It was a week of decreasing mileage, but increasing speed. I am not really sure if this kind of training was adequate. Maybe the speedy and very hilly run today was a bit too much of strain. I will have to concentrate on getting totally relaxed until Saturday's Stockholm Marathon.
To reach my target (3:39) it will have to be a day of perfect conditions. Which means low temperature on race day but also a relaxed mental attitude. Two things one cannot control at will.
Yesterday I watched a cityrun at Herdecke on the Ruhr and took more than 800 photos which I published on my website. However, the most appalling moment happened when a runner collapsed just 20 meters in front of the finish line and 3 meters in front of me. I just managed to catch him before falling backwards onto the cobbled street. Usually I take reported fatalities fairly easy as I am aware that people have fatalities somewhere every second in every kind of circumstances. But I have to admit it is a very different thing when such a thing happens under your eyes. I still have the experience very present inside me. - The runner was brought to the local hospital, he had regained consciousness so I think he is okay. I checked the local newspaper but nothing was mentioned.
To come to different thoughts have a look at the photos I like most: Youngest athletes before the children's race.
