Lockdown 2021 Run Challenge

@Thomas_Brady seems to have jumped off a cliff for his final km

Overall I’d fancy @Thomas_Brady to win this battle. They are both fairly windy and constantly looking for excuses, but I think when push comes to shove that bit of Limerick grit will pull him through.

That was strange… I was actually going slightly up hill… It was from Hartys Quay up Rochestown road.

I think you’re probably right but I got great enjoyment out of today. I messed with his head. Messed with it good and proper. There’s psychology in getting out early and claiming the clubhouse lead. Seems @Thomas_Brady was looking out the window all day until he couldn’t stop himself from running in a rainstorm. Not only that but he proceeded to piss and shit himself during the run. Not only that but I can picture his butty little legs going ninety in that last kilometre trying to beat the target. Not only that but he still came up short. Ah lovely.

I find it impossible to separate TomĆ”s Brady from the butty legs now. It’s like strawberries and cream. Well played.

I’ll refrain from such nasty jibes and instead I’ll do my talking on the field of play.

@Locke and his hill watching*

I’ll be doing my usual downhill start if I get out this weekend

Yere an inspiring bunch. Lounging on the couch after a KCs Phily Steak and chips, like a 6’2ā€ Buddha, I saw a near 70 odd posts sitting in this thread and the great effort that @Bandage had done, not to mention @Thomas_Brady rolling down Moneygourney Hill in order to get an average of 5:29 and beat a stranger off the INTERNET. Well I said fuck it, fuck the right ankle soreness and ta hell with the left calf strain, I’m going out for a 5km run. Hadn’t run in a week so the Garmin isn’t right for elevation but the speed is right.

I’ll log the time of 27:02 but will go again before the month is out.

Right, I’m off for a foam roll, a shave, a shower and a wank - in that order.

It’s great to see the intermediate lads setting the tone here.

This is like the Formula 1 qualifying. The Jordan cars currently in pole position but Eddie Irvine still hasn’t even sat into his Ferrari yet and Schumacher hasn’t even arrived at the track yet

@backinatracksuit - you’re being very kind staying quiet here after this morning’s effort

The first 2k were accidentally quite quick so I decided to push it a bit,

What are we looking at?

A cunt

A little trickle of shit popped out there reading that didn’t it?

Taking a piss which you need badly enough to stop in a 5k race in twenty seconds is impossible. You weren’t running fast enough to warp the space time fabric like that cunt from Wexford (not @bandage , the other one)
You’d barely have your knob out in twenty (20) seconds.
