Race Report: Den Haag CPC Loop Half Marathon - 2025
Goal:
- Primary: Finish Strong and Enjoy the Experience
- Secondary: Sub 02:00 hours
Training:
I've mentioned earlier that I have signed up for Berlin Marathon. I have enough time to have two different training blocks up to that race, so I've decided to have first block to improve my half marathon time. (PB: 01:52h)
Currently at the third week of the HM program. Race day, I was supposed to have a 15km long run.
Pre-Race:
- Woke up at 7:00 AM, had my usual pre-race breakfast, jam/bread/cottage cheese and coffee.
Weather was nice compared to Netherlands standards, around 10°C, but clear and sunny.
Race:
Start:
- I start fast normally due to excitement, however this time I keep my pace around 05:30, continued steadily around 10km.
Middle:
- Middle section was a bit of a grind. Around 12th, 13th kms, we landed to the pier with some elevation and winds. This is time I started to lose my momentum, but tried to keep up the page.
Finish:
- Going back to city from the pier, with less elevation changes, I managed to go back into 05:30, 05:40 range again, finished strong but did not push too hard since this is not a target race. I had to think about the recovery :)
Post-Race:
- Grabbed a finisher's medal and AA drinks. Felt pretty strong, not much soreness, and happy. Overall, I was really pleased with my race. The course was well-organized, and the atmosphere was incredible. Definitely a race I'd consider doing again.
Fueling:
I use Maurten gels, normally, at races, however those things are not cheap .(3.5 EUR per piece) This time I've used Decathlon gels, in KM6, KM11, KM16. Did not hit any wall, it was enough to fuel.
Results:
- Official time: 1:59:15. Both goals are met!
Gear:
- Nike Vaporfly Next% 2, Asics running shorts, custom-made running top, Garmin Fenix 7 pro, Coros HR monitor.
Lessons Learned:
- Need to improve my racing economy after 10km. Around 12,13 I felt the exhaustion in the legs, and that slowed me down. I should not skip long runs!

@spaminator this is just a heads up that you have upvoted this content while this account is self voting (100%) of their own posts. Isn't this what spaminator is fighting against?
can you stop spamming my posts? you can mention them or DM other places.
you only had 2 recent ones, so I thought that was okay
dude you have serious problems.
why exactly? You started to senselessly downvote all of my (community)posts, I am merely reacting to that behavior.
Whats the price tag if one wins the race,? But in marathon whats he odd if you start at a slow pace and finish fast?
I'm sorry i'm too late to upvote... :-(
I guess you'll need more weekly kilometers and include a weekly 15(+) run...
You cannot feel exhausted after 12-13km
Gel at 6km already?... Seems soon to me. How you're planning to do that in a marathon?.... !HUG !LUV !INDEED

Üstadım son paylaşımıma upvote desteği vermişsiniz çok teşekkür ediyorum. Mustafa bey (incublus) arkadaşınız mı bilmiyorum ona da eğer sizinle iletişimdeyse teşekkürümü iletirsiniz diye yazmıştım. Buradan da size yazmak istedim. İsmim Mete. 4-5 sene öncesinde Hive ve Steemit'e giriş yapmıştım fakat sonrasında hayat şartlarımı diyim koptum araya başka şeyler girdi. Şimdi Müzik kanalı paylaşımlarımı bu platformlarda da yapayım diye tekrar geldim. Mustafa Bey'e yazmıştım size de yazayım. 2-3 Sene önce Splinterlands oynamak için açtığım öyle kalan bir hive hesabım daha var. O hesapta İngilizce-Türkçe olarak yatırımcı kimliğim ile bilgi ve tecrübelerimi paylaşmak istiyorum. Zira 2018 den itibaren kripto, 2022 itibari ile Bist ve 2024 itibari ile de ABD Borsası bilgi , tecrübelerimi ve portföylerime dair paylaşımlar yapma niyetim var. O hesaptan da paylaşım yapmamın bir mahsuru varmı ? Yani topluluk kurallarına aykırı olma gibi bir durum söz konusu olurmu diye size de sormak isterim ? Bu arada witness vote linki vermişsiniz. O link aracılığı ile vote verdim bu witness voting konusunu bilmiyorum ama size destek olmak adına vote verdim umarım size faydası vardır.
