I did the easy run on Tuesday night.. 40 mins at a touch under 6min pace, then went for the 4 x 8min intervals at 5:15/km tonight

Found the intervals fine, def holding it back at times but it’s a good pace for me. Could have done another one alright

I’ll try the 17.5km again on Sat

Best of luck in Dublin Smurf. Looking forward to the report and the selfie you’ll get with Colin Farrell

My knee still hasn’t recovered and had an MRI done last Saturday so waiting to go back to the Physio. TBH it feels grand but I don’t want to risk it until they review it.

Back on the rowing machine which is helping with the madness. When I finished earlier I was wondering what was wrong when I realised it was just that I hadn’t injured myself in some way.

Dublin's rocky road to marathon success

The Dublin marathon has had a rocky road since its inception in 1980. Declan Whooley looks back on some perilous moments for race organisers.

Conor Faughnan clocked a time of four hours 20 minutes competing as a 12-year-old in 1981.

I got the 17,5km done yesterday at 5.30/km pace. The run felt fine, and then a similar thing to last week happened again where I felt unwell for a good bit of the evening

Talking to a guy I know who’d have run at a decent level and he reckons it’s because I’m not eating anything when I get back, was prob 2 hours again before I did

I’ll try getting food into me quickly next weekend and hopefully that’s it, I had none of this last year but I take take a gel on those runs to test it out, haven’t bothered with that this year

Work is really busy at the moment as well so maybe my body is just a bit low/tired

100% on the food. You really need to fuel quickly after a tough workout. Especially as we get older. If you're looking for something quick the AllReal protein bars aren't bad for a quick bite, but you'll need more than that. If you have a nutri bullet you can lash loads in and get something quickly. Banana, milk, berries, seeds, peanut butter etc. If you can time a dinner after it then good also.
