Where did the pain go?
Where did the pain go?
Here I am, three days after my DNF. The reason for my failure to complete the marathon was a knee that almost could not bend and hurt like hell and an ankle that complained with every step I took.
So why is it that my mind is already second-guessing my decision?
Why am I in doubt that I did the right thing?
Is it because my knee does not hurt anymore, it is still swollen, but does not…

Marathon van Kopenhagen (4:12:56): nr 25 is in de sjakosj met een beetje #RageAgainstTheMachine, het was weer een extreem warme editie die goed begon tot de benen niet meer meewilden (niet echt verwonderlijk natuurlijk) 😅 #lopersvangent #lopeninkopenhagen #CPHMarathon https://www.instagram.com/p/BxqA8hrii-5/?igshid=ogpbsmz9nyar
Once upon a time, a marathon was just a dream that could come true or not. Everything here depended only on me. But today in Copenhagen, after 4 hours and 48 minutes of running, war with her thoughts, legs and exhaustion, she came true and gone into the past. Today I didn't just become a person who dreams of running a marathon, I ran it and I can say one thing when you finish it cool. So now it is fashionable to look closely and look for something interesting among the autumn marathons.
The most interesting thing that was in the starter pack: the starting number and backpack :)
The Sport Expo of the Copenhagen Marathon could hardly surprise me in any way. This is again a lot of sporting goods for different purposes and brands, a lot of different interesting information about the races of the world. Yes, I could not miss the stand with my favorite company ASICS, so I looked at their sneakers in more detail. What surprised me was probably the information stand of the criminal police, when you realize that you can hardly run away from these guys :). Disappointingly, there was no information about other Danish races. Here you can find about different marathons in the world, but not about the Danish :(
The local police know how to advertise themselves.
One day left
It is tomorrow that I am running my second marathon. The first one was 5 years ago. I was in bad shape then and I am not sure it is better this time.
I have a plan A. Start slow, about 6:40 min/km, continue at that pace and end in that pace.
Plan B, start in the 4 hour 30 minuts group and finish in a sub5 time.
Plan C, finish the race.
