Running

That looks a great race. Good luck with it. You'll be well able. My first 5k I have only ever run 4k and my first 10 k I had only run 8.4k so you'll be sound. You have ran twice this distance already!

Am in Dublin myself this weekend and might get to do that. Was looking for a run in Dublin and didn't notice this one.

I smell a gaaboard showdown in the brewing

Booked into this on sunday: http://terenure5mile.com

It is 2 miles longer than I would have liked for my 1st organised run, but all the 5k runs seem to be on saturdays.

Over the next few days will I add excuses to the above one.

But f*ck it, time to shit or get off the pot.

Sent you a PM Seanie.

[Never beat the deeler]

Have been sidelined most of the year due to niggling injuries - calf, hip, back caused by poor posture (leaning forward while running) and flat feet.
Been focusing on core work at the gym and keeping the runs short but last Wed it was dull and drizzly here (a rarity for Perth) and I was home early from work, so I took the opportunity to up the distance.

Went out slower than I usually would, and planned on an 8.5k route, but was feeling really good coming close to home so I did a lap of the park to up it to 10k. Was too dark to keep an eye on the time, so I never realised what speed I was averaging, but I managed to come in at 63:55, which is the best I have done this year.
Hoping to run a 12k road race on 25 May, and on the back of this thread have bought a heart monitor.

Want to get back to, and beating my 10k PB of 57:55 by the end of the winter

Well ye can f**k right off if ye think we're travelling north again for all the nordies to be a no-show, meself and Ballinaman up there like eijits, although it did result in some unexpected silverware

I was as guilty as anyone! In my defence I registered for the 10km and intended to go but the wedding the day before was too good  Even at 3.30am in the residents bar I was talking about a PB the next day. 

I would suggest one of the race series runs in the build up to the Dublin marathon which are Dublin based. The 10km might give everyone a good run out and target.

[laoislad]

I plan on doing the Dublin race series also.
Might be a good one for a few of us to meet up alright.

[imtommygunn]

5 miler on June 28th or 10k on July 20th in the Dublin series.

I wouldn't mind doing one of those as it's round the time I reckon I'll be back in race shape.

Well done on getting back to the distance.  These heart rate monitors had better work  (would help if I actually went out running though as have neglected it as I'm working away from home).

Race shape! I'll just be happy to be in able to bend down to tie my running shoes shape.....!

Race schedule done....always the easy part!

The 10km in July seems like a plan to me.

They've announced the new route for DCM this year. Had to change with LUAS works. No O'Connell st. Heads off towards St Stephens Green and stays on the outside heading to the park along the quays, then through the park on Chesterfield Av (long drag but early in run), out of park to Castleknock, back into park and then along much of the same route but ending is different, no Nassau Street.

Seems fairly ok and nice to know after Roebuck Hill/Clonskeagh that you are into the last few miles.
