Goal Mile 2019

Expectations were that sub 6 would be good. No way I’m in great shape at the moment after the last few weeks. Also had a running buggy to push and to get it around a few corners.

Started hard, waiting for the road to clear as 1st corner is tight. Start was akin to the start of a bobsleigh run. Sprinting off hard pushing. Then after the first two corners there was the very fast run down to the bridge. Doing fast here.

A few people to negotiate before the bridge and then at the bridge there was a small girl on a scooter with her mother blocking the narrow gate. Had to go past and then turn. Probably safer at speed but did cost a second or so.

Started to suffer along the river walk. And definitely suffering before the bridge and short climb to follow. Had looked at my watch so knew sub 6 was doable. So gave what I could to the finish line. Happy. Erik happy too.

Road warm up/down (Buggy) 9:44 [3] 1.66 km (5:52 / km) +5m 5:47 / km
ahr:134 max:149 shoes: New Balance 890 v6

With Erik in the running buggy. Cool morning but no ice. Not bad running conditions.

Road warm up/down 12:20 [2] 1.9 km (6:30 / km) +8m 6:22 / km
ahr:137 max:156 shoes: New Balance 890 v6

Would have run a bit more but thought Erik might fall asleep. Didn’t want that to happen as had to get home. Legs feeling fine. Also noticed a headwind on the way back up towards Deenagh Lodge so that could have helped the downhill.

Muckross

Felt very tired this morning so decided to skip running. Took Erik out in his buggy hoping he’d sleep. But the little fecker took an hour to drop off.

Nice morning apart from a very nasty shower. Saw the flash of lightning and heard the thunder at around 4.30 (I think) this morning, Erik was up, a contributory factor to feeling tired!

Walking 1:29:32 [3] 7.0 km (12:47 / km) +18m 12:37 / km
ahr:91 max:171

Took Erik out in the normal buggy so he'd nap. He went off as expected so kept on walking with him. In between showers so a good result. Got a couple of things in town too. So total time includes being inside of Dunnes queuing for the tills, very busy.

Hope to get a run in early tomorrow. Not feeling any ill effects after yesterday so seems to have been ok to run.

Trails 32:30 [3] 4.93 km (6:35 / km) +162m 5:40 / km
ahr:160 max:186 shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4

Muckross

Finally some fresh air. Not sure how good an idea it is to run but fed up not running. Didn’t push it or run too long so hoping no ill effects. Still coughing up crap.

A few bigger tracks, some MTB tracks and a tiny bit of no tracks in between. Muddy enough after recent rain.

Saw a couple of squirrels at different times. Other than than it was quiet in the woods. Escaped the showers mostly.
