Plan today called for 6/4 easy miles an/pm.
Was caught up in work so didn't get out for the first run till after work.
Got 6 easy miles in lovely sunshine on a hilly route @ 8.07
Just back in from a 3.8 mile loop around the house, first time in months that I've run with the head torch and high vis jacket. Didn't bother with the watch but it was nice and easy.
I'm starting so get so cranky I'm starting to make Q look like Mother feckin Theresa
A lad sneezed at a meeting I was at today, I made a excuse to leave, went out to the car to get my hand sanitiser as I'd shook the bastards hand at the start of the meeting!

Good stuff lad - nearly there now, just keep it between the ditches for the week. You know the progress you've made this cycle. Remember you're only 10 months in to a 2 year plan and you're there or there abouts at you're initial time target already.ThebitterLemon wrote: »Plan today called for 6/4 easy miles an/pm.

Tnx J,
My head is melting with phantom ailments, after been sneezed all over today I thought I had phantom Ebola!
In London Monday & Tuesday, Dublin Wednesday and home for the rest of the week. I'll probably wear a plastic bag over my head when I'm on the plane (I'll look like a fat Rubber Bandit)
You're flying yourself.

Take the anxiety as a good sign - it's part of the mental preparation required, imo.
At least the travel is in the early part of the week & shouldn't impact the prep too much.0 -

2 mins on (alternating between HM and MP) off 2 mins easy.
Did a half mile warm up and started the session. Was all over the place, pace wise, first way too slow and the others a bit too fast. I'll need to be much more disciplined next weekend.
Total miles 4.5

Just to be pedantic and annoy ecoli
this "2 mins on (alternating between HM and MP) off 2 mins easy" is not technically fartlek
however this "Was all over the place, pace wise, first way too slow and the others a bit too fast"
is closer to fartlek except rep time wouldn't be predefined.
I like to demonstrate, at every moment, the very little I know about athletics 0 -

Hey TRR,
In fairness to Ecoli that was my interpretation/recollection of what he explained to me in PP after the mile reps, and at my age my recall faculty is poor at best So I probably fecked it up.

So, have you been fecking up all those MP runs too?
Running them at sub 3 hour pace?

Haha P,
Not at all, see KU's advise/post on Dublin Runners log about running those sessions slightly faster than PMP
Might see you next week for a few miles.
How about this:
If I run sub 3 next weekend I'll put a guaranteed €500 behind the bar after DCM for drinks for Boardsies!
That should tell you all you need to know as I'm a tight fecker

Plan today called for 13 miles easy.
Planned to do this in Galway as I had to drop the daughter in.
Forgot the Garmin and decided to just do a RC special 105 mins by feel.
I obviously need practice coz I felt ****e
Cracking day for a run but around Westside there was pretty thick fog and it got quite cold. Running along the Prom was a pain in the hole, it was packed with kids, kids on bikes, kids on skates, kids with dogs, kids on scooters, auld wans, auld wans on bikes, auld wans on skates...you get the picture!
Hopefully this time next week I'll be eating my way through Willie Wonka's chocolate factory
My missus has a head cold, told her I was sleeping in the spare room and if she comes within 3 feet of me I'll be getting a restraining order!
6 more days of madness!!

You should have seen the look on the face of the lad I was meeting today when I put out my baboon hole hand to shake his. Priceless
Luckily it's returned to normal SfM!

I've decided to come on board TBL and help with your taper madness now ecoli has deserted you and all the other people he coaches on boards
As Murph says above, PMP during taper always feels hard. It's a mental thing. Adrenaline, nerves and the two white lines of a race will sort that out for you the weekend! But sure you already know this!0 -

Tnx TRR the faecal fecker, can I now add you as an executive advisor to my backroom staff
Hopefully the Salmon Eile will rejoin, he gave me huge confidence in myself and irrespective of Sundays result I'll be planning to go quicker with his guidance!
