Bandage would you consider going back playing a bit of junior as an industrious wing forward given you must be as fit as youā€™ve ever been ?

Iā€™m not ruling anything in or out. To be honest, Iā€™ve always fancied a crack at the Bob Radcliffe Cup.

Couldnā€™t handle the idea of work this morning in this weather so hit the trails for a very slow 17k. Absolutely savage weather out there and had a bit of company from the lad below along the way. Let me get a lot closer than I expected to him

Lovely stuff, thanks. Iā€™ve done week 5. I ran yesterday instead - Iā€™m resting today due to Sevco v Celtic and Killester Donnycarney FC v Wexford FC back to back.

Do you mean next weekā€™s sessions will ONLY be Monday and Wednesday ahead of a LSR on Friday? Wasnā€™t quite sure what you meant.

Only saw this now. The guy I was running it with was a former student. Had never ran there before. Doing a half this morning. Going to try do it at marathon pace.

Was that an event/race today, pal?

4906

No pal, just a long training run. Was going for that distance but hadnā€™t intended on getting that much climb in. I did end up going around in a circle on one mountain for about fifteen to twenty minutes only one to come back to the same point. Visibility was shite
