Countdown for Berlin

I received my BIB no. for Berlin Marathon. So, I have to run 42.2k on Sept. 20th. Since April, I did only one medium long run (26k) in June. My mileage is down to 40-50k/week with the longest run being 16k so far. Guess I have to start doing long runs again ;-) Here in Guangzhou, the only way doing this is on the mill (or in the water, as Ralf M. would point out). Today, I ran 14k on the mill @ 5:20min/km pace. Was not easy on the legs but surely great otherwise. Got away with just 0,5l of drink during the run. Tomorrow i will try 22k-25k. They got Discovery Channel here in the Gym so it should not be that boring.

Can't you run in the evening when I assume it is cooler (well, less hot)?

Joachim hat gesagt…

yes, I can, but not more than 10k. In the evening it's still around 30C.
