| On my second marathon I cut about a half hour off my time, but still had a feeling that I could do it even better. Because on the first 30 kms I was heading for a finishing time of 3:04, but when I crossed the finish line I actually had lost ten minutes. But I knew that I ought to be okay for a finishing time around 3:05, so I should introduce some more preparation with long runs about 20-30 kms, but not longer, as it probably would not become productive on the long run, thinking of the risk of injures. And since I felt good with doing these long runs in the winter season I figured that my next marathon should take place in the spring season. Therefore I on 29.03.1992 followed the other Sparta runners to Paris Marathon. |
