There are 6.455 runners at the starting list, but during the past ten years the number of finishers has been between 5.000 and 5.500 runners.
There are two big Marathons that the major part of the runners are running each year. First one is Stockholm on early june, and then there is Helsinki City Marathon Some days back I was talking to a runner and he said that training for HCM during the summertime is bit hard because of all the summerhobbies such as traveling, dining, seeing relatives etc. I haven´t thought of it like that, but it might be true. Stockholm might have some advantage because it starts the season.
At the moment it is raining in Helsinki but later on the weather is getting warmer that is around 25 degrees. So runners should drink a lot and remember not to start too fast.
My own training had a setback last week. On tuesday I ran threshold-training, which went ok. After the workout I might have streched my Achilles-tendons too much because they were in pain for a few days after tuesday. Last week I took two days off and during this week I have ran twice 15 and and one 17 kilometres. Today I´m not training, but tomorrow again.
I´m taking some videos and photos from the Helsinki City Marathon, so more on that later.
