This is the first night I got to use the Garmin 310xt on an actual hill run. We visited Tountina, near Ballina in Co. Tip. This was a great night for a run. Clear blue sky, a light breeze, dry and plenty of runners. Easly 30 people turned up, which is great.
Tonight just over 7km took me, just over 35minutes, I was "To the pin of my collar" as they say and only a running buddy Owen kept the push on, I wouldn't have got near the 35mins..

OMG, June is gone!
It's been a busy June and my updating of the active log has fallen behind. Rest assured I have been training away but not as much as desired. My mileage has half but I have worked a bit on speed and style.
Just received my new Forerunner 310xt, so now the mapping issues with goggle will be a thing of the past. Below are my first 2 outings with the 310 and I have to say it's a nice piece of kit. Very easy to use, light as a feather and swaps between wrist and the bike in a heartbeat.
Just one week from the Ring of Kerry cycle. See link below for details;
http://www.ringofkerrycycle.ie
This will be a not so easy 112 mile / 180km cycle through the mountain roads around Kerry. Can't wait. When finished I'll upload the route, with some pics. This will not be a race but a "leisure cycle" with my wife. Below you can see our last training cycle, 60km around Limerick.

Wednesday hill run: Keeper hill 14km
Tonight's hill run went well. 66 minutes for the 14 km.
Great feeling running into the low lying cloud. It really helped with the cooling down. Again a big turn out with over 40 people taking part. This evening I used a run walk approach. Not exactly 5 to 1 but something near this depending on the incline. I managed to take lots of time of my last recorded run up Keeper using this run walk style. This could also be related to the fact I had some competition tonight, who knows.
No pictures this evening from the top as the cloud that cooled me down also totally blocked all views. Mental note, you can't have it all ways.
I've included below the IMRA page on Keeper hill as per usual if anyone is interested in trying it out themselves.

Tuesday 3km: Clare Glens trail run
Just completed a short 3km run this evening as I have Keeper hill tomorrow evening with the hill running group. Today was a very grey day. Not warn at all and not great for running through the Clare glens. In the same conditions last year a badly went over on my angle. This took 6 weeks to recover and really effected by Gaelforce West training.
In short be carefull running trails in low light conditions at any speed.
If you are interested in more information on the run follow the link > Clare Glens Information
For all you Google mad people here's the Google maps of the Clare Glens
