Emotions are just starting to heat up here, will be heading towards boiling point in about a week or so. As usual the lower divisions providing most of the entertainment and you can picture @Fran / @Thomas_Brady frantically refreshing their Strava App every morning to check if @Gman / @Bandage (respectively) has posted a new run to best their own.
The seniors and senior Bs will start to come put of the woodwork in the last few days of the month accompanied by plenty of backslapping and very little vitriol claiming that they have done ānothing since Christmasā and that they ācompletely forgot about this until todayā.
@caulifloweredneanderthal, can you please post the leaderboard including updates on the first post of the thread
@Rocko can you please make this a sticky, this is box office

5:1 was the TFK guide. A marathon roughly the same as a 200km cycle.

Do some HITT ā¦ Fast for 200m then recover for the next 200mā¦ Or do 2.5k fast a couple of runs. Mix it upā¦ I bet youāll find after doing shorter faster runs youāll get into a nice rhythm when going back to your 5k

Iām following the regime laid out by an app. Increasing your running time to 20, 22, 25 mins etc. Nine more runs left til completion.
Fuck the app. Iām telling you what the experts on here told meā¦
thereās me struggling to do my 25min 5k, good friend of mine set a personal best for his 5k today then, 16.22. Fucking hell like. He ran 5k to the athletics track in UL as his warm up before doing it.

Running is like life - the only person you are really racing is yourself.

Is or was he a professional athlete? Thatās some fucked up shit.
Iād doubt it.
Thereās a lad up here Iād know who is one of the strongest mountain ultra runners in the country. He wouldnāt be doing much on the road, but did a 16ā20ish 5km in the Carlingford 5k a few summers ago. He was 25th. 24 lads faster than that in a local meet
