ThorstenRan in 2019 · Finish time 1:32:15

“I focus on running smoothly and try to keep my feet moving as lightly as possible.”

Thorsten tackled the early climb cautiously at the Schwabach City Run half marathon, then established his own pace in the second half. Holding his speed late on, he finished smiling in 1 hour 32 minutes 15 seconds, a new course best.

DerFleggoRan in 2016 · Finish time 1:30:24

“I was able to maintain pace almost throughout, but it was literally only just maintained.”

The runner ran a hilly half marathon without having trained enough. From 17K onward, they battled tired legs on the descents, but finished in a better-than-expected 1:30:24.
