Two weeks till the Prague Half Marathon

My SuperHalfs race 4

I am still recovering after my EDP Lisbon Half Marathon to prepare for the Prague Half Marathon, my fourth SuperHalfs race.

I collected the three stamps in Lisbon and plan to have a similar poster with “MY FOURTH SUPERRACE!” and the Prague stamp.

So far, Garmin is very optimistic; the estimated time for Prague is 1:44:25, which would be a PB for me.

Unfortunately, I will travel to California, and that will prevent me from proper training, but my coach asked me to do three sessions for next week.

Tuesday: 3k warmup, 3k fartlek, 3k cooldown, with the fartlek sprinting every other 100m.

Thursday: 2k warmup, 5k Tempo below my half marathon pace, 2k recovery.

Friday/Saturday: a long slow distance of 15k. That will keep me in shape, and I plan on doing this plan. I will be on a 10h difference timezone, which will make things more difficult, but I’ll manage it somehow.

I’ve got my race number today, 3535, hard to remember :) and I am starting to get the vibe. I just received an email from RunCzech, bridges ahead!

One bridge was enough in Lisbon, Prague will be a challenge!

In the meanwhile, I also got the stamp on my superhalfs passport.

I did Berlin in 2023 but it doesn’t count

See you in Prague!
