Running a timed mile, “provides a reality check on your current goals, helps you determine a safe long run pace, and gives you a tangible way to track your progress during the season. Plus, it’s relatively easy to do and doesn’t require days of recovery.”
With that in mind we’d a number of our own crew who took on the paced mile in Santry last Wednesday night.
Fastest time on the night was that of Owen Fletcher with a flying 5:02! Next fastest was Michael Cornyn in a time of 5:43 – a nice time as he eyes up the National Indoors. Paul O’Donnell, normally a marathon man took on the shorter distance and ran 5:57, just under his 6 min goal. Geoff Hamilton clocked a 6:20, slightly ahead of 6:30 target. Returning to racing this winter was Anne Marie Sheehan and she clocked 7:40 on the night and in the busiest race of the night new F4L’r Mel D’Arcy ran an impressive 8:34!
Well done folks, nice to see the Club represented in such numbers at this excellent event.
