Done! Not as fast as the last full marathon, but I‘m happy with that. Lots of elevation gains and perfect weather conditions combined in a long, but beautiful run. That was fun (until ~36 kms in, at that point I was a little fed up with the last segment of my run which was on the street in contrast to the first 33 kilometers on trails). Yeah, the one-marathon-per-year pledge has been fulfilled once more. I‘ll be back with it next year.

@randomized Thank you! Right out of the shower, now it’s time for breakfast! 🤤

@pfernandes Thank you, Pedro! Now I’m HUNGRY. I – of course – had forgotten about the energy bar I had with me all the way… And that water bottle was also left at home… 🙄

@sebastianhahn I hope you found spots to drink water, I cannot imagine a marathon without drinking

@pfernandes No, but I didn’t look out for any such spots. I usually can handle this without drinking, and I did today. Luckily, it was cool enough (~8 degrees). When I was home again, I drank a full bottle of Diet Coke within one minute.

@sebastianhahn That's not good Sebastian. I know it's cold and you are in top shape, but still… Anyway 💪

@pfernandes @sebastianhahn

Great topic!

I see both sides, I don't drink on longer runs either (not marathons, the furthest I have managed is a half marathon) however, I do follow a pretty strict hydration protocol, every day, so I know I am fully hydrated before I set out for a run.

@fellrun @sebastianhahn if it's below 10k I don't drink. Anything above that I carry water. In 2013, I was in top shape and suffered a heat stroke on a 10K run! It was serious, I was in the hospital for 2 days and it affected my liver for ~6 months.
It was not too hot on that day. I was pushing to go under 40 minutes on the 10k but still. I was running 10K everyday and out of nowhere I woke up in the hospital. I was very lucky. These days I take hydration very seriously during runs. Stay safe!

@pfernandes @fellrun 😱 Wow, that’s gross! I‘ll heed your advice!

@sebastianhahn @pfernandes

Oof yeah that's a hard lesson! You must have been pretty dehydrated for that to happen.

Glad you made it out the other side okay 👍 I have had heatstroke once, a very mild case apparently, and it was still horrendous. You were lucky.

It's considerably different here, it is very rare temperatures get high enough to cause heatstroke, it's usually on the downright cold side of things and incredibly wet!

I reckon I am hydrating just by breathing some days 😂

IMHO hydration is *always* a serious issue 💯

@sebastianhahn @pfernandes @fellrun I second Pedro here 100%. I can do at least 25k without eating anything, even higher pace and temperature, but not drinking is not only uncomfortable but dangerous.

@sebastianhahn Outstanding. Congratulations. You are amazing me daily. Thanks.

@oliviersaraja Thank you! But you’re too kind. Have a great day!

@sebastianhahn I like how you can just casually hammer out a marathon at a similar pace to your daily runs, incredible stuff!

@RowinSpeez Thank you! The difference between this full marathon and my daily half marathons is that I needed some sleep *after* the run today. I’m surprised I managed to keep the tempo up all through the run. But I’m happy!

@maxheadroom Ja, ich weiß… Der Marathon war gleich viel anstrengender mit angehaltenem Atem. 😂😂😂

@sebastianhahn
Dang, man.
That's good stuff. 💪🦵
I can only dream of times like that these days

@mlawton

@sebastianhahn wow that's incredible!! Very solid performance!
