Month: April 2007

Having utilised the measurement tool from map24.com, it turns out that my earlier distances were a little… emmm… optimistic. What I thought was 3K was in fact 2.7K, not a huge difference so I’m not beating myself up about it. Tonight was a long run… 4.24 miles or almost 8K. I was REALLY tired after…

OK, plans have temporally changed… unfortunately this weekend was so sunny & warm & nice that I just couldn’t muster up the energy or desire to run around the Curragh for 8K! So, as I cracked open another beer, I decided to postpone my Sunday long run to Monday; to many that may sound like…

Having a well deserted pint.

Just ran 6K in the same time (33 minutes) as last night but with much less pain… now that is progress. Day off tomorrow, cross training on Saturday (probably an hour cycle) and then a massive 8K run on Sunday to complete my first week of training!!

OK, I’ve got it all worked out! 11 weeks of training ahead, culminating with the Achill 1/2 marathon in July… I’m aiming for a time of no more than 2 hrs. Tonight I ran an impressive 6K in 33 minutes! Well I’m impressed. Same again tomorrow night.

Started my Achill 1/2 marathon training plan tonight! I had planned to run 6K but my legs had other ideas, after 3K they decided they’d had enough and as I’m an accomodating kind of guy I let them take the rest of the evening off.

Finished in a little over 1.08… DAMN & BLAST IT!! I wanted to break the hour but it wasn’t to be… ’till next time!!
