I did a long distance runner’s unusual thing and ran an 800m competition at LAC Degerloch’s beautiful club festival on May 9.
Most runners have an ambiguous relationship with the 800. Too long for an all out sprint, too short for distance running mode.
This one was lovely. Completing it in 2:43 exceeded my expectations for the day.
4 years ago, my last time doing this, I did it in 2:38, and I was in a much better condition back then.
This kind of race gives a nice kick to my long distance runner body. Looking forward to the benefits in the next 10 km or HM.
Thanks to LAC Degerloch and all the wonderful people there for this amazing day. And for the 2nd place 🥈 in the “all over 30” category.
