“There were many safety officers even though it was held on a bicycle path.”
The runner took part in the Emotional Run 10km to check their condition one week before the JTBC Marathon. They ran on the Jamsil bicycle path, increasing their pace in the second half compared with the first, and wrote that there were many safety officers but also bottlenecks.
“Still, four of us from the company took part, and fortunately, we all finished.”
The runner took part in the 10 km race with their colleagues, and they all finished. The bottleneck on the narrow course and the uphill section at the beginning were challenging. Although the runner's time did not improve, the runner was satisfied with an even pace and disappointed by the long lines at the photo zone and for commemorative gifts.
“I was worried because I had not trained much this time, but I was proud to set a personal best.”
The runner took part in the Emotional Run 10 km with their colleagues and set a personal best of 1 hour 12 minutes 10 seconds. The runner was worried because they had not trained enough, but finished by following the pacemaker, who was running ahead, and enjoyed running while looking at the Han River.
The runner finished the first 10km in 1 hour 1 minute. Starting in Group C, the runner encountered congestion early on, found the narrow Han River course and bicycle traffic difficult, and wrote that fatigue increased after 7km.
“It was an even happier marathon because my family took part together.”
The runner took part in the Jamsil Emotional Run 10 km with the family and finished the race. Remembering the traffic congestion when leaving after a previous visit, the runner and the family parked at Jamsil Sports Complex and continued from there. They enjoyed running alongside the scenery around the Han River.
