Just a quick update- I am back training and have completed a 5 mile race in 39 minutes some weeks back in the phoenix park. The 10 mile race is up weekend after this. Hoping to get some good fast times and really run the marathon instead of just completing it like last year. No target time yet but looking at 4 hours, instead of 4.5 last year. That's a minute faster per mile or so which is a big ask.
My training is starting to ramp up now, thankfully I am injury free and during the summer my tag rugby team, The Taguars won our summer league and competed in the All Ireland tag blitz which was great.
The longest run so far is about 10 miles in training, I am still playing 7 a side soccer and Gillian accompanies me now most evenings on her bike. I am feeling a lot stronger and every week doing the 300 challenge. Its quite simple - Pull ups on a bar, Push ups and a 3 mile run. Total points possible 300. Pull ups, no stopping = 5 points, push ups, good form no stopping = 2 points and 3 miles in 18 mins 100 points. Every 10 sec outside, deduct 1 point.
Week 1 Pull ups = 9 Push ups = 25 Run = 58 points TOTAL = 157
Week 2 Pull ups = 12 Push ups = 30 Run = 77 points TOTAL = 197
