Back on Track!
Just ran my longest run of the challenge yet. An non stop 27km (17 miles) and feeling great about the 20 miler in Athlone in 2 weeks time… and the marathon in 5 weeks. That week of rest seems to have worked.
Saturday’s Half Marathon
Absolutely gutted to say that I have picked up an niggle to my left calf muscle and knee. On the advice of my physio I am unable to run this Saturday morning’s Half Marathon in the Phoenix Park.
The annoying part, as you can see from the report below from my running app, is that I have ran half Marathon distances for the last 2 Saturdays and was looking forward to this Saturday’s run.
Anyway, slights set firmly now on recovery and fitness for the next race, the 20 miler in Athlone in 3 weeks time.
Half Marathon This Saturday – Route Change
Race 4 of my challenge.
Slight Route change: The route for this Saturday mornings half marathon in Pheonix Park has been changed slightly by the organisers. You can see the up to date route here
5 Thousand Euro For The Irish Cancer Society So Far
Today is a big big day in my challenge. 2 months in and we’ve hit 5 thousand euro for The Irish Cancer Society. Thank you so so much to everyone who’s donated so far. I am training 4 to 5 days a week, and over half way through now, this is truly brilliant great motivation for me to keep going.
To run the following 6 races and raise money for the Irish Cancer Society in memory of Paddy Supple
