Time to Take Action
If you are running the V.H.I women’s mini marathon on June 3rd your training should be at a good level at this stage.
I would recommend running 5km early in the week and a 5km session at race pace during the weekend. […]
New Year New You
With less than 3 weeks left in the year many people will be sitting back and taking stock of the year. Did they complete the challenges they set themselves, can they hit their target in the next couple of weeks? They might have a list of short, medium or long term goals drawn up for […]
Time to Take it Up a Notch.
Just when I was getting used to my training programme it was time to start some speed work.
Last nights session involved a 15 minute jog to the track, 5 x 5 minute plus 1 minute active recovery followed by 15 minute jog home.
It was good to see so many people using the track considering the […]
Dream Big
Last night was day 300 of my runstreak. Having mistimed dinner time for a 7.00 p.m. jog I made it out for 5 miles at 8.30 p.m.
My legs are still feeling fresh after all these miles. It might have something to do with the extra magnesium I have been taking.
I have signed up to marshal […]
Records are Made to be Broken.
Last week I travelled to Dublin to take part in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record.
1escape health club were hoping to get around 400 people to break the record for the largest fitball class.
I arrived up fairly early and after a short wait we were allowed in to the middle of Smithfield square […]
Lots Happening in the World of Running Lately
On April 2nd I ran my first parkrun 5km. I ran with Kitty from ‘On The Road Again’. She hadn’t been running for a while. I was just happy to get out for a run and see what the parkrun course was like. 105 people running 5km at 9:30 on a Saturday morning is a […]
The Numbers are Starting to Add Up
On Saturday I ran a 10km race in Castlerock just outside Coleraine.
This was my 144th race, 24th county I’ve run in and I hit the 400 mile mark for the year. I’ve never spent as much time looking at entering a race as I have with this 10km race, which I heard about on social media and I thought […]
Its Not Supposed to be Easy!!
A couple of weeks ago I received a text message from Paul who I’ve cycled with as part of Galway Visually Impaired Activity Club. The Galway Blue Challenge is on at the end of May and the chosen charity is “Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind”.
The challenge involves cycling from Salthill to Croagh Patrick via […]
Another Milestone
I’ve been putting in the miles over the past couple of days and I hit the 300 mile mark yesterday afternoon – so taking it easy for the next two days as I have my first half marathon of the year on Saturday morning in Kinvara.
Earlier in the week I went out to Sean in […]
