Week
starting 9th February
After
running Dungarvan last Sunday week I deliberately didn’t set foot on the
pavement until the Thursday. This week was a designated cutback week but rather
than lose out on the weekend run I decided to cutback on the normal Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday runs. I ran a nice comfy 10 miles on the Thursday. The pace
was 8.11 but I felt like I could have
kept running for 20 miles. Friday was the evening of my wife’s birthday dinner
so no running there and I ran a snappy 6.2 miler at 7.47 pace on the Saturday.
On
Sunday I met up with the Mallow lads for the early morning run. I ran 2.5 miles
with Colm before meeting up with a large group at 8.20 am and a even larger
group at 9 am. It was a tough run with a serious climb at Dromahane and later
on a back road home. In all I covered 21 miles at 8.40 pace with a few water
breaks thrown in. Monday morning I ran 13 miles in Charleville at 8.36 pace
before heading to work so that meant a really early start. The legs were tired
all evening but in a good way.
A
back to back long run of 21:13 and 9 weeks to go. Things are getting serious.
Mileage
for the training week :50.2 miles. Thursday 10 mls, Saturday 6.2 miles, Sunday 21 miles, Monday 13 miles
