Training - half a marathon; going CPC
Running the full marathon is not an easy task, and training is a vital part of it.
While one could technically run a marathon untrained..... well, we know what happened to the original marathon runner*, so do not try it
The CPC-half marathon in The Hague is a nice training, and I highly recommend it as a stepping stone.
The crowd is busy, which will help you build mental fortitude.
This is needed for if the going gets tough and the crowd wild.
21 km in 2 hours.
It was a nice run, although I should work on my speed...
But that is the next challenge.
Take care, Niels
