Half Marathon pacer: April 18 2026

svanbo in Actifit • 16 days ago

Already in problems after 3 kilometers and not with my knees but with my calf,😰

Looking behind me and seeing 20-30 people trying to follow the pace at 1h40 made me consider what to do... I couldn't sign up as a pacer for a half marathon and abandon the race after 3-4km. So I decided to try and continue to 8-9km and see if there were still a lot of people following...

I didn't really count the kilometers in advance and we went further away than I thought to, so neither it was an option to stop there. From that point it was survival modus and fighting for every kilometer.

Fortunately I had been building a margin and I could afford to drop the pace by 10-15 seconds in the last three kilometers and finish anyway under 1h40, which was the objective.

I think that you would need to focus your attention not just on your knee and your calf, but also other parts of your body that may be causing the pain !INDEED. 🤔🧘‍♂️🤯🤓 !HOPE !WEIRD !PIZZA

Absolutely. That's why I'm trying to go for cycling and swimming, and I'm trying to do some exercises for my Achilles heel and thighs !INDEED !HOPE !wine

!HOPE that such alternative exercises to running make you feel (much) less pain in your body (and actually helps address the cause itself of the pain)! 🤗😏 !LOLZ

I'm having less pain !INDEED, but I'm losing shape, thus it isn't a solution on the longer term !STRIDE !wine
