Paris marathon. 30k as planned but last 12k really horrible. Stomach cramps and empty legs. Extremely warm weather made it difficult after the winter and stomach wasn't with me today. I knew last 10k would be hard but not this hard. Weather really killed me. Proud that I finished but that's about it. Ran the first half nice & steady according to plan but after 25k I started to faint. 3h balloon guys passed me at 35k but there was nothing I could do. So annoying! Splits 5k 20:53, 10k 41:54, 15k 1:03:14, 20k 1:24:19, HM 1:29:08, 25k 1:45:59, 30k 2:08:52, 35k 2:32:16, 40k 2:55:54, M 3:06:37. 52th female among 10339.

Sightseeing run in Paris with Sami including a few strides. A bit longer than it should have been. Also ended up walking quite a bit on the way back from the number pick-up since the subway stopped working. We had to figure out what to do and ended up walking quite a bit extra. In the evening we walked 2k to the restaurant and back.

3k m-pace (4:16 / 4:06 / 4:01). Easy! :)

Easy run with 6x100m strides

25min warm up with drills and strides, then 10x200m in 42-43s with 200m jog recoveries, and warm down
