    Yes and knowing Magnet i'd like to know what the + is ... might be another 20 miles after the 5 :)

    To warm up, then another 20 or so...plus a cool down, of course.

    The only thing about putting it in the Biki is it won't get much passing trade. An updated set of tables like the 09 thread would work well, IMO

    Yep the passing trade will be more limited, but the biki is useful for the static things and just plain reference type stuff that would otherwise just fall off the bottom of the forum pages here.

    Things that are often updated, and are chatted about, should be in forum threads.
    Things that hardly ever change and are just used for reference should be in the biki.

    I agree, I think. The Biki might be the best option for reference stuff : a list of links to (platinum) threads that should be remembered well past when they fall off the bottom of the first page, a FAQ, a beginner guide to running or maybe a triathlon equipment recommendation list. A thread here seems to work well for regularly changing info - this weekend's races or sessions, the 1000 mile thread, etc.

    Anyone fancies doing a session of 10 x 400m in Belfield this evening let me know. I could just as easily go to Santry but the last time I went there on a Friday it was closed for a football match so don't really want to chance it when I know Belfield is open.

    It's my first track session of the year so I'll be taking it fairly handy. Not timing the reps or anything. Recovery time will be when I feel recovered to go again.

    Just thinking it might be a good idea to put predicted pace of the run in the tables? Some less experienced runners might be put off running in groups thinking they'd be too slow when in reality they'd be well able to keep up.

    Agreed, I've added pace to the Kildare table. I've left the Dublin/Galway tables for others to amend.

    great idea this gives people a better insight


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,415 ✭✭✭Racing Flat


    Any takers for a session in Cork on Friday, preferrably mid morning, but may be flexible? Planning 6 x 1mile in 5.40 with 90secs jog recovery.

    Also, where would be a good place to do this. Do the public have access to the track at the Mardyke or CIT? I'd probably rather a longer stretch/lap anyhow, was thinking about maybe the pitches behind the gym/pool place that's next to CIT (behind the astro pitches) - is that still there, any good?
