Solo Run: May 2014
http://solorun.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 May 2014. In pursuit of the little yellow man. Don't worry, there's 29 running it altogether, so I won't be alone". That's what worries me, there's only 29 people in the whole country who think this is normal". Ou have 20 minutes to change your mind - i'll even drive you to Clonegal tomorrow to pick up your car". I had resisted the temptation to accept and am now standing with 28 other seasoned nutters, race organisers and assorted support crews. Route Up Around Mullacor (North to South).

Friday, 27 February 2015. A Runners Journey - Twelve Months On (Part One). A year on from my first steps as a "runner" seems like a fair point to review the last twelve months from. Prior to my new departure I had taken the wise yet long overdue decision to curtail many years of alcohol abuse and smoking. Going to the gym at my workplace gave me a focus for cleaner living. With the assistance of a well recommended personal trainer. The Operation Transformation 5km fun run in Glanmire seemed like an appro...

Solo Run: July 2015
http://solorun.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, 12 July 2015. It says something when the shortest of the three events I have signed up for this season is likely to be Ironman Wales in September. Of the other two the Belfast 24-hour is the longest. However when it comes to the toughest I'm. Marley Park - Crone Wood (Cut-Off 3 hours). The night is mild and relatively warm, perfect T-Shirt weather. With 2:27 on the watch I make my way into Crone Wood CP and as I have no drop bag to collect I carry on, once I have "checked in", passing Linda i...

Solo Run: January 2015
http://solorun.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 January 2015. Marathon Training Week 2 of 9. My 2 marathon training session consisted of an endurance speed session on Tuesday and a long run on Saturday - although the speed session is also pretty long. I'm not quite in the same shape as I was in 2013, partly due to the fact that I am about 2.5 kg heavier than I was then. So I know what I have to do. Week 2 of 9. Week 2 of 10. Session # 1 -. 4 mile warmup followed by 4 x 2 miles @ HM pace with 2 min active recoveries and 4 mile cooldown.

Sunday, 23 March 2014. Shortly after 8:30 on Saturday morning I arrived at Glencullen, in the foothills of the Dublin mountains, to sign up for the Wicklow Way Ultra, organised by the Irish Mountain Running Association. The race, starting at 9:30, was an out and back route, primarily along the Wicklow Way, from Glencullen to Ballinastoe, with the half (Wicklow Way Trail Race) starting in Ballinastoe at 12:00. About 100 of us in all headed off without much fanfare after the 9:30 "ready steady go! The watc...

Sunday, 29 December 2013. Carb Loading Ain't What It Used To Be. Through a link to "spring onions" - delighted to hear that my blog was reaching a wider audience - i'll have to post a few recipes. Mile 24 - Heading for home. My nutrition consisted of 2 x 750ml bottles of a carb drink (600 calories) and 2 x 200ml bottles of ensure meal replacement (300 calories) - less than a fifth of the calories I expected to burn - the other four fifths coming from my fuel tanks. Mile 32 - Nice morning for a run. 12 ma...

Sunday, 27 July 2014. I put the pen away and lie back enjoying the last few minutes of the evening sun,. I have plenty of time to sort it after the race starts. Sure what else will I be doing for the next 12 hours". For the first time since arriving shortly after four with Ani, Saran, their cousin Robert and his Dad Rob (the driver) my mind is calm. Everything is done - time to switch off the mental and turn on the physical. 65279;. Last Hour - Glasses on to check the scores on the doors. I am at the t...
