Reserve pace runners required for Gold Coast Airport Marathon and Asics Half Marathon
4 WEEKS TO GOLD COAST
I ran in the Hong Kong Marathon back in 1997. The race started on the new Tsing Ma bridge, ventured down a new wiz bang freeway, which was yet to be opened, and finished with 10k on the tarmac of the also soon to be opened, 'new' Hong Kong International Airport.
At this stage of my career I had my warm up routine down pat (pardon the pun). A light 10-15 min jog followed by light stretching then some run-throughs to get some spring in my step. I would always do my run-throughs in a secluded area such as at the rear of a building, removed from all the masses so I could be alone with my thoughts. I would then slip into my super slick racing flats that weighed next to nothing.
