Hi .... just another marathon weekend is now creeping in under your skin.
What is so special with Stockholm marathon ? Tradition, > 20 000 participants, the beautiful track...
Actually I dont know ?
It's totally wrong time (a lot of other things going on this week), not that long (only 42,2km), so crowded first 10km that you have to be very focused not to get hurt........
Anyway I will run and do my very best....
I will not give you any time-estimates on June/July LR,s (the weather decides it all for me).
But I will;
1) not let my HR step over 150 bpm (85% of HR-max) before 21,2km
2) take it extremely slow up on Västerbron & Torsgatan (you get it all back downhill, that's one thing I've finally learned)
Good luck to Mylay & David, (& El Maco if you start, but I hope you do not).
Mr 3.19.57 = DNS, a very wise decision.
Mr L :-)

Thanks W, I will try my very best to stay calm first 21,1 km.....
SvaraRaderaGood Luck!!!!
SvaraRaderaLooking forward to seeing the report tomorrow!
Would be really cool to see negative splits!
Thanks US Coach ! I will at least try to open slower than I have ever done in Stockholm before. I noticed that in Rome last year I was so focused just to fulfill the race (when traveled so far together with my family, not to make them disappointed), that I started up in 5,50 - 6,00 tempo first km,s. I will try to repeat that (Ok, Rome was a flat track but anyway)...
SvaraRaderaPlease give us an update on your Portland preparations right now. How are thing going ?
What are the distance & LR plans ?
