EUCC ride, pretty chill pace to begin with then jumped on the front with Thomas (A coursemate of Purko) and started ramping up the pace gradually and sat with him for the majority of the ride, nothing disgusting but getting some good speed. Then it chilled off a bit towards the end and got a nice wind shelter, nice ride out and a few of boys had good craic. Stopped garmin halfway but think was about 70k.

To the crags for the first hill i've run up for a good month and half for:

3 x 3 min [jog back down]

followed by:

4 x 1 min [1min] on the killing fields.

Very nice lung buster on the 3min hill efforts, felt pretty horrible but you've got to start somewhere.

Comfortably hard effort on the 1min however think knee reacted a little bit more to this with the faster turnover, not hurting but feeling perhaps a little weird and glute/calf tightened up from it on the way home. Have done my 3 days of running this week which was the plan and two days off should be sufficient enough for it to feel okay again I hope. Rolling and more stretching is on the cards with a check up from the phsyio next week.

With the boys and Fay, good chat.

Core at 5:30pm

With Stan,Felly,Fay and Tess as well Ali for a bit. Chat and some music made it go by reasonably quickly.

Some token stretching with the Dan including a few rare appearances of a hairy guch.

Around the seat with Colm
2 x 5min and some 5-6 x lampost strides

First fast running and no reaction from knee.(Fingers crossed) Legs got pretty much instadoms from the last 5 mins with 2mins of it being running downhill on the road.

EUOCCC, great fun cycling in a bigger bunch.

No pain :)
