Try it at about 6:00, then do your best to increase by <10 secs per split.
I found it tough, in an enjoyable way.
Hardest part was calculating what time I needed to hit the next split at, the further I got into it.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

did a 10 mile run on Saturday, was much harder than the last one I did as I knew I was doing 10miles this time, whereas before I was doing 5km loops and going again so I was afraid to go too quickly lest I be stranded! The piers in Dun Laoghaire were so nice...

I did 10 miles myself yesterday trying to keep myself in zone 2 but drifted into zone 3 a good bit - legs were very tired at the end but lungs felt good. My recovery between sessions is getting less and less as I now only have 2 weeks of base building left. Ive lost a good bit of weight but im still very over weight so I feel all this running will become easier if I drop another bit

If anyone is up for a bit of a different challenge one of our group came up with a Duathlon distance that seems to even itself out depending on whether you are stronger on the bike or on a run. Its;
3km run
24km cycle
3km run
we have a pretty mixed group of runners and cyclists all coming in around the same time. For reference mine was 1:27:36 with spits of:
16:06
54:10
17:20
Died a death on the second run but its all just a bit of craic. The above includes transitions prob why the second run is a good bit slower

That's some magic feet, FeetMagic. Wp.
It's a while since I've raced myself but i've found my running elevated to some degree during the pandemic. So much more aware of my surroundings.
Just passed 500km for the year, a week ahead of target, mostly in Tymon Park.
Gl smashing your 5km & 10km's

So, I haven't posted here in a while. Running was non existant in May running about 50km I think and sessioning a bit too much. Decided to challenge a poker bud of mine on the 30th May. He'd be a keen runner but more into MMA who usually does about 150/200km a month running.
Simple bet - Who can do the most miles in June? Nominal €50 bet and loser puts other guy as profiler on FB for July. I'd be pretty competitive and stubborn with good recovery I think so I felt I had a good chance hoping I'd get my fitness back straight away.
All tracked live on Adidas running app which is pretty cool. Started off decent really with 60km first week each. Basically trading 10ks. I picked it up on week 2 with 87km including my first run over 10k since March. Went from 10km to 25km in one move that kicked him off and we've been hammering each other since. Regularly throwing in 20km runs and it's getting pretty brutal.
So far after 25 days he has 349km to my 347km with 5 days to go in the past 4 days I've done 100km+. Basically a HM every morning and 2 evening 10kms.
Truly the worst decision challenging this guyOur times have gone out the window. No real time limit but just to have your runs better than 6 min km

I was wondering who that lunatic was on the Stravva group. I’m over here sitting on 0km

Kick in the stones today at the Nurney 5k.
Aiming for sub 20. First k beeped in at 3:58 but the split on the watch beeped about 10m past the 1k marker. There was a lot of tree cover so figured it was throwing the GPS out. Each km was the same but I slowed a fair bit, 2, 3 and 4 were 4:08, 4:06, 4:08.
Couldn't seem to get the pace below 4:00.
Picked it up a good bit for the last km but figured I'd too much to make up.
Couldn't believe my eyes when I rounded the corner with 100m to go and the clock said 19:2x.
Booted it in and went under in 19:37 (on my watch, 19:4x on the clock)
Watch said I'd ran 4.85km though. A few others said the same.
Had similar before with heavy tree cover throwing the GPS way off so put it down to that.
Had about two hours of being on top of the world with a monster 15 sec PB before getting an apology email from them to say they had measured the course wrong, it was short by 100m. They positioned the turnaround cone in the wrong spot.
The tree cover knocked it out but only by 50m.
Was like a kick in the balls.
Based on the pace I was running the last km I calculated the 100m would have taken me 23.4 secs, and that's exactly what they readjusted me to on the results.
20:01.
Can't help feeling I'd have found at least 2 secs when the clock came into view.
Sick.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

I was looking at the table leaders in some of the larger groups like ParkRun. some of the stats are mind blowing.
Any body know this fella? https://www.strava.com/athletes/3285...&year_offset=0

Well I’m buzzing at the moment, haven’t been doing much pure running of late as tennis took over and back to the office. None of my normal lunch running buddies wanted to go today so I said I’d go for a 5km attempt around the green as it’s pretty much as flat a course as possible. I set my current 5kmPB of 21:12 there in January 2019 and despite doing way more training since then, losing 18lbs and being much fitter I haven’t been below 21:45 this year. Also my split timer wasn’t working so I wasn’t getting notifications but I know 4 laps is ~5km. Anyway I took off like the clappers and stayed as close to max as possible for the duration hoping to get into the 20s but no good... passed the 20s altogether to get 19:25! Absolutely delighted... 3:32 first km and 3:41 2nd km put me in good stead then just did 4:06 for last three. Feels great.

Went for a jog in the mountains just there after getting inspiration from Solks 100mileWestern trail film that he posted in the BBV. Absolutely buzzing after it, some trail running mixed with tarmac, hills (walked most of them) great scenery pissed rain for a bit but it was grand.
Calf is a bit sore now. Turns out a rash I have on the calf is psoriasis (which may be contributing to the pain) so the GP prescribed steroid cream so I'm hoping when it clears I will be able to run more on it.
She also put me on a Ventolin inhaler as I have had a wheeze for a good while now and was struggling with my breathing when running.
Completely different feel running in the mountains , mind you the traffic on the way back was dodgy so will be staying clear of the main road from now on.Last edited by dinekes; 05-07-20, 15:28.

Got a 20 second PB in a 10k solo time trial yesterday. 43:02
Pleasantly surprised myself. Like Joe, I'd like to test it in a race scenario.
Joe, the more I think about your sub 20 the more I'm impressed. You've got serious potential in the 5k with a solid block of specific training.
Low to mid 18s for sure.
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Thats great on the 10km time, I’m such a long way from 43:02! My best is still 45:01, and that felt like it took every ounce! I also think the mental side of it is really interesting, was talking to someone before the run about Navy seals saying that when you get to the point where you can’t go anymore, you’re actually about halfway to what you can do, so I had that in my mind running that I did t want to give a shit, just bang out whatever is possible.

Here's the other one . It was actually posted by BennyHifi
Haven't watched all of it yet.
its an article as it happens and I had read it after all. Funny how my memory played it back as if I had watched some of it. Hmmm....Trump Syndrome

Was up in the mountains these past 2 weekends doing a bit.
Jogged Tibradden trail (the flat bits) which was great. Constantly adjusting as ground is uneven with lots or rocks so great for the stabilizer muscles (or so I've read)
Also did a nice 5 mile section of a side road with probably 60/40 split between jogging and walking (usually the steep hills)
I found the steep gradients really difficult but picked a target and then broke it down into 5 metre chunks to get there.
Following Laz's advice in general about going really slow and not worrying about time.
Calf injury I had been struggling with is getting increasingly stronger. The patch of psoriasis is cleaning up nicely so figure that must have had something to do with the repeated injuries and pain of it.
Going to stick with slow for now and build up mileage.
Used to have a great engine when hurling/soccer etc but haven't done long or even medium distance in ages.
Some feel good factor in it, can feel the addiction taking hold!
