Running Time

Yesterday I ran the Warsaw Half-Marathon (21km) with time 2:00:58 (two hours and one minute). It was a very nice event, the weather was great (in fact I’ve got a bit sun-burnt during the run) and the running was not painful, quite the opposite. I improved my time from last year’s half-marathon with about 9 minutes.

What was particular this time was that I trained… almost not at all. All my training this year was one 10km run and one 9km run (the reason being that the weather was rather cold this spring, while I enjoy running above 10 Celsius; not to exclude pure laziness though).

Given my lack of training, I was afraid I won’t be able to even finish it — it’d be enough to run a bit too fast in the beginning, and I’d be dead at 15km. But everything went well, I could maintain an even rhythm all along, running with about 10km/h without any breaks. I didn’t notice the two hours going by, it seemed as if it were a mere 15minutes. And the weather was great.
