Training Run Times

I gave the hip a good going over this weekend and seem to have come out the right side of it so I’m cautiously optimistic

8km run yesterday - no discomfort. 40km on the bike today with 400m climbing in one section, really pushing it. And a 1000m swim this afternoon. No sense of anything wrong in there

It might well make a comeback if I stretch the running. Distances but hopefully if I manage any increases slowly this might not materialise. I was having trouble at 3-4km every time
 
A couple of half decent 10 mile efforts from members of this parish at the weekend. Smurfy sneaking under the 4min/km barrier and TimeO a whisker outside it. Can either reach their pb heights again or is Father Time messing with us?
 
Well Spotted C :) A great event as usual in Dungarvan. I have done a few 'speed' sessions this side of Christmas but nothing longer that 30mins in duration which as we know wont be enough to get you through a miler. I just back off the paces i had run for 30 mins by 20 secs per mile and to be honest felt quite good out there. I was going well at 8.5mls when i came across a clubmate who was racing and starting to struggle, i sat in with her and hopefully it helped, we crossed the line together. Very enjoyable, i hope i continue to apply myself more regularly as my achilies is a bit improved. Though it is possible i revert to being a lazy bastard again. 25 miles a week has been my thing for far too long. The winning times in Dungarvan were remarkable. 47.42 on a solo run for Ferghal Curtin and 52.51 from Niamh Allen!
 
Cork half sold out,
Did it go as quickly as the Dublin one? 2 hours!

Whilst its a pain not to get an entry, it is brilliant to see the interest in these things. I get a sense that Covid was the boon that got a lot of people out running, and with that comes those same guys now chancing a half when they would never have previously because it was for 'runners'. I'd put myself in that category

I had another 8.5km clipping along last night with absolutely no discomfort in the hip at all.. things looking up :)
