Unexpected Comeback

stats of the week: run 26 km, walked 35 km, gym 1.5 h
Prague Half result: 2:10:43 h

My performance at the Prague Superhalf Marathon was a lot better than I expected. I started the race cautiously but still reasonably fast. To my astonishment I was able to keep the pace of around 6 min/km for 16 km, with the last 2 being the fastest. Then I had to take some short walking breaks - Garmin documented walking for a bit more than 2 minutes during the final 5K. However I was happy to clock an average pace of 6:12 min/km what makes sort of a comeback, half a year after the spinal disc incident.

With 4 weeks to London I now hope to build up more endurance that will let me run significantly more than half the marathon distance. I set my goal to finish below 5 hours.
