Finally Again Any Marathon Under 4 Hours
I got my fastest run in 2008 in Frankfurt: 03:54:51 - I've never understood how this could had happened. Nevertheless: my dream is running in grossly less than 4 hours. Because of the many many other participants in Frankfurt you have a long stand(!)by time, which naturally is included into the gross running time. But now, after two tries, let me set a weaker goal.
So, in 2012 again I am going to beat myself by running under 4 hours:
| Date | KM | Place | Plan | Real | min/km | finally (grossly) less than 4 hours | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012-07-08 | 21 | Oberursel-Stierstadt | 01:55:30 | 01:55:30 | 5:28 |  | |

| 2012-09-16 | 21 | Neu Isenburg | 01:55:00 | 01:52:09 | 5:15 | ||
| 2012-10-28 | 42 | Frankfurt | 03:52:00 | 03:51:04 | 5:28 |  |
Sometimes it is easier if you accept help!
After my "crash" in Rostock I had to find new ways: I had to take a personal coach. A good decisions! I had never so much pleasure during my set-up time and during the run. Honour to whom honour is due: This is also the merit of Tobias Hopf - a wonderful tutor!!!
