Food and Where are you all?

OK, the second bit speaks for itself...
No-one's been logging since April! That's the whole month of May without a single run for any of you. For shame! Get back out there, you big girls' blouses!

Back to the first point then, I saw this in the Sunday Times this week: What to eat when you're training for a run, which lead me to this: Go Faster Food.

So, now you can get back out running ladies (and I'm including you in that Gerry), and eat really well while you're about it.
Also, welcome (back?!) to Ann Marie, who tells me that her knee has finally passed fitness and she is back training. Yeay! (Or boo? My spot on the leaderboard may be badly threatened now!)

Another 10k

Finished the largest 10k in the world yesterday. With over 59,000 people starting off took most of an hour, but went round the whole course in 1:18:39. About 5 minutes better than last year, it was a good run, enjoyed it loads. Anyway, checking out the Runners World calculators here, that puts me at an estimated marathon time of 6:01:46. Just 1:46 over the cut off for the bet.

Based on Sineads last half marathon, the calculator tells us her time will be 4:53:59, so I have quite a bit to make up. Even more to catch up to Ms Brooks 3:42:21 from Dublin last year. But never fear, I'll be there and you can eat my dust ladies.

Back to front

hey, we're back! cool! thanks Gerry!

Connemarathon - I did it!

How great am I lads?
I did the half marathon in Connemara on Sunday in the not too shabby time of 2 hours 21 minutes. Granted, I was hoping to do slightly better and finish in about 2.10, but a foot cramp at mile 9 put paid to that plan...
Anyway, yeay me!

I'll be back to do it again next year and hopefully improve on my time. Anyone want to join me??? Connemarathon

If you keep getting injured when you run, you may need to improve your technique. Sam Murphy reveals the seven commonest mistakes runners make.

Do you understand any of this?
