“In the end, I improved my full marathon personal best by 3 minutes.”
Nani felt heavy and slowed before reaching 10 kilometers in the Gangnam International Peace Marathon full marathon. Following another runner's advice to focus on the body helped improve the personal best by 3 minutes.
“Today I ran the marathon event organized by Gangnam District.”
Byeolda arrived by running through rain, then immediately started the Gangnam International Peace Marathon 10 kilometers. An early push led to declining pace, followed by renewed strength from 5 kilometers, but insufficient rest remained a regret.
