Jan 31st

6 miles , 1 mile w/u 5 mile Race race chip time 37 mins

Raheny 5 Race, was looking forward to this race, but last couple weeks before with, week off running, hard drinking session
last week end and Chesty Cough, cold during week, probably in hindsight not best prep. Was half thinking off pulling out during
week, but missed last year and though if wake up Sunday feeling any way normal would go ahead and run.

So missed last year with injury, and didn't feel as bad as earlier in week decided to go for it, but even easy warm up and having
bit of chat felt harder than should have been before race, but set watch for 7.10 pace and said see how I would go.

got over line at about 1 min on clock very congested start and never really got going, tried to get on pace on mile 1
but was really struggling to hold effort, don't remember any real ups or downs, found myself struggling whole race, never got
really comfortable, caught up with MRSG at end mile 2, looked to be struggling went off to fast, but found out she had bad fall
prior to Race and was in good bit of pain and still managed PB, with little complaining afterwards, looking at splits after race
not worst in world, and on reflection felt every mile from start to finish and managed to gind out so hopefully will help in
future when going gets tough.

As usual support was great, and Race was really well run, apart from that start line which due to race popularity is always going
to be problem, well done to all Raheny crew who pulled off great day as usual. Great to meet up with all Boardies after, great job
on flapjacks Denis. well done on all who got Pb's or close enough.

splits
7.23
7.22
7.08
7.33
7.22 (managed 50m sprint to finish)

Again, man flu isn't a thing.

Thought you looked unusually strained well after the race G. Look after yourself. As for Mrs KG..... pass on our congrats. The healing will be in the pb. Would never have guessed anything was amiss when talking to ye afterwards.

diego_b · 01-02-2016 05:17PM

Well done to you and your good wife on both managing fine runs yesterday, fair mitigating circumstances in fairness but still job done!

Mrs Mc · 01-02-2016 07:59PM

I hope you actually woke up to check on her?? Or did she have to do it herself?

Poor Gill, she did a great time and in pain too! Fair play to her, maybe adrenaline from the fall helped.

Feb 2nd

5.84 miles 55 mins recovery 9.28 avg

early start about 6.20, weather lot better today, little cold , small bit of breeze, first 3 miles
coughing and spluttering so was on way home and indented cutting short, started to feel better
so took detour and had good end to Run. Doctor booked for morning as have been taking lot of
Ventolin over last week or so, and have not really had to take for months, Lungs really feeling
Runs at moment. Had intended doing recovery run yesterday but didn't feel like battling wind
so took rest day instead.

Going to see new Physio Liam Hennesy , who was recommended by club to see can get hamstring
to fully settle down. Will keep rest of week easy, before starting Meno Plan 17 weeks for Cork.

aquinn · 02-02-2016 02:53PM

Feb 3rd

6 miles 56 mins 9.17 avg

nice out this morning, had good run after first mile or so, concentrating on keeping pace easy. was able to start little latter as had Apt. with Doctor this morning so no rush to work. extra half hour in bed appreciated this morning
after youngest had nightmares and came visiting at 1.30 this morning.

have upper respiratory tract infection, doctor says has had lot of bodies in lately with same complaint, takes two weeks or
there about to go, on 5 days of steroids and should be as good as new by next week, so ok to Run as long as easy, that is plan for week so all good. Have peak flow of normal couch warrior and not honed athlete that I am:p, so at least this running lark is having positive effect on Lungs.:)

feeling better about getting going next week now, I know training will be hard
but didn't want it to turn into slog fest, and not Enjoyable, otherwise what is point. In better head space this morning and think that has more of positive
effect than you realise.

have just posted something similar on TGFR's log, it really is important isn't it? not always easy to control though. Mind yourself this week, hope you're back on par very soon.

Just reading something on it last night, which reminded me, 50% Mental,50% Physical, if your not in good head space, Brain can work against you, amazing when you send it right signals how it can work with you.:)

5th Feb

8.89 miles 89 mins. 9.0 avg

Nice early start, lovely morning, nice and calm for most part, still
Plenty of coughing & spluttering, but effort felt easy. Longest run in
Couple of weeks and felt pretty good considering still not on full par.

Was meant to run yesterday, alarm set as usual don't know why but
Didn't wake me up, got extra hour instead and felt all better, obviously
Needed rest more than the run.

Went to physio, full mot and surprised to find weaker on right, due to
Weakness on right side of back, left much stronger, as evidenced by
Some resistance excerises he preformed. Have been cursing my weak
Left side and turns out it is shouldering more of work, due to lazy right
Side. Knot like a speed bump in left hammy well worked, so hopefully will
Improve, exactly where I had been feeling it. Worked on left IT band
Which had not noticed how tight had become, but generally in good
Knick, he was surprised how much stretch in calf, so HM stretches doing
Good and he highly recommend keeping up, need small improvement
In technique, was not relaxing enough between sets.

So some things to work on, physio reckons if work on back, all else including
Achilies should start to see benefit over time.

Get the last person into the taxi at the airport to at least point you in the right direction towards home before you run off into the sunset
