Munster final loss

Monday 15th July

Just writing this a few hours after a 3 mile recovery jog at9.20 pace. Before I even started I knew this would be a poor effort as the Hr was up to 90 beats before I even went running. Anyway it averaged out as 150, about 20 beats higher than normal. Easy explanation - 12 mile long run the day before instead of a planned 10 followed by very long and fruitless day watching the Cork hurlers implode against Limerick in the Munster final followed by a 3 hour car journey home. It normally takes 30 minutes. Having to deal with some clown who decided to block any chance of me getting out of the car park despite me having right of way wasnt great either. P. Reidy of the blue contractor van, you sir are a pillock.

To be fair though the previous week had gone well. Solid stuff all the way. Recovery run on the 15th July at 136 hr, 5 miles with 3 mile tempo @ 7.36 pace on the 16th July, 5 miles @ 144 hr on Wednesday, 4 mile club session with sprints on Thursday with the long run with the club on Sunday. Massive room for improvement on all those workouts but at the moment it's the best I can manage.



Mileage for week ending 14th July, 29 miles
