Tarandeep Kaur - A big personal best time in San Sebastian Marathon 2013.
As I know Tarandeep, she is progressing very well from a sub - 4hr runner marathoner to a 3hr 50min 00sec runner in the recent San Sebastian 2013. I have written about her summary of the run in the last blog post. Let us hear from her on her feat in this marathon.
An Interview With Tarandeep Kaur.
How was the route generally?
The route was quite flat.
How was the weather there?
Weather was very
cold and slightly drizzling.
How was your preparation for the race?
I didn't prepare very hard for this race as I
was travelling a lot and had exams and interviews. Also, I twisted my hip 3 in
September and it had not recovered so my mileage was less than 70 a week as it
was too painful to run more.
What was your actual time for the race?
3hr 50min 00sec
What was your expectation of the race?
No, actually I did not think I would go sub 4
hours because my injury was hurting after 3km of running. Also, I had a small
accident in the morning of the race and I cut myself so was bleeding a lot.
What was your strategy in the race?
My strategy was to keep it constant for the first 38km and then kick. I
managed to do that because for my last 3km I did sub-5mins per km and overtook
many people including guys so it was a nice finish. Also, the route finishes at
a track so that's nice too.
What are your plans?
No plans for the next race. Now I want to focus
on recovering and healing this injury because it has been with me for too long
. In the long term, I am hoping for a 3hr 40min to 3hr 45min.
