Training Log Archive: ColmM

Good week's return, hadn't intended to do any more than 70km.
Will look to slowly increment it now.

Sunday "Long" run with lorrieq.
Down from Roebuck to Irishtown, some loops & back.
The roads took it out of me after a while. Might take a bit to get back to this training lark.

Wanted to do more, but it just got so dang late.

Easy round bushy.
Legs still tight as.

Extended windy arbour 7.5
Doms after yesterday's hill race into 5-a-side combo.
Legs stiffened up a bit as well after the stop at the chipper on route home.

V easy round masseys with Róisín

Easy warm up with Clo

Hellfire IMRA Charity - 1st
Warming up spotted Killian Mooney, and knew I'd be in a battle for 2nd at best.
Starting off I didn't see Killian, and some other fellow led at a reasonable pace, I tucked behind feeling comfortable enough, coming up to the hill rep turn he was breathing heavily so I pushed on a bit. Summitted pretty comfortably 50m ahead after what felt like a strong climb.
Moving quickly along the fire road & onto scrappier trails, and nearing the far end of hellfire sure enough Killian was coming towards me just out for a jog.
Turned up one or two more climbs working hard and couldn't see anyone behind for a distance, and then realised I'd probably started a bit hard, or just noticed the lack of intensity recently cos my lungs were on fire. Struggled through the remaining climbs & flats back to hellfire with a good few nervous glances back as Torben started to close in on me.
Got to the top with 50m lead again so I could open up and cruise the descent in the end.

Family took the Men's & women's wins, nice.

Not as out of shape as expected but yeah
