the boys are flying...........

I had a great weeks training last week with no injuries.
For most of the week I ran 40-60 minutes running.On Friday I decided to run  a long one considering I was going to have a long day working at the Athlone 3/4 which AK are sponsors.
Sunday at the last minute i decided to help Barry out and do the pacing for 3hour marathon pace.
I ran nice and controlled at 7.05-710 pace and at 15miles most where starting to suffer on the hills.
Finished up in 2.16 and body feels great.

A couple of easy recovery days ahead and then time to put a proper training schedule in place.
Well done to team AK who won the Hell & back race for a third year in a row.I had to give it a miss this year as i couldn't risk an injury again.
Well done to our sponsored athletes the weekend.Jt was 5th in the Tallaght 5miler and Goh was 2nd in the Athone 3/4 marathon.

Perfect shoes !!!

The last few weeks I have managed some consistant training.Most runs are 30mins and have along run Sunday 70mins.
Decided to give Hell & Back race a miss this year and instead will head down to the Athlone three quarter marathon
which Amphibian King will be doing a shop at.

 I love this time of the year seeing so many people out testing their bodies with punishing long runs.
Good luck to everyone training for the marathon.

I have gone back tothe Mizuno riders for training and love them.The last model I feel out of love with Mizuno but very happy now with the Rider 15's.

The new year myself and my mate Gary O Hanlon will be starting up a training group and plans for people
interested in 5k-marathon programmes.
