I knew he was training with Wayde van Niekerk in SA, the question is did he know the people he rented the house too were involved in that carry on?.

If you follow him on SM, he doesn't seem the type.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Watched a documentary on Sky over the weekend called Nike's Big Bet. Most of it going through the Salazar story. Interesting stuff, showing how he was always pushing things, both medically with performance enhancing drugs (legal and not so legal) and equipment (fancy new shoes). Interesting watch for anyone who's into running.  As with all professional athletes, the lifestyle/diet looks horrendous.

He’s spent a lot of time training in SA and other places. Surprised to see this come out, AAI deserve a lot of credit for selecting him too.

I’m not a serious runner by any means - I do three 5ks a week purely for weight management and to try and maintain some form of fitness as I’ve stopped playing football competitively now - but... I find it great to get the run done and dusted first thing in the morning before work.
Usually around 7 or 7:30am in my case.
It has the added bonus for me of not having to worry about timing my food intake which was a pain when running later in the day.
I have my breakfast after the run.
But as I said my mileage isn’t high so maybe that wouldn’t work so well for longer distances.

I ran from mine in Rathfarnham to a friend's house in Tallaght which was 10km. I'd dropped in some drinks to him the day before so I did 3 10km loopsaround Tallaght, so people were in his garden to cheer me on each lap which really helped. 
Hopefully Dublin will go ahead with competitors and spectators.

Legs were f*cked but I slowly went on and definitely would have given up if I didn't have the help. 
Ended up doing it in 4.21 which I'm pretty happy with. My pacing was supposed to be 4.13 but considering the leg issues I'm still happy enough. 
Think I drank well and ate well so I don't know how I can do it again without the feeling that my calf is going to tear. 
Not sure if it's silly or optimistic to think that this years Dublin marathon I could get under 4 hours. 


You can get a heal raise which will alleviate the pressure on your calf. I'd only use it for the marathon though.

I aim to get up and run before work a couple of times a week but in reality it probably only happens one or twice a month at best. It does set you up for the day but I find my pace is always a bit slower in the mornings, don't know if that's down to a hydration issue or what the cause is.

Fair play TWC, keep at it. It's all about developing the habit of exercising, the results will come in time.

started a couple of weeks ago and up to 15 90 seconds running and 30 second break intervals, hate it and I’m barely able to get through it at all but it’s the first time in 2 or 3 years I’ve exercised so trying to stick at it. Have it in my head to get up at 7 or 8 for one but find I’ve gotten fairly lazy with this working from home stuff and I never get up for it.

I've been going in the evenings. Sleep a lot better after proper exercise in the evening. Unfortunately can't do road running everyday as finds it makes my knee swell. Anyone find the same?

I do it at 8:30 a bit, drop the kids to the creche, and then run before work. Tougher to get going, and obviously a lot colder but you do feel great after it
