A strong performance yesterday at the half-marathon in Wildon confirmed that I have overcome, and hopefully left behind for good, a difficult period characterised by exhaustion, injury and pain.
I completed 21.1 ks in 1:20:16 hrs, 3:48 min/km, 15.77 km/h, ranking 18th overall and 6th in my age group.
We had to cover a difficult course with some challenging climbs and about 2 ks on gravel. Still with temperatures as low as 9 °C, the weather proved to be ideal for running. It was a record day in general. The winner, Martin Milleder, set a new course record in smashing 1:09:59 hrs .

Congratulations go out to my fellow runners from the Stefflhofhof team, Jörg and Christian
. Jörg finished 2nd in 1:13:39 hrs and Christian became 4th in 1:15:00

. Both excellent performances. Well done, boys.

It is day 3 after the marathon and I am slowly recovering from the strenuous run on Sunday . My muscles have suffered especially from the last six kilometers, which I covered with the 11th fastest time overall. Only a few pro runners were faster.. . (+ more pics) (more…)

I have posted photos from the marathon on Flickr.

Obviously, this was a good day . Of course, I am really happy with my performance but what was really great was the support and incredible response from my friends. I received so many calls and sms. This means a lot to me.
Simone called from Melbourne, John phoned me from Rome, Erwin and Christian congratulated, the Eichkitz family wrote a breakfast SMS, Klaus called, Martin smsed me. That’s only a few . Thank you to all.

A big, big thank you goes to Maria (Martin’s partner) for taking photos and Martin (Hackl) for riding along with his bike and supplying me with drinks and gel . Without him, I doubt whether this would have been possible. Thanks Georg for your fantastic training plans and your pro advise. Your tips are invaluable. Last not least, I’d like to thank Sylvia for her understanding and patience while I am out there running. I love you, Stadtkatze!

It is getting exciting . Only one day left until Sunday morning. So what is going on in these last moments before a marathon? Here are some ancedodes and tipps for the frequent runnner. Running programme in the last week On Monday, I did my last test run over 10 ks at my marathon speed and heart rate . I covered the quarter marathon in 40:59 minutes at an average speed of 4:08 min/km and an average HR of 157 bpm. It was a good last test although I had my doubts since my HR went up over 160 on the last few kilometers, which Georg, my coach, dismissed by acknowledging a superb test run. The rest of the week was like a holiday: (more…)
