I could get away with it up to 5 miles but the HM is a different matter!!<br /><br />Today's easy-tempo progression 7mile run (7:08 - 6:35) 158bpm certainly helped put things back on track!! :)briceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537061506035169437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556096885175764062.post-29700983024990288112009-09-14T22:22:19.400+01:002009-09-14T22:22:19.400+01:00Thanks for the comment.

No doubt in a few days and you will be back to normal. Cork to Cobh next and that will be the marker.Paudiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394054536554506517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556096885175764062.post-15762309311851670022009-09-14T12:07:27.616+01:002009-09-14T12:07:27.616+01:00Apart from the 15 minutes separating us I had exac...Apart from the 15 minutes separating us I had exactly the same experience. I have decided that I just don't do heat. That and a summer of muscle knots and a bit of whip lash from falling down the stairs last week (who would have thought your arms contribute so much to your pace?!) meant that from mile 9 I would have jumped in the ambulance that was loading up an Eagles AC guy with a sore knee. My conclusion is that mental fatigue is much harder to fight in the heat. I ran this race last year with less aerobic fitness and came in 11 - 12 minutes ahead of this years time. I am finally off to the physio for my quads.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739196746383254321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556096885175764062.post-35938310381628804622009-09-14T11:49:34.590+01:002009-09-14T11:49:34.590+01:00Sorry to hear that.

I reckon you were still suffering from last weeks illness as you form of late certainly indicates you have the endurance and we all know you have the speed. From what I heard the majority of runners were unhappy with their performance yesterday. It certainly was unseasonally warm. Chalk it down to experience.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.com
