Sandnes course. Endurance run

Stokkelandsvatnet-Sandnes

Eager to check out my recovery after Saturdays marathon in Stavanger I headed out for a short endurance session today. I went for a run with moderate elevation and aimed at keeping a marathon-pace throughout the whole session. My body felt fine allthough a bit worn. I managed to keep a steady pace at all times. I'm not yet fully recovered though. I need some more time to allow my body to recover. I had Yesterday completely off. Clearly there is still some need to recover from Saturdays race. Important to me is to run at targeted pace with as low effort as possible. I did struggle a bit today, which is expected. The two weeks ahead is tapering-period. I'm aiming at making a very good recovery from the building period in order to make as good preparation as possible for the competition period-ending in Berling Marathon the 26th of September. In that race I will strive to be as fit as never before-trying to finish at new personal best.
