Hi all

I'm planing to start running up on Mount Leinster and some other hills Slieve Bhui etc. once a week, if any body is interested in joining me. It's really not as tough as you'd think and the views on the way up are something else.
For a little bit of pain you get rewarded with:
1. Great views
2. Build hugh strength in your legs and lungs
3. The giddy, joyous feeling of bombing down a hill at break neck speed
That last point should appeal to all of our crazy mtb members
This week I'm going to head up on Friday evening around 6 but am flexible so let me know if a different time would suit. Where the run starts is about 6 miles from Bunclody on the Kiltealy road.
All you will need is your normal running gear, some ropes ,only joking and a bottle of water.
Hope to see some of you there.

Tom

I wouldn't mind giving that a go, as they say I wont knock it till I've tried it, only thing is Friday wont suit Thursday any good and how long will it take me and please bear in mind my lack of running ability

can we have a race?? downhill of course. I would be on my bike needless to say

having done that route - in reverse - the last two weekends I can echo what Tom says about the beautiful views

might join you on the bike if i can get a pass

you could run the South Leinster Way with us, now that would be something...

when I saw Hill Runs I instantly thought of those winter nights in the golf club .
what would the distance be I wonder depending on your answer David and I can battle it out for the pass

Here you go Joy

what about the last 4m?

So
After discussions at the TT tonight we are heading up for the Run (for everyone other than Tom I use the term "run" loosely what I mean is something resembling an ironman shuffle becoming a crawl as we near the summit) meeting at 5pm tomorrow Thursday.
everyone ok with that?

Report from the assault on the summit
great sence of achievement at the top. i never thought it was possible to run a 9 minute km would have to agree that it's great training roll on next week!!

now that we have heard from the student, can we hear from the master please

By the way I'm not the master Are ye still going for Thursday nights for the hill training. I'd love to do these but Thursdays don't suit
