1/2-hour run Zwickau (5th run of the series): 9050m (1st place)

September 9, 2009

When I’m in Zwickau and a running competition takes place at the same time, I’m almost obligated to take part This wednesday was the last (5th) leg of a series of half- and full-hour runs. I already competed in the 3rd run and also this time I ran the 1/2-hour race.

While I was running 9.350m in the last race, this time I collected “only” 9.050m. The conditions today were not as good as last time. In temperatures above 25°C I don’t feel so comfortable and thus I can be satisfied. Furthermore the marathon is only ten days away and there is no use in pushing too hard at this time of the preparation. After all I ran the marathon-pace for 30minutes without any problems and all on my own from the first round onwards.

Here some pics:

very sunny and warm conditions on the track

marathon stride – almost no knee lift, but who needs a knee lift for 42,195km
