Plan was to go from tempo into bit of a middle distance, but map seemed too old and just wrong, so basically just ended up bailing on that, and just doing a bit of a run round the trails.

Won’t really be doing any long runs in the build up to woc, but will do a few of this sort of length most likely.
Swapped today’s session till tomorrow.
Getting lovely views over longitude.

Raced up, cruised down. We’re playing it safe before woc, so no racing the injury-riddled descents.
Struggled a bit to get working early on along the Wicklow way, and losing some places on the climb along the switchbacks. Paul k came up by me then, so tried to keep a rythym and hanging in there got me going a bit better.
Had one or two more come past me in the open, but once we hit the heather, on the final bit of ascent, I got a shout of “and it’s here long-legged Moran will eat you up”, which I wasn’t convinced by, but it got me going, and I went through a good chunk of the guys who’d passed me.
Not sure exactly where I summitted, top 10 pretty sure. Counted 9 passed me on the descent so I’ll work it out when I get results.
Obviously a little sad not to get to race the best part, and this was a lovely soft trail down most the way, and quite even, and then onto fire roads, but it felt very responsible, and I knew the best part of the session had been done.
Reckon I could have had 3rd or 4th in me today, but I ran 51:08 for this course in 2016, and its hard to imagine I could have gotten much below 54 today, but who knows.
Pretty happy with the climb, and feel I’m getting back into shape.

Easy miles in Phoenix Park with Corbett. Legs feeling pretty good again, and have a good bit of energy about me.
Easy to be motivated after Felly’s performance today.
