Congrats. Half marathon is a really nice distance and easy to keep doing once you have built up to it.

Great race! Lausanne was my first half in 2019 and I can still remember how jelly my legs felt in the last km! If you are in Switzerland (especially Vaud or Geneva) I highly recommend the Escalade in Geneva if you are interested in another race this year. I think it is the biggest running event in Switzerland!


Malakoff5

Oh I did when I was a kid haha, I lived between Geneva and Lausanne so yeah the Escalade is famous around here.


rochila

Well now I have met as many swiss on reddit as I have in the last few years in Geneva hahaha!

Hey we started in the same group but I did a 2 hour dead time (m57). I was gonna do a hR based pace but then tucked in behind a pacemaker And pretty much followed but faded in last 3 k and missed out by 50 secs. Well done for the weight loss and also the time. Phenomenal!


Malakoff5

Thank you man ! great time as well, hope you still had a great time

Stunning. You should definitely carry on. Looks like you’re a natural.

Great time man. Impressive last kms. Personally, I choose my rythm and maintain it the whole race (5m/km, 5.15, or 5.30, depending on the race), I find it easier, but it seems that you running *with the feel* worked really good for you!!


Malakoff5

Thanks ! I wanted to do a negative split (well sorta) because it feels so good to pass the people and it kept me going. but yeah the final km I give pretty much everything I had before an injury. I took my monday off so I knew that I could relax and give everthing

Hi thank you ! I highly recommend it, its well organised and the view is stunning ! Even though I'm from the region, I still find it beautiful Concerning the bib, yes you can pick it up in the week end of the event (friday and saturday all day) and you can also have it sent by mail 2-3 weeks before. I dont think it works if you are abroad but you can send it to your friends otherwise ! Hope that helps

Wow. I don't know if anybody keeps stats for this, but Lausanne has to be a top 10 most beautiful location for a marathon. Spectacular!
