I used to jog 8k Mon-Fri every most evenings for a few years with a mate but he then moved to Oz & was going out on my own . It wasn't the same and soon gave it up . This summer I have started doing it on my own & enjoying it again . If ye are jogging on the beach make sure its on the flat & not at a slope as it is very bad for the hips & will give you big problems in later years . I did 4.4k in 23mins with a very steep hill thrown into that distance so not a bad time & hope to wipe 4 mins of that before mid August

Completed 13k today, only 3k off the race in August, absolutely delighted to see the progress since I started in March. Just need to keep going and push myself as much as I can and I should be able for the 10miler.

Nike free are pretty good I find, felt a huge difference between then and the Adidas running ones I had before them

If you are going to be spending a decent wedge on a pair of running shoes,its a good idea to go to one of the specialist shops.
Amphibian King are supposed to be very good. |

10mile race in the Phoenix park tmw morning, anyone else entering it? Will be a good indicator to see where I'm at for the half marathon in a few weeks.
A huge turnout expected and good luck to anyone doing it. |

Cheers lads, completed it in 1:26 so was very happy with that, pace dropped considerably in the last 3k as it was uphill and a massive struggle!
Over 5k there and a great day to involved, roll on the half marathon on 19th sept 👍 |

Jaysus Hornet only seen your post now, 1:26 for a half marathon that's a serious pace!
2 weeks till the half marathon and feeling good about it, if I get under the 2hr mark I'll be happy enough just need to keep the training up between now and race day. |
