Friday I will run a half marathon so today the coach gave me a track training to run a bit faster then the projected half marathon pace. My times on the 2 000 meters: 5'53"; 6'00"; 5'59"; 5'58" . There will be a stiff competition in my first race after the marathon of Eindhoven. The Kenyan runner Alfred Cherop is the big favorite (1h 01' half marathon PB Nancy 2011 below nr. 1001). So this race will be a good indication of my shape, in training everything is going according to plan. Greetings Lander
Geoffrey Mutai (KEN) crushed the strong opposition in the New York marathon. 2 h 05' 05" on the New York course. No more comment is needed. But I was even more overcome by Mary Keitany (KEN), she ran this race without any limited thoughts. In New York she didn't take the victory because she paid for her gutsy tacticts but for me she's the best female marathoner ever. I promise you: one day she will not crash but surprise the world instead. Greetings Lander. In one of our favorite places = the forest. Good for 33 km pleasure at 3'51"/ km. Below a photo impression. Greetings Jasper and Lander. I started the workout tired and my legs were completely death at the end.
The training consisted of:
Who is King Kong? The nickname of Vital Gahungu (for the record: he has chosen this name itself). Goodbye Lander So it will be fun, the intensity goes up. On thursday a long interval training run 3 times 6 km. I will post the details (pace and heart rate) of this training afterwards. Normally Vital will join me during this workout, in Kenya the training groups are a little bit bigger. To prove this: you can view the inspirational movie below. My favorite part starts at 9'12". (source: guys from www.letsrun.com) During this winter Henri will continue to give me marathon specific workouts mixed with fast short workouts but less competitions. My next races will be the half marathon in Ploegsteert and the galarun Warandeloop (NL 10 km XC). Greetings Lander |
