Paddy’s patter

Well, what a difference a couple of weeks can make.
Seeing so many of our iconic vests in competitive action has been amazing and some of the performances have been absolutely brilliant.
Long may it continue and to think that this is just the start of the season too.
Let’s make the most of every event and race – show them the true spirit of Green and Gold! 💚💛

Zones and Pacing

Here’s the science bit, all times below based on running at 8 mins per mile for a 10k. You may need to adjust the timings for your own individual pace.

Following feedback we’ve created a pace calculator to allow you to work out your target paces easily, just enter your target 10k time in the h:mm:ss format and let it do the hard work for you.
For example 45 minutes would be 0:45:00, 65 minutes would be 1:05:00
