Training Run Times

Good luck to TimeO tomorrow. I'm up the road on a foodie boozy weekend. I'll be thinking of you.

Looking good.

Unfortunately not to be for TimeO in Rotterdam. He had very low mileage done and had picked up a few injuries. Would have been impressive to complete the distance in those circumstances. That fella and meself are twins in this 42.2k malarkey. On we go, lads. On we go.

Unreal numbers Jimmy - well done to ye. Given the narrow road, hassle at the first corner and heading up the hill, ye should probably be either going for very clear time segregation in the start pen or letting the runners off in waves. Otherwise it could be bedlam in the pen with slower runners clogging the traffic and faster lads trying to get through. Ye have guide times on signs at the side of the pen to segregate runners I know but the fun runners have no idea what those signs are.Then you'd lose a lot of runners for next year!

Yep,it will be bedlam ,it doesn't widen out until 1.2mile mark when you turn left out of the boreen, I'd agree,waves would be the answer

Jimmy, are ye defo taking walk up entries?

I haven't suddenly decided to run but my eldest lad is home for Easter and keen to give it a go. LOL, youth is a great thing - he was out at MTU meeting a buddy yesterday and decided on the spur of the moment to "fall in" with the 'Barrs who were starting a track session. 5 X 1k pieces at sub-3:25 average FFS.
Now he wants to do Ballintotis tonight after hearing the lads talking about it.
