30 August 2025 – Mollen Marathon Almere

7 loops looping an industrial area and the Oostvaarders Plassen.
We were meant to train at a pace of 5.37 to try and make the pacer consistent tempo running requirement. Helaas pindakaas. I bonked at km11 and had to slow down. Went on a week long crash diet prior to this. I did not worry much about this run, but i always forget what it takes to finish a marathon distance.
Finished at the end albeit with a less than spectacular finish time of 4.34 hr.
