• Long Run - 20 Miles

  Posted on Saturday October 6th, 2007 at 11:26 in Marathon, dublin, injury, long run

  I haven't been able to run all week until today. My right lower leg is suffering some sort of injury, but I'm just not sure what it is. Could it be a shin splint type injury? I never had one before so I'm not sure. It feels like my leg just wants to...

  Todays run is the longest run of the schedule and I had to plan to do it early in the day as I'm off to see The Police in concert this evening. This is not ideal for me as I'd usually prefer to run later in the day once I'm fuelled up. I seem to "ope...

  Holy cow............That was bloody awful. I'm not happy with this performance at all I'm afraid. I'm in danger of losing faith in my schedule but in terms of a mental rehearsal for the marathon this run was definitely the one. I just felt pretty awf...

• Long Run - 21 Miles

  Long and hot this afternoon. I had to "skive" off work to start my run early enough to get three hours of running in this evening to complete my 21 miles. It was very warm out and I took my Camelbak and five High 5 carbohydrate gels. The run was prog...

  A nice easy run this evening. With an average HR of 139bpm and an average pace of 8.31 min/mile, once again its an improvement on recent similar runs where for the same average HR I've been running at about 8.50 min/mile, so good news especially as i...

  Well there is only one way to describe this run, totally disappointing and not a very happy experience.I was struggling from the first few miles, and continued to suffer until the bitter end with this run. My HR was constantly over the 150bpm limit a...

  It was very warm and windy out today so I wasn't sure what to expect from my long run. I've mentioned several times how tired I've been all week, its a kind of general lethargy that seems to have taken over, I assume due to the training volume I'm do...

• 13 Mile "Medium" Long Run

  Posted on Saturday April 21st, 2007 at 13:25 in heat, long run, shakespeare marathon

  Today's run was with the aim of running at 7.50 min/mile pace and just to see where the HR settled. I'm trying to gauge what sort of effort I need to make for the Marathon next weekend and my feeling is that this sort of pace should be ok for me. It...
