Amsterdam Marathon
I returned to Amsterdam after running this last year : I had worked out that the right strategy would be start the first half at 5min 30secs pace and then push to 5min 20secs pace in the second half. I was having doubts about this thinking that it was overly optimistic,
It was cool, a little breezy and raining at the start, but that eased soon after. I decided to ‘go for it’ and follow the plan. It worked !! I ran my fastest Marathon since 2019 but also with the second half marathon being 4 mins faster than the first, and the last 10km also the fastest.
I also came second in my Age Group with a time of 3h 47m 47s.
