Midwinter marathon Apeldoorn Netherlands

Posted by Albert Posthumus on February 2, 2014 at 1:11pm
Little bit disappointed about my marathon today.
Two years ago 3.45 with temp.  below zero.
Today 4.23. temp above zero 5 degrees Celsius. Till 30 k. same pace as two years ago.
 After 30 k. I think because I didn't drink enough water, there was still energy, but lot of cramps in the muscles of my legs. So running/walking. Good lesson for the future.
So this was my last race in the old B2R roadshoes, not my last marathon.

    Albert, I feel for you-it is a lonely race in the woods-ran it the year the prince married Maxima and got in the wrong lane (for the 30K race) midway and had to come back-so I missed 3hrs by 17seconds and threw up badly at the finish because of the sports drink they served.

    Yesterday a trailtraining, very muddy and wet but with a slow pace. Distance 12k.
    For other marathons I do take more days rest, the week before.
    chia seeds plus juice and bananas for breakfast. I still think its because of less drinking water. 2 years ago heel striking, now since one year forfootstrike.

    Albert, thanks for sharing. What did you do differently AND the same in training for this race compared to the last one?
