Tonights session was 4 x 800m,the first 3 ran in 2.32 and the last in 2.26.At the moment I feel my endurance is good for this time of the year but im lacking in speed.when I say speed i mean where I could run a sub 65-66 lap and feel comfortable but right now my training is more aimed at 10k so speed is not as important.
I was up eary at 6am this morning,usual bowl of porridge and banana.went out for 35mins run @ 8min miles.
Was supposed to have a massage at 3pm but after I mix up I ended up not going as the massage therapist was booked up.
what is the story with the wind these days?Few of the lads heading to Enfield tonight for a 5k,would love to be racing but Saturday is looming.
Have been thinking of a marker regarding time for the 5k and id be content with sub 16.30 but would like it to be closer to 16mins.Being my first race for a while I know I will come on alot for the run so will see on Saturday:)
Mileage for today 13miles !!!

The long road back....
It's been about 5 years since I had a blog and only after reading some fantastic blogs like Matthew Bidwell www.beermatt.blogspot.com/ and Barry Minnocks http://www.barryminnock.com/ I decided to give it a go.
So the last 13 weeks I have been training building a base before I started racing again.
My first race is next Saturday in the phoenix park(Donore 5k) and im starting to get very nervous.
I have been running since the age of 10 and over the years have stopped and started running again but right now I have the hunger for it and working in Amphibian King makes it easy as I meet so many people who love to run.
Tonights run was a tempo run and I headed down to the park only to be told that it's closed till Tuesday due to Obama being over.So I ran 15mins easy followed by 20mins hard(3.65miles) and 15mins easy.
A solid session but the thought of going 70-90seconds quicker I know is gona hurt on Saturday.
so with my first post out of the way I hope to update this on a regular basis and make it informative and hope it makes enjoyable reading :)
