COPENHAGEN MARATHON 2010

The last three years I have been running Copenhagen Marathon. This year my training has not been optimal since I started out training to late - at least if you want to run a fast marathon and beat your personal record (3.10 in 2008). Anyways - the weather was nice and Copenhagen Marathon has developed a lot - the amount of participants increases year by year. This year 12.644 runners had signed up -  but only 9.847 made it to the start and 9.141 completed the race. I thought it was a great run this year - new route and okay weather - and a lot more people in the streets cheering and making a nice atmosphere.

Compared to the last year I had another running strategy. I tried to run - negative split - which is a marathon where you run the last part faster than the first part. I ran the first 21.1 km. in 1.41 and the last part in 1.48 and managed to cross the finish line in 3.27. Not my best marathon - but on the other hand I was fresh and could actually walk after the run. Great!

Here are some pictures from the race:
