Rotterdam Marathon - 7th April 2019

Cartman78 · 2018-09-28 14:26:13

Registration opened for this yesterday - it doesn't seem to sell out until February/March usually so plenty of time to decide.

We had dinner here the night before, Place was busy with runners as they do very nice pasta.
It was right beside the Merriott Hotel in Rotterdam.

I experimented today with running by HR zone instead of pace. I think the pace I've trained at for a 3:03 might be a push given how the last couple of weeks have been with the flu. I'm better now but feel sluggish like you do after you've been through a battering.
Better to race at what I'm able to do rather than what I would like to do. If I hit 3:03 then, mega. If I don't, but run a decent race without blowing up, no harm done. In a way it's a bit more exciting as I've no idea what I'll end up at

Yep, there's a tracker on the app. From what I remember it was quite good last year

Good luck everyone today.
Fingers crossed we can beat most of the heat until it's beer garden time

Breege Connolly and Ann-Marie McGlynn are gone out at 2:33 pace. Ann-marie had a cracking run in the Barcelona half a few weeks ago running 1:11:59 so this could be interesting for her debut.

Will someone keep on eye on them. The app and website are crashing for me so I can't track anyone.
