then we gave up and got ice-cream0 -

grrrr, very irritating week
Monday was a scheduled day off, platelet donation. Platelet levels well down on usual, BP up to 130/70 instead of normal 120/60. Hmmmm
Tuesday - stomach bug, felt like complete ****
Wednesday - still wiped out
Yesterday - running home, within a couple of steps my right thigh was sore (and again when training the kids that evening)
This morning - jog into work, still sore:mad:
Don't think its an injury as such - I haven't had a chance to get injured - more a reaction to the couple of days without food/being run down. Pain in the arse though because I had planned to go for a long run tomorrow and that's not going to happen now, and Sunday I have the kids XC in the morning so if I can fit in a long run it will be afternoon/evening.0 -
no run yesterday, gave it a rest
kids XC this morning, bus over to Balbriggan and back, so it was 3 o'clock :eek: before I got out for my run. And it isn't even the last Sunday in January!
Got intoa rhythm sooner than I expected, and the kms ticked by - same as last time, up to the park, through the hilly southern section, onto the trails by farmleigh, around the zoo, back up chesterfield, back through the hills and home. Weird running through the park at that time. There was a gang of families having barbecues by the knockmaroon gate, and loads of people around farmleigh and chesterfield. Watch battery crapped out on the way through the memorial gardens, but total run was close to 2.5 hours. The last few miles were tough, and I'm wrecked now, but that makes me more glad I got it done - I don't have enough long runs under my belt and I really felt that today. It was weird actually, after about 1.40 or 1.50 I was really feeling the distance, before realising wtf, sure I've only run a half marathon, that's not even long
:o Anyway, ticked off now, no persistent pain in my thigh, just the usual "oh, now my thigh is sore.... mow its my knees.... now my achilles.... now my feet... now I'm just ****ing tired..." :pac: 0 -

tempo Tuesday, step up yesterday to 25+20 minutes, didn't bother me because I was only doing one 3.51 pace for the 25 minutes. If I can manage that on Saturday I'll be laughing, sure its only an extra hour :pac:
80 minutes round UCD and home again today
Thigh/groin still a bit sore on and off. Don't think its slowing me down, but I could be wrong, and it could be a different story after an hour at race pace. Couple of very easy days now, will see how it goes.0 -

When I was about 20m back, I thought "that looks like AMK"
but then I got closer and thought, "no, isn't him"
and I couldn't turn to look as I passed because I was concentrating on keeping my feet in the long grass. Sorry!0 -

surprised tBL hasn't been in to update my log for me, he knows my training so well
no run Sunday - was up at Tymon at 8 setting up for the XC,didn't finish taking it down until 2,and had another club thing that evening. Seriously knackered that day
Monday was an easy run home from work
Tuesday, slow jog back in to work in the morning. The usual club gang wasn't around in the evening for a tempo, so I went over to Tymon for 8k at marathon pace
Today, usual loop around UCD and home, but went around the outside this time, on the marathon course from the bridge over the Dodder to UCD flyover. There's no fecking hill there at all! *

Maybe in future I'll send you my Garmin link and let you write the report :pac:
Just a short one into work this morning, alarm didn't go off so was pushed for time
Calves a bit tight starting off, but no time for foam rolling
That niggle in my groin/thigh/hip is still there, no worse, no better. Ice cube massage on the area the last couple of nights :eek:0 -
