My AI trainer predicts somewhere between 4:30 and 4:50 depending on the model. Not very optimistic — but that’s what the pure training data shows right now. And let’s be honest: I know it’s not good.
The current training goal is just to get the body as prepared as possible without breaking anything. One big improvisation in the yellow injury zone. Now I remember why I don’t run a full marathon every year. It’s not fun to run 30km with slight pain, constantly hoping it won’t turn into a full stop. The permanent background question: is this too much, or not?
The most annoying part is that I started preparation in December specifically to avoid going through exactly this.
And of course the question appears: why am I doing this at all? There are so many answers that I can’t really give a single one. Maybe I just believe that making yourself better, connecting to something greater, and sharing it with others — is how you make the world a slightly better place.
There is also one very important discovery: nettle burn does not speed recovery. Apparently one needs to eat the nettle, not run through it.
