At 26km, I felt that my physical fitness had declined a bit, I felt a little lethargic, and I suddenly felt bad. Fortunately, I learned an experience from the previous two competitions: a constant speed throughout the whole process is not necessarily the most labor-saving, and the speed must be adjusted appropriately according to the physical condition.
I remembered that in the Northern Marathon, when I had low blood sugar, I still maintained a pace of less than 4 minutes after 30km, which eventually led to a collapse. This time I was smarter and didn't "be embarrassed" to slow down. I had to slow down when it was time to slow down. Now I slow down appropriately.
This is to avoid slowing down too much later.
Although he lost a few seconds, he kept surpassing people, first surpassing Liang Xutong, and then surpassing Xu Yuanshan. It was not until the stage of Wudaqiao that he was finally surpassed by a foreigner. It was quite difficult to get on the bridge, and the runners on the other side who were half way through kept giving us more
Come on, but it doesn’t help me. I can only insist on counting one kilometer as hard as I can. At this time, I was thinking: Will I run 257 again this time? Or will I not be able to hold on to 300?
It’s finally time to get off the Yanwu Bridge. You can take a breath. The real boss is still behind you. The 30km signboard goes from far to near. From a distance, you can see the race time on the timing car jumping minute by second, as if it is 2:03.
:2x, I ran closer and saw that it actually started at 2 hours and 2 minutes! "I didn't lose speed!" This was my first reaction. This unexpected surprise stimulated my nerves, and I suddenly felt energetic.
.
The time of 30 kilometers was 2 hours, 02 minutes and 45 seconds. Oh my god, it seemed like history was repeating itself. It was exactly the same time as last year’s Xiamen Marathon running to 30 kilometers! Whether it can break last year’s result depends on the final 12.2km battle.
30-40km to catch up all the way, sparing no effort
While I was getting off the bridge, I quickened my pace. There was no need to be conservative at this time, and I had to fight with spirit. After passing a few people, I saw our team's supply point. Two ladies were holding bananas, energy gels, chocolates, and Red Bulls.
While waiting for supplies, I grabbed a can of Red Bull without much thought.
I opened the bottle cap and drank while running. Although I spilled a lot, and regardless of whether Red Bull can quickly stimulate the nerve center, at least I gained great psychological motivation. The 31km uphill climb that gave me a headache in the first two Xiamen Marathons was unexpectedly
It passed easily.
At this time, he suddenly saw a person walking in front of him. He turned out to be the "heel" who had run into the 250 mark for two consecutive Xiamen Marathons. This time he took a long train to Xiamen, went to the Run Bar base camp to collect equipment, and queued for more than 2 hours.
As for not catching up with the dinner on the night of the 1st, he was exhausted and must have been affected a lot. Moreover, he is my neighbor. Our community is only separated by a road. In such a big city of Shanghai, it is very difficult to have a running business of a comparable level.
It's rare to have friends as neighbors. So this time I wanted to help him. I gave him the remaining half a can of Red Bull, but he didn't want it. He just motioned for me to run ahead of him. Unfortunately, he didn't follow him for long.
It fell.
While I was running, I had a hard time drinking a small can of Red Bull. It took me 33 kilometers to finish it. I was uncivilized and threw the empty can into the grass beside the road. Looking back, I thought about it.
, and before I knew it, another 2 kilometers passed. At this time, if I kept running at the pace for one more kilometer, I would have a better chance of winning. There would be a aid station at 35 kilometers, which also gave me more confidence.
2 kilometers, only 8 minutes, fleeting. The word "fleeting" means that I ran relatively easily at this time, otherwise it would definitely seem very long. 35 kilometers took 2 hours, 22 minutes and 47 seconds, another miracle
The time is exactly the same as the 35km race time I ran in 2012! In other words, as long as I can run the last 7.2km faster than I did in 2012, I can set a new PB. This 5km run took 20 minutes and 02 seconds, and my pace has been
If it reaches 4 points, it means that the state has come out. If I change the starting speed, it may be more difficult for me to run 4 points than it is now.
After 35 kilometers, the steep slope is the last hurdle. As long as you step over it, you will be greeted by a smooth plain. After replenishing supplies, I suddenly found Yan Yuedong not far ahead. This old comrade finally met me on the field again. In fact,
I was a little surprised to catch up with him this time. I thought he had practiced well and could run into 250, but this time he was too fast in front, which caused him to lose his strength behind. I caught up with him at about 36km and beat him.
I said hello and left first. My belief has changed from breaking the best result in Xiamen Marathon to breaking PB, and this goal is no longer far away from me.
I continued to run forward, my breathing began to become rapid, but it was bearable, and I would not lose speed. I saw the "98 Golden Key" from a distance, and coming here meant that there was only one last step left before the finish line.
5.4km, which is the distance of three circles of the community.
The 37km signboard receded from my right, and the race became intense. What I didn't expect again was that I actually caught up with Agui here. Guige is a well-known warrior in the horse racing circle. He is nearly 50 years old but has stable results, especially
It was his outstanding 100-kilometer performance that astonished countless runners. Later I learned that he was forced to slow down due to physical reasons, otherwise I would have no chance to surpass him.
After reaching 38km, due to lack of training, my leg muscles began to feel sore, but fortunately, I was very close to the finish line. No matter how hard and tired I was, I could persist for another 20 minutes at most. At this time, it was difficult to maintain my speed at 4
My legs hurt badly. I suddenly remembered that the song was playing in the convention and exhibition center not far away, "We are the challengers to the limits of life, take vigorous steps and strive to move forward...", yes, "Challenging life"
"Limit" and "Strive forward", this is the most exciting part of the marathon. I also thought of a sentence written by Teacher Huangcheng who also ran on the road around the island in "Running 332 Kilometers". I adapted it, which is "Eat before you eat."
Only by enduring unbearable hardships and enduring pain that could not be endured before can we achieve results that we could not achieve before.”
The 39-kilometer signboard passed, and the red placard reading "One Country, Two Systems, Unify China" gradually fell behind me. I saw the 40-kilometer supply station in the distance. The 40-kilometer journey took 2 hours, 42 minutes, and 56 seconds. The eighth 5
One kilometer took 20 minutes and 9 seconds, and 30-40 kilometers was the fastest 10 kilometers of the whole journey, taking 40 minutes and 11 seconds.
40-42.195km, I worked hard to achieve pb. I calculated the time and found that as long as the last 2.2km ran within 9 minutes and 03 seconds, I could break through 252 and refresh pb. I also quickly calculated that the pace needed to be within 407. Due to muscles and knees
The severe pain, for this goal, I can only say one word: hanging.
Calling it "hanging" means that there is still hope. Since there is hope, you can't give up. Giving up will only make you regret it. I usually run very quietly. If there is no one around, I will never make any sound, but this time I couldn't help but roar.
I shouted a few times to encourage myself and cover up the pain.
After 41 kilometers, it took 2 hours and 47 minutes to reach the end of the ring road. The remaining 1.2 kilometers are the legendary "turn left, turn right, turn right, turn left." The most exciting moment of the year has arrived.
The cheers from both sides became more and more enthusiastic. This was originally the most enjoyable 1,200 meters, but this time I couldn't enjoy it, and I didn't have the time to enjoy it.
Although Huizhan South Road is only a little more than 600 meters, it seems very long. It is not very tiring to say that it is tiring; it is necessary to say that it hurts! On this stretch of road, I have been fighting with pain, but "life does not stop, fight"
"Continuously", Li Yunlong's words in "Bright Sword" encouraged me.
