UPDATED TODAY ! The last few days have been going well with regards to running. I’ve had some good and some bad days over the last few weeks, but most days have been good.

I ran 8 miles with Sean on Friday and that’s the furthest I’ve gone since my operation, so I was really happy with that. I’m gonna try and get up towards 50 miles per week over the next month but I’m finding when I go over 40 miles my body doesn’t like it! Its crazy to think that in the past I have ran 3 times that in a week and now I’m struggling with 40, but I suppose my body is just trying to adapt again. I can’t get greedy with the miles or impatient. Just have to keep at it and hope things get better over time. The rehab I’ve been doing the last week seems to be helping so I’m not going to neglect that side of things again.
I wasn’t going to mention Liverpool FC in this post but I kind of feel like I have to vent my frustration. No need to go into the details because everybody knows how shocking they are at the moment. A few weeks ago I thinking things couldn’t get any worse as we were 2nd from bottom in the league. Then they started to get their act together and move up the league with 3 games without a loss including a win against Chelsea…then we played Wigan and Stoke….typical Liverpool is all I’ll say!! Is it the management? The players? The general atmosphere at Anfield? Who knows? I’m delighted that Gillett and Hicks are gone and hopefully Henry can pump a bit of money into the club andturn things around. It takes time I suppose. West Ham next week…if we lose to them, well, lets not contemplate that!
Yesterday I spent the day down in Nenagh coaching and talking to Pulse Triathlon Club at their winter training weekend. I really enjoyed it and it really hit home how hard those guys train. I showed them some dynamic drills, some mobility exercises, some dynamic stretches and then I put them through their paces on the track for an 8 x 3 minute interval session. The recovery was 2 minutes, so their total time for the session was 40 minutes.
Usually that would be enough for me to do in one day but they then did a bike session a few hours later and then a pool session after that! Sebastian Locteau is coaching a lot of the athletes in the club. He also manages the website www.runireland.com – check it out if you don’t know it already.
