Do Prahy som pricestoval plný nedôvery v samého seba: celý týždeň som sa necítil vo forme, navyše moje bežecké sebavedomie značne podkopalo i predzávodné znižovanie intenzity a objemov. Expectations were pessimistic, but reality Prague with morning temperatures around 1 ° C was still drstnejšia. I had two days of conditioning and the majority of brain power took the question what to wear? At the start of the Prague Marathon in Stromovka I left reconciled with the fact that I will run in two shirts, long sleeve jacket in combination with the wind. I did not believe his eyes when the other guys in the locker room pripínali starting number directly on the shirt. While I have considered them a bad turn and I was left numb crowd - well I did. In another case, I threatened to severe dehydration and even sunburn. Not that the weather has changed, but the average heart rate 180bpm, my 88% maximum, can produce enough heat. At the end more than I would have liked. Handy fell even sponge with water, to which I originally vypliešťal eyes in disbelief.
subjective assessment of the race is rather negative. I was perhaps guilty of any fundamental errors, usually preceded by marathon Omladina forewarned: I burn rate, competed with others, power-power to hold fast the group, ignoring pulse, blindly trusting data from GPS, ate and drank by feeling. Thanks mentioned shit I managed something with which I really did not foresee: improving personal highs of more than 34 minutes, time 3:21:56 . Over the years, so unexpected, that I have neither the target photo. My maid of the photographer is the destination arrived sometime around 3:23:)
welcome the extraordinary race through the prism of emotion. Finally marathon gave me what he promised and at the first attempt failed. Stress, fear, flushing, euphoria, goosebumps, the need to delete everything, Butt, and blurred glares ahead and concentrate on a single target. At the finish I was so moved that I almost dropped a tear.
pleasant and less pleasant phenomenon continued even after returning to base camp. This was less pleasant walking four in an effort to find some support, which helped me to bring back to Council Anthropoid, thus the two legs. Conversely nice was that I did not rate so highly neprepálil. Half a 1:40:40 (4:46 / km), second in 1:41:16 (4:48 / km).
After the first marathon I have included ďakovačku and despite this achievement when I feel a certain awkwardness, and do so now. Thank you my dear readers, just because you were the main driver in the time when I wanted to because of physical or motivational reasons pack and run it just for pleasure . Plus I add one more special thank you - it belongs to Miss reader from Prague, not only for providing the base camp:)
It is too early to grandiloquent statements, but may be this series a couple of months will bring a second set of revised entitled "Marathon under 3:15":)))
Marathon Five
I have long nurtured hope in themselves to time under 3:20, which I rushed forward. The sobering fact is given directly to the GPS measurement deviation was more than 500 meters. According to GPS, but I finished the marathon in 3:19 and some change:)
