Nice course. Long. Just ran about, got tired towards the end, but still won our race across to 32! ;) Naw, have a lost a lot of general fitness and form in the legs.. hope it don't take too long to get back.

Would have done quickroute, but there was a problem and the running line at it's smallest, was huge!

Have been real tired lately.. and was again today, so took a rest. Unfortunately, as i can never get in a run on a friday.. it'll be 2 in a row.

Legs were wrecked, and calfs were annoyed with all this road stuff..
So less than planned and slower than usual but thats okay

6x1km, 2min rest.
The rest was longer than usual, distance and reps the same. Technically an easier session than usual. Physically - Death.
Haven't been in ages, and haven't been running on much roads at all recently. The hard ground annihilated me.Physically, very tough going. So, shockingly slow times and not all that consistent, but nothing wrong with that. Real good session. Just getting back really. Schools X-Country at the end of January are a bit of a goal.
Times: 344, 336, 339, 341, 341, 345

Interesting route choicing yesterday. If you look below you'll see my routes. Laurence's route to 8 was much better, yet a less noticeable route, although i had anticipated this. My route to 9 was just behind Jonathan's and ahead of Laurence's. To 12, Laurence and I were pretty much equal. To 14 though, both Laurence and Jonathan were miles ahead of me, the semi-open proving to be the difference. To 16, I was ahead of both comfortably, although both Jonathan and Laurence had mistakes, so I probably would have been similar to Laurence. After skipping 20 & 21, Laurence's route was expectedly far better to 22!

Easy Run. Was at Hamlet in UCD so struggled to get a whole pile done. Wanted the run, wanted the Maths more. Combined them for a nice run doing Integration and Complex Numbers equations mentally from a revision sheet. Fun stuff! Also found a nice 6.5km loop which has plenty of potential to be extended.
