GEN training: Sprint O intervals in UCD planned by Laurence Quin and racing against Christian Foley Fisher, Jonathan Quin and Audrey Martin. It was fecking awesome training.
We ran six intervals (data and map to come later). The first two Chris and i ran the same interval against each other in opposite directions. He won first i won second. Then the third and fourth interval we ran head to head in the same direction, he won one i won the other. And the fifth and sixth interval all four of us ran against each other but with 10 second start intervals. I would have won the fifth and most exciting interval (12 controls! and me Jonathan and Chris were swopping the lead by the end) but i took a risky route into the cirlce of the final control and had to come back out of the bush and around into it. First back wins no matter what. I won the last. Jonathan Quin is a fast bugger! And he wasn't put off by Chris or myself. Good relay training also.
So it was great training and there were 40 tagged sites from Laurence. Thanks!

Note
My right calf has being tight for the last 4-5 days. A rub on the soleus muslce right before a hard session seems to be enough to keep it happy for the hard running. I'm really running on a knifes edge here. As i've said, it's a roller coaster ride, sometimes the calves are fine, sometimes one is bad, sometimes the other, sometimes both, sometimes neither. The cross training and massage helps. So who knows how it'll play out! My physio keeps saying to run.
