First, singing together, swear to never walk alone. Then you switch #themostbeautiful in the heart rate. While the revolving blades are working overtime over your head and the top athletes are already making South unsafe, silence prevails on the Schiedamsedijk. A gun is aimed at an unprecedented height, you rise quickly after it. 42 kilometers and a little bit, it will take my time.

With just over a week to go before the #marathon which I use as a test run for Lisbon, but at the same time is very moving in my preparation, I would like to reread some research results to confirm and support. I can tell you from my own experience how switching to a - almost - plant-based diet improves your running results. The use of alcohol and the quality of your sleep are certainly factors you can take into account if you want to perform better. The proof that running slower makes you a faster runner has been sufficiently proven. Both in online articles and in person. Podcasts like #LoopPraat #RunningStories #DePacer and #SlimmerPresteren pay regular attention to this, each in their own and unique way.

Attentively, then I look back, critically too, on my own performance. The fact that my first kilometer is not a measure of the result of the entire training is an understatement. Half a minute out of 10 kilometers would be two in the marathon, so I'll make up for that difference. Nevertheless, with some slack in my training sessions, I am carefully trying to base my battle plan on this.

The mileage for the first training of this week is listed. With a slow start, marked by a turtle, from 5:46, I'll fly across the finish line like a hare with a final sprint of 4:35. An average of 5:12 over eleven kilometers. This is close to my target marathon pace in #Rotterdam on April 16.

Swim today (1K) and soon to the gym to row and cycle. Back to the gym tomorrow for strength training. A 15K on Sunday morning, 25 to 30 across the moor on Monday. Then walk along the beach on Thursday or Friday and get to work on Sunday. Spend the whole week stacking with carbohydrates, drinking proteins and water, drinking lots of water.
