I used play a bit of tennis, and my brother hammered me in a match and I decided I needed to get fit so I started running, and I was hooked!! .<\/p>\n
It was a 4mile race in Ennis. I saw it in the paper and thought \u201cwhy not\u201d. It was on in September and started at 7.30, and I was lapped by EVERYONE in the race and it was dark when I finished, but I was delighted!!!<\/p>\n
I\u00a0ran a \u201cMunster B\u201d cross country race in Kilmallock and I was 2nd last, one of my favourite medals actually.<\/p>\n
I have a 10mile loop around Clarecastle\/Ballea which I really like. Coole park is also a fantastic place to run as well.<\/p>\n
1mile: 4.42 3k: 9.11 5k: 15.46 8k: 26.17 10k: 32.29<\/p>\n
I train twice a day, 6 days a week. So morning sets are either easy recovery runs, gym or pool sets. My runs in the evening are longer. I would do 2-3 speed sets a week, 3 by 3k or a pyramid set like 400\/600\/800\/ 1k by 3 which is really nice And a long run of 15miles or so on a sunday.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a tie between ANY \u201ceasy run\u201d I have to do or the 3 by 3k set. I\u2019ll go for the 3 by 3k set. Its not easy but as Mairtin Grealish said \u201c do you want to be the best or do you kinda wanna be the best\u201d<\/p>\n
I can\u2019nt decide between three. Either my run in the Clare Senior in 06, when I went from 12th to 9th on the last lap, and we won \u201cTHE SENIOR\u201d (the team ) by a point! The 5k in Santry where I ran my current 5k P.B. and when I won the Calcutta Cup for the first time in 2012. All good days.<\/p>\n
Oh God!! There has been so many it\u2019s hard to pinpoint one. The thing about running is there tend to be more bad than good, but when you have a good day you forget about the rest!!<\/p>\n
No comment!!<\/p>\n
