Went quite well. Clearly not back to top shape, felt like I was running well though.
Who knows, maybe the standard has gone up.
Seemed to have faded a bit towards the end.
In the pack, just about.
Impressive by Josh.

Running alright, but not anything special. Flowing alright in the forest at times, but had some issues too.
Didn't think small headtorch would matter today, however think large one may have helped actually.
Surprised by how slow this pace was - have just taken others' distance. But fair enough.
Impressive by roar.

Running warm up/down 4:50 [2] 1.0 km (4:50 / km)
I need these globes.
Strength and Conditioning 45:00 [3]
Decent session to do as I return to strength training. Strenuous, but not too tough.
Not quite as strong as Róis.
Running 53:51 [2] 10.11 km (5:19 / km)
Extension of the churchtown 7.5
Funny legs post-circuits.

Legs were heavy, and felt the last few days. Got tired on the roads home.
Slow & steady wins the race.

Legs feeling good.

Running warm up/down 13:17 [1] 2.13 km (6:15 / km)
Running 25:26 5.78 km (4:24 / km)
10 * [1min on, 1min off]
4 * 200m, walk back recovery.
Easier session than with Rathfarnham, but also appreciate it, the grass gives it that nice cross country feel.
Took the 1min off a bit too handy probably.
Cruised the session, was feeling good, and picked it up for the last 3 of the 1mins.
200 times: 30, 29, 31, 31
Running warm up/down 17:30 [1] 3.48 km (5:02 / km)

Running 1:04:59 [2] 13.51 km (4:49 / km)
Slightly more climb than usual.

Running warm up/down 18:00 [1] 3.0 km (6:00 / km)
Running 29:30 [5] 6.27 km (4:42 / km) +300m 3:48 / km
Wasn't feeling in top shape warming up, was worried about how I was going to be feeling out there.
Tried to relax on the uphills, but people were then streaming past me on the first climb, which wasn't confidence-inspiring. But, it worked out, and I was feeling strong on the fire-roads and built into it.
Saw Cillín, and Jonny ahead, and then Laurence and Haynesy, so I wasn't too worried about the slow start anymore.
Stayed relaxed / slow on the climbs, and strong / quick on the fire roads. Passed Cillín and Angus just before the final climb, but they both past me at the start of the climb. Caught Angus again halfway up, and caught Cillín on the descent. Nipped by Jonny too - momentum was on my side.
Happy with the way it worked out, still a good bit behind the other 2, but better than Howth.
