I may end up doing a 1m TT if the current restrictions aren't lifted by then... but i'll leave my name in the pot for now :cool:

diego_b · 01-04-2020 12:10pm

Hi, please add me in there M35-39.
Will try for a sub 22...never done that outside of a race/parkrun before so trying to do it on my own should be fun.

Speedy44 · 01-04-2020 12:55pm

Sure I'll join in for the laugh, as long as my dodgy hamstrings hold up over the next few weeks ...50-54 age cat

Just run fookin 5k to quote a much better race organiser from these parts than myself, be it looped, out and back or point to point, run 5k and by 5k i mean 3.10 miles or more!!. I don't want to hear oh i ran a course that has a lot of trees, or my Garmin was acting up on the day. Run 3.10 miles or more or your result ain't counting. I won't bend anymore rules, ye know whats expected so go train.

Murph_D · 02-04-2020 3:38pm

Very impressive start list so far, sterling work Barry!

I think Luke tried to moderate a 2.50 or sub 3 thread here when he was 15 or something.

My Junior Cert project. I remember it as though it was yesterday:P

IvoryTower · 02-04-2020 6:00pm

Looking forward to giving a virtual beat down to all you fun running marathon waddlers, my 400m time converts to 14.47 apparently, what's the prize

A pair of my well used racing underpants, to keep himself protected!! Size extra small.

Did you convert or multiply?

IvoryTower · 02-04-2020 8:48pm

Dont hate me hate the calculator!

Wubble Wubble · 02-04-2020 9:41pm

Stick me down for 21:30. I don't want to fubar the table.

Swashbuckler · 02-04-2020 9:48pm

Oh Jesus we're making predictions. I'll need to have a think.

Wouldn't worry too much Damo. Loads of sandbaggers in these parts. Just pick a time you think you can run and add 30s.

Up to yerselves lads but predictions are unnecessary?????

IvoryTower · 02-04-2020 10:43pm

Aye the less hassle the better, I'm surprised it's even age graded

coogy · 02-04-2020 11:15pm

I'll have a go......45-49 category

average_runner · 03-04-2020 11:47am

I have decided to stop my normal training and instead I am doing a big aerobic phase till this ends and I have a target.

Following Lydiard I am doing this:

1 hour Steady 3/4 effort (10 secs slower than mp pace)
45 mins easy
1 hour steady 3/4 effort (10 secs slower than mp pace)
45 mins easy
90 mins 1/2 effort (20 - 30 secs slower than mp pace)

Will still do the 5k but it will be my local park now

Murph_D · 03-04-2020 11:48am

But you do have a target - 5k on the 25th.

coogy · 03-04-2020 12:30pm

Who, me?

Ermm, let's see......put me down for 19:30

The sandbags being used around these parts will in time form a formidable defence against winter flooding...

The lads stacking them high for strength training with the gyms closed. :P

Bwahah! Like the way I set you up there??

Seriously though, there's a fine line between sandbaggjng and blowing your own trumpet.
I'm more at ease in the 'sandbagger' camp..........for now.

Treviso · 03-04-2020 5:19pm

Have been trying to come up with every possible excuse not to take part in this TT, but I must admit defeat.

Put my name in, M40-45, should be easy to match my board name to my Strava profile

I won't put a prediction time in case I get scolded by the master sandbagger himself

Laineyfrecks · 03-04-2020 5:27pm

Sorry to disturb you ladies but B could you put me down for 20:30 please & thanks, not sure how to use the table:D

Haha B - well if anyone could stick it up for me i would be very grateful :pac:

Sussex18 · 03-04-2020 6:14pm

In normal circumstances I'd be confident of breaking 22 minutes but not sure how well I can replicate it on the road by myself, without people cheering me on and ealing with traffic etc &#55357;&#56898;

Oh by the way I'm actually F40-44&#55357;&#56898;

Step 1 quote a table from elsewhere
Step 2 remove quotes
Step 3 blame the original poster for it not working

Rinse and repeat

My bib came in the post today! I hear its nearly sold out sign up quick or you'll miss out...

Yes, social isolation is getting to me! " No one walking into my office at work either.

racersedge · 03-04-2020 8:10pm

Feck it, might as well give this a go for the siths and giggles. At the very least it will give meaning to these runs I'm doing since everything else is cancelled/postponed/furlonged. Age-wise I'll be in the 30-34 range, at the far edge of it at 34! Prediction wise... well at least once I don't make a fool of myself! :P Just joining the strava group now as well.

That's what step 3 is for, someone else's problem and will usually fix for you
