2,5 k warm-up

Westspangenlauf-Half Marathon in 1:29:14 hrs. Plan was to run sub 1:30, so 3:15 hrs in 3 weeks for the Frankfurt-Marathon should be realistic. Ran with an 64 old runner who also ran sub 1:30, amazing! Practiced a lot with nutrition, shoes and drinking in the race. Therefore it was a great test! Perfect weather conditions (57 degress, sunshine and a little wind) and only a few parts that were harder to run: 2 bridges and one turning point. But, I felt that I did (for me) a lot of mileage the last months and weeks. The last 4 miles my legs really hurt a lot...not bad for the first half marathon in 10 years!

5k-splits:

21:00

21:16 (10k 42:16)

21:08 (15k 63:24)

21:11 (20k 1:24:35, 2nd 10k 42:19)

3 k cool-down on angry legs...
