4 weeks since the Donadea 50km.....I had pondered the crazy notion (for me) of running another marathon at some stage before the Dublin marathon in October. I have since ditched that idea as it's probably better I try to re-learn how to run faster and more consistently. I will have to start working on the latter part first before I even try to undertake the former.
Last week was ok, this week less so. 27 miles last week with 4 runs in the week. The longest run was a pacy 9 miler at 7.50 pace. I was happy with that. This week was 2 X 7 milers in Cork on the Wednesday and Thursday. I had to skip the Kinvara 13.1 on Saturday as a series of late nights on weekdays and a particularly late night on Friday night/ Saturday night (Pub table quiz) had me nackered over the weekend. As a result I was lying on the couch over the weekend feeling pretty gammy and tired. (By the way it was tiredness not that fecking COVID 19 b/s). Any way no run over the weekend.
I see that a number of Continental marathons are being postponed or deffered so it's best to wait before I commit to any larger local races yet.
I know I have failed to make 4 marathons in the last two years so the target in Dublin will be modest. Get the training done and get to the start line. Then again it may not go ahead anyway.
