Naturally, I\u2019m hoping for a good time. My ambition was to finish well under an hour, and that will probably work out for me, possibly thanks to my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leiden365.nl\/blog\/?p=11107&#038;lang=nl\">adrenaline training<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.leiden365.nl\/blog\/?p=9289&#038;lang=en\">in 2024<\/a>) I ran the 10k in a nice three quarters of an hour. A year later (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.leiden365.nl\/blog\/?p=9987&#038;lang=en\">in 2025<\/a>) it already took me a bit longer, namely 49 minutes. This year, who knows. I hope I\u2019ve found my old form again, but it could just as easily go the other way.<\/p>\n<p>Due to a small misunderstanding, I received two numbers this year. Instead of simply throwing one away, I came up with a clever way to give myself some extra motivation during the race. The route is 10 km, but it actually consists of two laps of 5 km. After about 1.5 km I pass my house, and again after 6.5 km. That gave me the following idea:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Preparation<\/strong>: Starting in May I go for practice runs with Alex every weekend.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Match<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>I run from the start.<\/li>\n<li>Alex gets the second number.<\/li>\n<li>During the second lap, around 6.5 km, Alex waits near our house. As soon as he sees me, he starts running with me.<\/li>\n<li>He is of course still completely fresh, and 3.5 km is easy for him. This way he acts as my personal pacer and helps me keep up the pace.<\/li>\n<li>The result: I run the full 10 km but with an extra motivation during the toughest part.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My time\/result: <strong>0:50:31<\/strong><br \/>\nAlex&#8217; time\/result: <strong>0:49:54<\/strong> (faster thanks to his final sprint)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have another company run coming up, and I\u2019ve signed up again, which for me means a 10 kilometer run.
