Training Run Times

Dublin have gone GFA

Those times look handy enough (approx 10 mins softer than Boston?) - especially as the age goes up - in fairness, sub-3 is a tough ask at any age.
Interesting that they equate a 3:40 for women with a sub-3 for men - presumably this is based on lower than normal female performance at Dublin rather than global averages.Seriously big jumps as the ages hit the higher half of the range too.

Incidentally, Dubln is a fantastic event - a great experience with brilliant support along the route. If anyone is humming and hawing, I'd say go for it - enter.

As smurf famously once said "I'm never not entering Dublin again"

G'way outta that Jimmy, there's one hill! Brilliant downhill last mile too.
Good luck with it, enjoy the buzz.

I was stewarding at the Stryker 4-mile last night - huge crowd out for it

She’s having a brilliant season. Won it well tonight too by the looks of the times - out on her own. Brilliant

I got boxed in, couldn't reel her in,

That’s her cross-country experience Jimmy - you don’t get to be top 10 in the Euros without the ability to stick out the elbows

How did you go?
