PROJECT NM: Half marathon
Æææææ , even more NM!
Since I think NM was so nice, I continue just as well within the genre, me. It turns out that the Oslo Marathon is arranging the National Championships in a half marathon on 19 September, and yesterday I signed up.
In a way, the project was created on the car trip between Stavanger and Haugesund on the way to the NM in athletics two weeks ago. The running talk was well underway in the back seat, and I happened to mention that I might be considering the Copenhagen half marathon. Now there was a bit of noise from the back seat , said Jack Waitz. And I just æææææææ, have I chatted too much? I? Hæææ? Hardly. This is just warm-up talk , I thought. Hehehe .
But there was nothing wrong with either the chatter level or the intensity. Pooh!
But one thing that was certain was that I had chosen the wrong city over the word half marathon. It was Oslo that mattered, I had to understand. Could not help but agree, even though Copenhagen is a bit flatter and it abounds with a bunch of restaurants and shops I more than would have liked to have stopped by. Stena Line has to wait, say!
I have only run a half marathon twice before.
Once in Oslo and once in Berlin.
Stats:
Oslo Half Marathon 2010: 1:37:37
Berlin Half Marathon 2014: 1:24:13
I do not have a set training plan or any tactics yet, so I have to figure it out ASAP. The only thing I know for sure, and which I learned after Berlin, was that more running is not always for the better, because then you may have to jump up Ekebergåsen with moonboot and crutches.
Today's tip: Exercise smartly and do not overdo it.
Will be back with updates on the project immediately.
