Thank you to my esteemed fellow committee member who pointed out that yes our Limerick-based Corkman @backinatracksuit is indeed leading this challenge. My apologies and this has been righted below.

Yeah, right Francis 
I love the exploring. Finding a new section every time. Thereās a bit of Mountain that Iāve tried to connect a few times but finally found a bit on the bike the other day that might do it. It would have been a hike a bike to go much further than the trail we found, so hoping to go back to run it Sunday. A lot of the steep bits is just hiking but you need to train for that too. To be able to hike then jog then hike then jog then hammer a descent. You wouldnāt be listening to a podcast while doing it, thatās for sure.

@Spidey has the potential to beat @Bandage but no sign of a time from him. I reckon itās his to lose.
Not a chance. Tried to get out the other day and felt stiff after 5km in 27 mins. Even a dynamic warm up session in Inisfails under the cover of a morning fog wouldnt have me reaching the Wexicans magnificent efforts.

I think @Bandage is like a dog with a bone here. If someone posted a better time Monday night, heād be back out the door and heād beat it. Heās posted the top 2 times already
PS @Bandage we can send on some head torch recommendations for you

I didnāt realise going sub 52 minutes is Intermediate level.
Iām intrigued by @Thomas_Brady. Heās suspiciously quiet in the last few days and I sense heās taken his regime OFFLINE. I fear a dramatic weekend gazumping from the former academic.
No palā¦ Iāve only had a couple of runs in the last two weeks as life happened and did its thingā¦ Iāll do well to get near my previous time not to mind better it.
Keep the faith, you can do it, I believe in you 
You must have been tipping away at a fair auld pace if you did a 48:46 and spent half of the back 5 walking.
Ah life. Weāre taking advantage of Easter weekend in lockdown to do toilet training for the eldest fella. Starting tomorrow morning, I canāt wait. A run this morning will actually be the most enjoyable part of this Easter break for me (bar restaurant at home meal from Fade Street Social on Saturday night).

The blue dips are all where I had to stop running. I was using my lap pace on my watch as a rough guide. Once I kept it close to 5 overall I knew I was safe. My aim at 5k was to finish under 50 so was happy enough considering where I was at that stage

Iām getting out tomorrow myself for the head more than anythingā¦ Iāve been a one man show for over a week with the Mrs under the weatherā¦ Iām here now after a days work, dog and little lady walked, the house hoovered and floors swept and currently standing over a hot stove cooking dinner and then weāll be onto cleanupā¦ but in my mind Iām running the quay here with flipbelt and expensive shorts (I can see my todger flailing side to side with each stride) and Iām closing in on sub 50ā¦
Like my todger, I just want to be free.
