Helsinki city run
Well my blog seems to turn out to more and more a running blog. Well I'll try to change this habit after Stockholm marathon...
This weekend there was the HCR = Helsinki city run in Helsinki. My final (net) time was 1:46:14. My initial aim was to finish HCR with a pace faster than my marathon pace. My average pace at HCR was: 05:01 min/km. My goal for Stockholm marathon is 3:30:00 which means a pace of 4:59 min/km.
From here you can already see that I was supposed to run much faster at HCR. What was the reason for being not that successful? Well, the last 2-3 weeks I had been sick (having fewer and some infection) and this obviously still pulled my results down. At HCR already after 8 km my hearth beat started raising to ridiculous numbers with an average pace of 04:45 min/km. I had suddenly heartbeat of 170 hb/min which is way too high for me. At that pace I should have had HB around 150-160. I would guess that the high heartbeat was due to the fewer and decease I had had earlier. After 10-15km I wanted to fasten my pace but I couldn't as my HB was so high. And this was very funny as I didn't feel that tired. Even at the end of the run my legs were totally fine and I could have run faster. It was just the HB. Strange...
I hope that I will get fine before Stockholm. There I would need to run with the same pace for the whole marathon. That means that my HB can't be that high! Let's keep fingers crossed!
