Back to Galway

Today I was down for an easy hour plus run. I decided on 10 miles and the legs felt surprisingly fresh - the only explanation I can give is that I'd spent some time messing around in the pool with the kids after yesteday's run, plus this morning before we left Clane. Perhaps it helped to flush out the legs?

All up 16kms in 1:06:17 (4:09's). If only all runs felt as good as this one...

Really enjoy your blog. What is the limit of alcohol consumption per week for a very average runner whose goal is sub 3.50 in Dublin marathon. ( Guinness)

Let's put it this way....alcohol consumption won't be a significant factor in getting a sub 3:50 marathon. Just go out and do some training if you REALLY want to go sub 3:50! 8:46 miling is very very slow....

Con, thanks for your feedback. It's a difficult question to answer. A few beers here and there won't set you back (in my opinion). It's the big sessions that do the damage and should probably be avoided when you are in proper training. Set yourself a limit per night and stick to it! No more than 10!
