Road to 42

Five weeks of marathon build-up, run through five countries on business trips and at home. The long runs grew from 15 to 22, 26 and finally 30 km.

Race day was the 3-Länder-Marathon from Lindau to Bregenz on 11 October: 42.2 km in 3:37, an even split at about 5:09 per km, and under the 3:40 target. The last five kilometres were hard, as they should be.

A cyclist who runs a marathon. It won't be the last. Maybe round two in October 2027.
