Scotty Parker would have been proud of your effort, but just didnāt do enough to stay up this season.
PS Iāll be more like Sheffield United here
Iām taking the following into account here:
- Your times these days.
- You are a KK man, albeit it from Vegas.
- These runners look cool.
- I got paid today and need a new set of runners.
Going to buy a pair!

Outstanding running. That must have been brutal.
Thats the gutting thing. Actually felt pretty strong in it. Easily the best running Iāve done this year and then I pull my hamstring in the last strides of the last run.
As an aside , Matty and I did a 22.56 5k today as part of a 10.
Iāll post times in a bit.
I wonāt get a chance to do 5 again unfortunately. Didnāt set out to do a fast 5 but pushed on.
Thatās a balls. I ripped by hamstring to bits playing hurling (grade 4). Rehabbed it on the bike but it took a long long time to get close to resolved. I bizarrely found that putting insulation tape fairly tight around my mid thigh helped an awful lot once I went back to running/hurling, my theory being that it stopped the muscle belly flapping around as much.
Is it hammer or really glute or hip or back,? Quite often the problem is elsewhere.
Get the foam roller out and see whatās going on around the hammerā¦ Iāve a huge trigger point in my glute causing me pain.
Well this is definitely the hammer, as I felt it go a little.
But yes there must an underlying issue on that side as Iāve pulled it a few times on that same side in recent years.
Are physios operating these days? I think I need to get an MRI to see what is going on there.
They should be ā¦bit of needling might help you recover a bit quicker if thereās a trigger or two knocking about.
My people might be from Vegas but Iām not 
. Could be worse though, you couldāve said Slieverue or Kilmacow.
You wonāt go wrong with those runners.

Thatās a dose.
Iām not in the camp of running being bad for knees/joints etc but running hard is most definitely risky. That was a great session you put together yesterday and Iām as certain as can be that you are capable already of going close to 19 minutes on your day
Ya, I just need to be more careful on my loading. I know that myself.
My normal week was hard Wednesday, easy Friday, long or semi hard Sunday.
This week I did:
Hard Wednesday, long and easy Friday, hard Sunday, hard Tuesday.
From experience I know itās not a bad tear and Iāll probably be able to do some light jogging on it by the start of next week. Just need to see if I can address the underlying issues with it now.
That would be like saying my mothers people are from Oola Co. Limerick but Iām not. I am one half Oola and itās the good half at that!

I might go again Friday, but I found that hard. I suppose I could use lack of road running as an excuse, but to be honest, itās a lack of general fitness.
Route was fine, if monotonous. Up and down, up and down one flat country-style road. Crosswinds were bothersome (lovely wind at my back for cooldown jog 
).

Does 2256 keep me up you fat tipp cunt?
Yeah, sub 23. I was 9 seconds off.
Itās hard, I donāt like the 5k.
I reckon I could have gone a minute quicker maybe if weād set off with that intention, rather than pushing on for 5k in the middle. We also slowed almost to a walk for a couple of hundred metres before realising we were short, by 900m 
Iāll not do it again. Iāll aim for a 48 10k next maybe.

I wouldnāt have found that tough a few years back, but it was rough today tbh. Since Iāve come back, Iāve had a banana, two cuts of toast with raspberry jam, a yogurt and a big slice of some coconut and oats energy treat that my lovely wife had in the fridge for me. Iāve a morning of Teams meetings bullshit ahead
