36th real,- BERLIN MARATHON

The decision is made and registration completed. Berlin will be marathon number 11.

Had a nice easy run of 12+ miles this morning. Kept the HR between 65-73% of max heart rate the entire run. Was happy to see the pace drop to 6:40 for the last 7 miles with the HR and effort staying the same. A good sign of fitness with recovery coming to an end.

That will be a fantastic race, with a course that flat are you going for a PB? Anything different with the training this time around? Regardless, enjoy yourself!

Thanks Michael.
I'll be lying if I didn't say I was aiming for a new PB. As for the training, I'll do a few things differently....like adding some hill repeats, higher mileage and probably a little less races compared to Hamburg. Tempo runs, MP workouts, longgg runs, long intervals, etc. will still be part of my marathon training.
