Mannheim Marathon Duo - Cancelled!The entire event was cancelled due to severe wind of over 100 km/h and torrential rain. A lot of trees on the road, roof tiles all over the place and 8,000 very frustrated runners!
Went for a 11.5km run (1:05) through the rubble to get rid of some excess energy before hitting the beers...

A real stinker of a hill at 8km, which costed at least 30 seconds. Perfect conditions; 7 seconds short of a PB - very promising, given the tough course.

Running:
10.8km - 61:00
Easy run on soft ground.
Also got my orthoses (bespoke insoles, 7 times the price); have to break them in for a few days before I will start using them for running - after the big one next week.

Running:
25.0km - 2:17:20
Constant speed throughout, but heart rate went through the roof: (5 km - 163, 10km - 170, 15km - 172, 20km - 179, 25km - 188). Not sure why it was so high from the beginning, so the last 20 minutes were pretty tough.

Podiatrist & Physio
Finally got measured properly by a podiatrist. Need custom-made orthotics due to front-foot pronation.
Also, core instability in my lower back; have to do various stupid-looking exercises for initially 3 months. And sit straight. And walk properly. And .... Looks like I am getting old...
