Not fueling up properly. Food not digested yet most likely

Did it twice. Cracking race. That hill at around 8.5 miles is a killer as is seemingly endless slightly uphill final stretch

how did my fellow parkrunners get on this morning? @Mac

Have now knocked 30 seconds/km off my time and lowered my av HR by 6bpm from my first Z2 run. Getting results already. It’s taking serious discipline though - a fella flew past me last night that I knew I could burn but I’d to keep in the zone. I read that running with your hands down by your side helps lower the heart rate so I’m looking like a bigger plonker than usual doing this

Did you smash it pal?

the 6 bottles of Guinness last night didn’t stand to me

The Guinness should be for AFTER the run, not before

I wouldn’t get iverly concerned by lowering heart rate. Thats not necessarily an indication of fitness.

Time and speed and indeed HRV are better indicators than anything else. Your HR will level off but you could get gitter and fitter.

Biomechanics
Mitochindria
Ligament and tendon development
Aerobic Capacity
Aerobic Power

Are some of the things that can improve an awful lot after HR levels.

I haven’t a clue what some of that means but it sounds great to an agricultural funrunner like myself.
I’m going to smash 2017 to fucking bits.

And you don’t have to. Iust look at waving up and down your training in a High-Low fashion. Hard day-easy day. Measure your speed and layer you distance (as in creep up the distances).

Do some strength Training too, thats critical. And it doesn’t have to be fancy

@caoimhaoin Neil Francis reckons Leinster need to close the gym down

Quite a misleading headline.

They certainly have an issue, seems like a loading one, or maybe god forbid a warm up one.

I just recently got an International TWD participant back to competitive TWD from Hamstring Avulsion. Her physio had told her give up.

Leinster know where i am.

What’s TWD mate ?

Taeeeee Kwooooon Dooooo
