Yesterday was the last day of my training plan and therefore the first half-marathon in 2021. I eventually ran the 21.1 km in sub 2-hours and I’m super happy with that!
It was quite hard to achieve this time as I enjoyed life the last days (read: drinking beer) and the weather was almost too warm with around 22°C. Also, I didn’t know the route too well and therefore had to run back and forth a few times to get to my needed distance.
- Distance: 21.1 km (half-marathon obviously)
- Time: 1:59:53 (~4 min faster than my best half-marathon in 2020 with 2:03:45)
- Avg Pace: 5:41 min/km
- Best Pace: 4:29 min/km
- Avg Speed: 10.6 km/h
- Max Speed: 13.4 km/h
However, I made it and I’m confident that the next time it will be either slightly faster or at least easier to reach the sub 2-hour mark.
As you see in the average lap pace chart I had to increase my pace significantly at the end as I started too slow.
