Well yes things are getting better, and I feel stronger.
This was a run down the bog road, and while the track out on this first 5km is good, it gets a little ropey on the way home.

10K Session 16: Wow breathing better at last
August 27th, 2011I’m going to count yesterdays walk up Croagh Patrick as Session 15. Anyway this time I finally found a quiet road, a couple of sharp inclines but nothing too bad and finally I think I managed to match my breathing with my running pace.

A view from Croagh Patrick, Westport, County Mayo, Ireland
August 26th, 2011No training session as such today, but a real mountainous walk up Croagh Patrick, Westport, County Mayo.
It took just over 3 hours to complete, but it was worth it.

10K Session 13: Mayo its mountainous
August 22nd, 2011Well I’ve missed a session but for good reason, I’ve spend the best part of 5 hours travelling from Kilkenny to Mayo as I had a short summer break with the family to Westport. But given I had started this training programme I have to continue in some way so here’s my first session in Mayo, and boy is this place mountainous.

Although straight after the run I must say I did feel good, as the foot is starting to hold up now for the full length of the session
