It's becoming clearer as the months pass how much of a benefit the club scene is. Bit ambitious with your sub 38/39 though methinksGo on & sign up with the club! Consistent intervals & speed work will have you looking at sub 38/39 in 12 months.
I AM SUPERMAN... Or batman, or whateverMarty, ya ran 20 miles 2 days before the race!!! Ffs obvs you weren't gonna be on the top of your game! You're not superman! Put into context it's a super result!
I have costumes for all occasions
Cheers S+1 and you knocked out a good 20miler, chin up. Have you gone along to try a session with any clubs yet?, not to down about that result at all. It told me what I already knew about where I am .
Haven't been to any clubs yet. Plan is to do it this week. Athenry or Galway city harriers.... I'm swayed towards one, but timing issues may come into play.... Stay tunedanother + 1 to this, no race taper?! that's a great result given no taper & a 20 miler, well done MB
Thanks A, I'm not a believer in tapering for short races, maybe I should have ran the previous run as a true easy run or even recovery, idk.
But I'm sure I'd still be off the pace to some degree
All good now though, feel like i'm getting somewhere 0 -

I've just registered for your local Half Marathon, jayzis prices are much higher that side of the country and what's with all the hills????The early miles of the half marathon are a series of gentle uphill sections leading to the first major right hand turn and the most scenic part of the course. There’s a steep hill at around mile 11 but its a looped course so where there’s an up there’s a down!
where are the down bits!!??? 0 -

Highjack ...... you're coming to Kinvara? yeaeeeeeeeeeee. It's a brilliant run, I couldn't recommend it enough. Sconhome gave me a sage piece of advice before this last year- keep it steady until after the hill at mile 11 then give it socks and empty the tank and he was so right.
I'm thinking of doing the half- a boardsie reunion West of the Shannon 0 -

Whoohoooo
Will you not get a nose bleed when you cross the Shannon though with the culture shock
It really isn't that hilly at all, there's the on at 11 miles alright, but you'll be over it before you know it 0 -

Still plugging away... Brought Sundays long run back to 15 miles
in anticipation of donadea next weekend. Looking forward to it now..
Small bit of a bug at the moment, nothing major just a dickie tummy, so I'm minding myself this week.
Read the Rotterdam thread the last night and got into a bit of a panic myself as I hadn't booked flights or accommodation.
So, as I was well fuelled with beer, I went and booked everything in a half arsed kinda way
Staying in the Art hotel about 3 miles down the road.... Because I'm like... Arty...... 0 -

Well done today!!! Great to finally meet you :pac: roll on (see what I did there?...) Kinvara
It'll be over before we know itFup sake Marty, 4.09 for 50k on a training run for Rotterdam, crazy man you are but nothing but admiration for you for doing it, fair play to you.
Cheers B, thanks for the support again. I think that run will help me as much as hinder me. Even though I was fairly tired towards the end, I'm feeling positive about how it went and how I feel now.
Kinvara in a little over 2 weeks will be a right revelation in either direction, but I've noticed my love of running coming back after leaving me for a bit:eek: :eek: hats off to you, that's fair going. Um, did you race it or was that just a training run?
Thanks Neady, you all set for Kinvara yourself??
Loose plan was go in gently for about 10 miles, throw in about 10 faster miles, and then an easyish 10.
I was open to change it a little but not a whole lot. Main aim was to complete it and get those faster miles in the mid section.
The last few "easy" miles were tough going though but was glad to get it done and dusted 0
