I’ve reluctantly put myself forward for the Masters Cross Country on Sunday. Took a pair of spikes that I bought in 1999 out for a test run earlier this evening. I’d say the last time I wore them was in college running on the track in UL in the famed 49s I think it was which was an annual mini Olympics between DCU and UL. They still fit anyway :joy:

Don’t worry about the runs you missed between Christmas and the end of the first week of January. Worry about the runs you miss between the start of the second week of January and Christmas.

Are you running cross country Sunday?

No, I’m nursing a minor calf twinge so not chancing it. Plus I don’t own a pair of spikes. Are you running?

@Mac where is the Wexford event on?

I’ve run very few races, but a few of the lads are running a 10k next week. Is there any risk in racing it while completely under cooked?

Yeah, I’ll be making up the numbers. Good few of the stronger lads from the club running.

Kilmore are hosting it in Lyngstown / Lingstown. A lovely open track by the coast. No wind at all I’m sure :hushed::hushed::dash:

There’s a risk of you blowing up and suffering for the last few km but other than that I’d say you’ll be grand.

Same course I’d say. The father in law has already warned me about the mile long stiff uphill finish :sob:

I’d defer to @Wexford1996 and others as per but I also think you’d be grand. The long run this weekend and a couple of shorter ones during the week will bring you on too.

Never, go out as hard as you think it’s possible to sustain @TreatyStones, about 4:05 per KM

Is it Caherconlish, the believe the last KM is almost all slightly downhill
