He must have Limerick connections.

@Fran must be scratching his head, looking around his 5km circle for a bigger hill to run down after seeing that time.

If only he was in the leafy South Cork suburbs you could show him the big hills you run down

Today’s a lovely running day in the capital. Sunny but chilly and still. I’m expecting some times to be posted, as the weather’s set to turn from this evening onwards.

My training has pivoted to 400m and circuits pre Easter.

I’ve ordered new runners so a 10km is certainly a stretch goal for April.

@Fran

solution to your problems

[Thomas_Brady]

No run in over a week… Mrs Brady is under the weather so I’m all things to everyone the last few days and trying to get in the garden for the last hour of light in the evening. I might see if I can go on a lunch time 5/6k to keep the legs ticking over.

[Locke]

If there’s one thing we have in Leafy South Cork City are hills. And if it’s hills that @Fran wants to use then I’ll give him hills. See below, first 6km is downhill . Did a recon at the end of my run the other night of 1 km on a gradual downhill, was easily able to do 4:30 pace. Of course I’ll call off this madness that Francis started and do a fair and just route but lines have been drawn in the sand.

The elevation is 173m down to sea level if anyone is wondering. I actually think I wouldn’t be able to make the best use out of it since I’d be laughing so much for the first 6 km!

Just go out and run for fuck sake and stop rabbiting on and making excuses

I’ve been running down to the seafront at Clontarf on Sunday nights when I’m afraid to go into the park. In my mind, it seemed like a huge downhill but, on checking afterwards, it was only -10m elevation or something to get down there. It’s mind boggling to think you and Brady are running down hills around 17x as steep as that.

@Fran

here’s a @locke style run in sun laoghaire

[flattythehurdler]

Outstanding effort @RaymondCrotty , but that road makes me fear you’ll end up in series 2 of The Serpent.

[flattythehurdler]

Sounds like @Locke is coping fine

[balbec]

He’s explaining…

[Fran]

It’s just as well we didn’t do the inter county team thing, @Locke & I would be going at it like Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer on the downhill slopes

Great running btw @RaymondCrotty, I was waiting for you to post a time to beat me

[Locke]

Did you find the hiking boots tough to run in mate?

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Decent article from Sonia. Still running sub 20 for 5km
