Youād get about 600 with an up and down from the road.
If you donāt get mucky doing the trails, youāre doing it wrong.
Iāll be around Keeper and off the back of it next Saturday le Cunamh De. Iāll be the lad with the black cap trying to keep up with an athletic fella.
Slept in this morning had hoped to get to 300m elevation but Mrs has work on so ran out of time. Added a whole 2 extra metres to last run.
The place was like a mud bathā¦but there were loads of groups trudging up and down the trails. Iāve fucking thorn scrapes all over my arms here stinging away.
Anyway, very disappointed not to see @Locke or @Fran and @flattythehurdler give this a lash. Iāve little to no fitness and did something. These lads are grand fellas to give it big licks freewheeling down hill on their 5k runs.
Yeahā¦ The hills around here are short but seriously steepā¦ I donāt know if itās easier to go longer on terrain thatās gradually elevating or those shorter steeper elevations every few hundred metresā¦ Itās almost like interval trainingā¦ Get your breath back on the other side and go again.
Got another 700 metres approximately in this morning. Came off keeper a way Iād never come down heading towards Silvermines direction. My buddy said to me whatever you do, donāt go off the trail and go left, because youāll be off the mountain. He flew off. Visibility was non existent and I rolled my dodgy ankle at the start so had a nervy/cautious descent. Lovely open mountain wet trail though @PhattPike@backinatracksuit. Brings you back the Slieve Felim Way then and hooks up to main Keeper route after about 3-4km. We planned on coming down the MTB trails then but my ankle was feeling a bit dodgy so we stuck to the fire roads unfortunately.
Following on from @Corksfinedtboy posting semi nudes yesterday, this is the way your legs should look after running a few trails
I had the gear out to go this morning and then Mrs Mac got up with the boys and I fell back asleep. Iām currently sipping a coffee in bed contemplating my options
my Mrs, God bless her, has never made a bad remark about my body in all our time together (and thereās plenty she could), but a number of years ago, she said one day āyouāve awful weird toesā.
At least all my toenails are in tact at the moment. The big ones have gone a good few times over the years.
