I’ve adapted my running plan to this week’s leisure travel with my friends. I still completed five runs, of which two were in very warm temperatures in Marrakech, where I’ve been staying since Thursday.
Personal milestone: I enjoyed completing the half-marathon distance in Marrakech today. We ran the official parcours by following the gpx we downloaded.

My run log has more 2025 running stats. My personal best in the half marathon is 1:43:07, which I’m trying to beat with this training schedule.
I downloaded the Marrakech half marathon gpx and completed the course this morning with my friend who is training for the Rotterdam marathon. I can now say I finished my first half-marathon distance on the African continent.

I’ve been in Marrakech since yesterday with three of my longest-standing friends. Two of them joined me this morning on a recovery run around the city.
Today’s interval run was initially planned for yesterday morning, but I had to skip that run; my day was too packed to complete a training session next to everything else. This was intense training at an average pace of 4:47 per kilometer.

This was another fun week for running, and I improved on almost all of my metrics compared to last week. My Friday 35-minute run included a 25-minute tempo run, which I could complete at 5:10 per kilometer.
