Nice 10k PB yesterday in TQ10k - broke 53 mins for first time.  ;D
Struggled in the last km, felt totally done-in, couldn't manage a sprint finish.

I'm starting to wonder how achievable breaking 50 mins is.  Only my second km yesterday came near it at 5.02.  I imagine it would be an awful lot of work.

Course you will, you should target the Jimmy Ten K race in Downpatrick, tough enough as there are couple hills in it but good grandstand finish in the town. Well done btw

Is that the Jimmy Murray ten K someone told me about the other week?

Wee Jimmy was a ex teacher of mine, loved his running and cross country.

I never seen that footage of Ovett and Treacey before, made my day that, im still smiling. The smugness of the commentary makes it all the better.

Saw it yesterday and like others wasn't aware it had happened. Even a yard or two from the line you think Treacy isn't going to get up. Never liked Ovett. Always preferred Seb Coe for some reason (probably didn't realise he was a raging Tory) and Steve Cram.

Nice video of the Castlebar Park Run.

At the time of the run on a Saturday morning it is usually much quieter than in the video.

Some sharp turns on that course!

Dunno about the safety of going through a small housing estate, a car park and a main road bridge either!
Looks like a narrow enough path also.

It isn't a housing estate, it is a handful of holiday homes and a coffee shop.  The car park is usually empty at 09:30 on a Saturday morning and you only use the footpath on the bridge for 10 yards. There are a couple of sharps turns alright, I'll give you that. Also the hill is steeper than it looks in the video, but you only do it once and there is a long downhill section afterwards.

The two Park Runs I have done in Dublin have narrower paths with double or sometimes treble the number of runners.

I agreed with you on the sharp turns and merely re-calibrated the errors of your ways on the rest.  ;D
