The decision in which german city i´ll run my spring marathon was along and tough affair, which i spread over the last few weeks.
Ultimately, my trainer and I have decided to run the Dusseldorf Marathon, because I still needed time to get fresh again (after a training camp in Kenia). Hamburg would have come a week to early.
The last days were running really well and the pace of my tempo workouts have given me more self-confidence. In each tempo session i could push myself harder and harder as i never experienced it before.
The last couple of weeks it was just about resting and trying to charge a
maximum of energy so that all "tanks" are full on Sunday.
I am looking forward to Dusseldorf! This gonna be a really exciting race.
With Uli Steidl, Tobias Sauter, Andre Pollmächer, Falk Cierpinski and
myself there are five men who could compete for the DLV (German Athletics
Association) at the World Champs in Berlin.
So fingers crossed that the weather´s gonna be fine and i find my
rhythm!
