I went to run the Ome Marathon course this Saturday as I did last week.
It wasn’t as sunny as last week, but it didn’t rain and it was a bit cloudy throughout the day, with occasional sunshine through the clouds and a nice breeze. The temperature was certainly high and we were sweating a lot, but it was very easy to run.
I don’t know if it was because I drank and ate a little too much the day before last week, but I retired after 26km, so this week was also about revenge.
The pace was about the same as last week, but I was in good shape. After 25km, my legs were feeling a bit tired, but I managed to finish the race. Yay!
The pace is not bad for this heat. After all, the pace is faster in the second half of the descent.
Still, I’m hoping I can pick up the pace a bit more. I’m trying to run slow because I’m worried about the heat, but maybe I can go a little faster.
終了後は、先週と同じように河辺駅前の温泉施設で疲れを癒やしました。先週教わった足のケア方法、「冷たい水をかける or 冷たい水に浸す、その後、お湯をかける or お湯につける」を数回繰り返す、これを行ったおかげで翌日ウソみたいに筋肉痛にならないんです。
Of course I don’t miss this after finishing the race (laughs)
I ran over 30km and it didn’t affect me the next day. Excellent!
9月の本番に向けていまのところ調整は順調といえるでしょう。7月中旬からまた海外に出かけるので、その時までにあともう一回くらい長距離走っておきたいところですね。
