Note

Would love to roll the auld calves/hammies at lunch. Very tight. should have brought the foam roller.

Thinking about the Mass Start race we were thinking of having maybe Massey's would be a nice place for it? Or is it too open?
7 PM

Running long 1:16:50 intensity: (30 @1) + (9:22 @2) + (49:47 @3) + (11:20 @4) + (5:51 @5) 10.35 km (7:25 / km) +368m 6:18 / km
ahr:171 max:185 shoes: Innov8 Terraclaw 250

Run in Masseys and a lap of Cruagh. Nice little run but I was very conscious of not doing any damage to my shins because they're shins and I'll be fecked if I'm getting shinsplits.

Kept the running motion up as much as possible even if it was slower than walking. Felt much stronger than when I did this 4/5 weeks ago but the lower legs suffered on the downhill.

Bit of randomisation at the end in Massey's to get it over the 10 mark. Happy times.

Note

Hurt my radial arm muscle yesterday a bit so didn't want to chance cycling in which means I'm going to have to jog to and from intervals. Good longer warmup/cooldown practice I suppose

PM: Ahhhhh that wind looks scary. Happy I didn't cycle now! Intervals should be fun...
5 PM

Running warm up/down 15:53 intensity: (38 @1) + (35 @2) + (13:04 @3) + (1:36 @4) 2.03 km (7:49 / km) +4m 7:44 / km
ahr:172 max:179

Running warm up/down (Drills and Strides) 23:54 [2] 2.1 km (11:22 / km) +3m 11:17 / km

7 PM

Running intervals 20:23 [4] 3.64 km (5:36 / km) +1m 5:36 / km

Tough enough session. Shins are still on the sore side and the faster ones made it more obvious so didn't do the two finishing 200s.

Enjoyable session 2x800, 4x400. Prob should have done it with the other group but I pansied out and went with Dons. He was not happy with me sticking to my correct rests so got a bit of a rest in the middle. Ah well

Something funny happening with my garmin track. Maybe because I uploaded a GPX and then a TCX. Melded together? anyway the distances and times seem alright

Running warm up/down 15:53 [3] 2.34 km (6:47 / km) +18m 6:32 / km

Jog to the luas. Not sure I mentioned this but its effin' windy!

Watched the beginning of the France England match today and then looked up the lyrics to La Marseilles. Incredibly relevant. It's funny because often-times I look at the lyrics to these anthems and think how outdated and silly they are and wonder why they don't have more time-appropriate lyrics.

I suppose the point of it is probably that you don't need them in peace times but they really come into their own in times of adversity when the country needs to band together.

Climbing 1:00:00 [1]

Climbing!!!!! Had good fun trying the comp problems and my arms weren't feeling as sore this week so could push a little harder. Need to work on being less afraid on high technical balance things because I'm perfectly fine when they're a foot of the ground. I really need to commit more.
12 PM

Running 36:05 [2] 5.2 km (6:57 / km) +9m 6:53 / km

Really lovely lunchtime run. Super easy with Ciara and Lisa. Super up for it and just felt floaty and easy which was nice. We were talking about doing another run now to give us lunchtime run motivation. I'll get them oing yet!

Out through Sandymount to the seafront and then along the seafront to Merrion gates and down Merrion Road. pretty decently close to 5k too so a bit better than the boring UCD run

3 PM

Running 36:56 [2] 5.45 km (6:47 / km) +82m 6:18 / km
shoes: Innov8 Terraclaw 250

Legs not feeling great but had a little run around the demesne. Bit of radomising. Was nice but will have to keep an eye on the ankle/shin area.

Pretty much climbing by myself. Arms weren't the best but I didn't wreck them so happy enough. Was enjoying the new comp blacks :D
