Today was the longest run for me before the Victoria 1/2. It's enough, but I wish I had built up to a longer distance, and held it for a while. Pesky injuries aside, which held me back a bit from a good distance build, I'm happy with where I'm at.
I ran to Wildwood and back, did a loop in Wildwood for a total of about 20K (that's 12.5 miles for my American fans). I felt good, running at probably ~4:45/k pace, and am overall fairly happy with my preparation for the 1/2 marathon in two weeks. I have a goal time, but I don't think I'll reveal it till after the race. All I'll say is that it is a PB, and barring bad conditions, anything less will be a bit of a disappointment.
Have a good week running all.......
Haile Gebrselassie won the 33rd real,- Berlin Marathon but he missed Paul Tergat's World Record once again over the difficult final stages. In warm conditions with temperatures climbing well over 20° Celsius (70° F.) two hours into the race, the 33-year-old Ethiopian clocked 2:05:56, the fastest in the world this year. Gebreselassie also improved his personal best and national record of 2:06:20 set a year ago in Amsterdam by 24 seconds.
