I travelled to Tipperary yesterday to take part in The Moyne AC summer games and competed in the opening event at 3000m. It was a nice challenge and definitely a run out of my comfort zone. Thank you to @moyneac for the opportunity to take part in what turned out to be a great day. #WilsonsImprovingPerformance #MoyneACSummerGames @trimathleticclub #TrimAthleticClub Photo credit: Niall Moran Photography (at Moyne, Tipperary, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHJcBAgJLW/?igshid=q156zrfrxkvd

So racing was back yesterday evening and it felt so good to be back at it. The event was organised by Popupraces and it was a field of 40 in groups of 4 with 30 seconds staggered starts. We were all met in Donadea beforehand and had to walk though a sanitising machine and it all went really well. Everything went off so well and I had a great run in an official time of 16:40 so I am really over the moon with that. The plan now as far as I am aware is to get more races like this going soon in a closed environment so we can all get back to racing again. Thank to you to all who organised and ran the event and for the invite to represent myself and my club. And to my coaches Ian & Teresa Wilson for being there to encourage and push us all on last night. #WilsonsImprovingPerformance #PopUpRaces #TrimAC #TrimAthleticClub #IrishAthletics (at Donadea, Kildare, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBPyZWhghSg/?igshid=1xtjx34bdd1lh

Got out today for a time trial with some of my WIP group mates and we all had a great day. Social distance was strictly adhered to with 30 second start gaps between each of us. There were some great times and I managed a 30 second PB #WilsonsImprovingPerformance #TimeTrial #TrimAC #DunboyneAC (at County Meath) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-A9RJYA3Lb/?igshid=1i44x2y4c92ai

Trim 10 mile yesterday, a massive PB and a huge milestone of 60 minutes broken in an official time of 59:39. Tough wind in the second half of the race and I had to dig in really hard from 8 miles on to the finish. #WilsonsImprovingPerformance #NallysSVTrim10Mile (at Trim) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8GcQupAIc7/?igshid=suplzyv88sq

I started the day off at the Charlie Curran memorial 5 mile and paced the 45 minute group to a 44:58 and then headed off to one of my favourite races of the year the Axa Raheny 5 mile and ran a 3 minute PB time of 28:35. The last 6 months working with Ian & Teresa Wilson has taken my running to a whole new level and I'm going to enjoy the ride. Last year in Raheny I averaged 6:21/mile average and today I covered the same distance in 5:43/mile. Roll on next weeks 10 mile race. The sky's the limit. #ThinkBelieveAcheive #WilsonsImprovingPerformance #AxaRaheny5Mile #CharlieCurran5Mile (at Trim) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7y9olqgY_T/?igshid=1r8ks5e7pkigh
