MagicRun Training: 8 weeks before raceweekend.

Starting someting new, a weekly training update.


Last week was 8 weeks before raceweekend.


We had a heat wave in the Netherlands so I needed to change my training plan.


Monday 7/22 Was a rest day because I was at Disney on Sunday.


Tuesday 7/23 A morning run because of work, it was 26 C / 78 F. , so I did a easy run.
I made a ice bottle of water so the water stayed cold, that was really nice. I made this for the rest of the week because it was going to be hotter.
It was a really slow run with a 9 min pace for 1K, but it's ok because of the weather.
Total Km's: 5.25K


Wednesday 7/24 Today it was 31 C. / 87 F. in the morning so it's going to be a very hot day.
Later that day I was so glad that I did a morning run.
It was a shorter run than the day before but it was a better run.
Pace per Km was 8.50 min.
Total Km's: 3.20K


Thursday 7/25 No run today, today was a cross training day.
I did the 9 min killer workout 3 times, the workout is from Alexia Clark, you can find this workout on her Intagram TV.

It was an afternoon workout and on that time of day it was really hot, 38 C. / 100 F., but it was a really nice workout.
It was the hottest day in the Netherlands and tomorrow It will be the same.


Friday 7/26 last day of training this week.
Glad it was a morning run because the temp was 31 C. / 78 F. in the morning, later that day it was again 38 C. / 100 F.
Today I had a character stop, or I was her character, it was so much fun. (you can see her in my training vlog, you can click the link under this post)
It was a slower run than Wednesday but it was faster than Monday.
Pace per Km's was 8.39 min.
Total Km's: 4.61K


I'm really glad with this week, I could still run with the heat because of the morning runs and I did my cross training that was really nice.
No long run this week but next week the temps are lower so than I will do a long run.
Total Km's of the week: 13.1K.


Here you can find the recap of this training week.

MagicRun Training 8 weeks before raceweekend.

What kind of races did I do from 2018 till half 2019?

We are back after a month, we had a lot going on in our private life but now we are back!!!


Here are the  races that I did from 2018 till may 2019.
Under the races you will find a link to the video recap of that race, Januari and May don't have a recap.


In 2018 I did many Virtual Runs but my first real start and finish line was an RunDisney Race.


*September 22, 2018


I did my first RunDisney Race.
The 10K MagicRun.

FunRun at Papendal, The Papendal NightRun "Christmas Edition".
My second funrun race and the first one for my friend.

The night before the race I had my last nightshift so if it was a smart move to do a run the next day, I don't know but it was a funrun.

When new year came I said I will do a medal run every month, that is the goal I made for 2019.

*Januari 22, 2019


I did a virtual run in a while.
It was the 5K  "Suck It Up Run" a virtual run by Race The Distance.
Mickey my running buddy (one of my dogs) was with me.


*Februari 2, 2019


My friend and I did the "Apres Ski Run" in our hometown.
It was also an nightrun and it was really fun to do, all the music and lights on the runners.
I love nightruns.

*March 17, 2019


I did the 10K "KLM Urban Trail Amsterdam".
I wanted to do an Urban Trail in 2018 but I was to late to book it or I had to work.
But this year I could do the one in Amsterdam my birth place.
It was a really fun run but it was so weird I had to run through restaurants and cafes.

*April 22, 2019

My first half marathon was on this day, but it went all so diffrent than I had planned.
The weather was so hot and humid that it wasn't going to be ok on my first half.
At 10.45KM I got out of the race, that was the right choice at that point.
I was really sad but it was not safe enough to do the whole 21.1K.
