Less then a week for my 1st Delhi Marathon

 

Counting down to my first ever race in Delhi  (only my 2nd race outside of the south and Mumbai after  The Goa River marathon in De  2021) on 25th Feb with more than usual anxiety.   The body has not fully recovered from TMM 24  due to which several of the 10 runs since then did not go to plan and  longest run got restricted. Hoping that the flat course and the good weather(temperature below 20c till about 10an) will help me have a decent run - though the Air quality threatens to be a challenge. If all goes well, the goal is to better the Mumbai timing and finish as close to 4:35 as possible.  For this to be achieved the 1st half needs to be done in 2:10 (at a pace of 6:10) and the 2nd half in  2:24 at a pace of 6:49 keeping the overall pace around 6:30.
