Tårnbyløbet 2010 (10km)

I ran 10km in the Tårnbyløbet this evening in my best time of 55 minutes and 10 seconds :)

It was a 5km route and you could choose to run 5km or 10km. The first 5km was kind of crowded running on the pavements and inbetween other people.

Many people chose to only run 5km so the last 5km was much less crowded. Most of the time there was at least 20 metres between me and the person infront and behind.
I just went off into my own little world until about 400 metres before the end when I put my foot down and sprinted the last bit :)

I'm not sure why but I really love to save a little energy for the final sprint!

I had a little of the Maxim strawberry energy gel just before the race and at the 4km point. This is the best energy gel I have tried yet.

Marathon Start Up

And so I've signed up for the Sparta Marathon Start Up!

It cost 270kr which is pretty expensive but I still decided to sign up for it because there are no other 15km races in Copenhagen until the end of December and I need to do one to achieve my next goal.

I do get a nike running vest in with the price though so it's not that bad :)

The run is around Fælledparken. It's a 5km course and you can run it once, twice or three times. You can decide on the day what you want to do. I'm going for the 15km!

I'm having a rest day today and then probably a short run in the morning both on Tuesday and Wednesday
