Training on the bike !!!

As the title suggest all im doing is a small bit of biking of late.
Been lazy on the Physio front and need to get the finger out.

Last week was fun,headed out to the Athlong three-quarter marathon with Nelly and Gary.
the drive down was great fun as both lads had never ran further than 13miles in training this was going to be a test for both.
I was on the bike and after only 400m gary was well clear so i cycled with him for the duration chatting to him and looking after his drinks and gels.
Nelly was run a very controlled race back in the field,starting of at 6.30 minute miles and picking it up near the end to come home in 4th place and under his 2.36 marathon pace.
Gary ran the race of his life coming home in first place wearing the Amphibian king colours.
His time was 145.59 which is 2.20 marathon pace,outstanding running.
The event in Athlone was pure class with gels,drinks,jellies and even Mellon on hand for the runners.Some big bunches running with the pacers made this event a must for those running dublin for the first time.
