I’m going back playing a bit of junior football for next few weeks so I think I’m done with road running now until that is over. Great series so far though, nice to have a bit of a target. Well done.

Lads, here’s what I’m thinking for vertical challenge:

  1. you have to hit a min of 150 metres
  2. spend as long as you want out.
  3. to avoid lads doing long hikes and registering this, there’ll be penalties for going too slow. I suggest that if average pace is at or over 8:00/km, there will be a 50 metres penalty per thirty seconds (e.g. if you clock a 9 minute average, you lose 100 metres)
  4. winner is person with highest metres climbed

Willing to take suggestions to edit

I’d also suggest anyone going to mountains takes a phone and water. A running partner / pacer is also useful. I’ll try and rope in Xavier

Someone suggest a place near Dublin city for doing this please. The Old Military Road?

1011

That or Cruagh road.

I’ll go up Croghan again to give it a shot. I just need to aim for below 8 min km’s basically?

For your average. It doesn’t matter if it takes you ten mins a km going up if you balance it out with sub 6s going down.

You’re 2-1 up on me in this series with two to go. I have to bate you on this round. You bollix.

This is too convoluted for me. @caulifloweredneanderthal is gone all Radiohead after OK Computer.

Haven’t ran since I did the 5k in July. Definitely won’t get out for this one, will only be looking to get back into handy running distances again sometime soon.

No bother. Next 5km is start of September

Up Kilmashogue Lane and over to the mast would be another option. Think it’s about 5K in total and you’d have 300m plus of climbing. All either road or gravel so not technical. Came down that way this morning.
