A
Word to All Full Marathon Runners-Part
2(April 6,2015)
Thank you very much for paying
attention to what we said yesterday about the full marathon that you
would run on May 1,2015.We continue about this topic today:
More than 10 days ago,we
received the email from an Argentina runner.She told us that she
would like to change the full marathon into half marathon.Here is
her original email:
Dear friend from china. Hello .how are you.
Thanks for your warming answer and for every detail written in the
page. I want to tell you that my trainer and me were watching all
the videos, pictures, maps, course and we studied a lot my efforts
all this time doing my training. After our last meeting we decided
that if I want to enjoy the race I have to change the distance of
the race. So I can do it happily and without injure myself. I see at
one often question that I can change the distance of the running
until 15 april, so I want to tell you that changing the distsnce
from 42 k to 21 km is my best option to feel happy and safe. Thanks
for all the details you send to us updating the race, and your
caring about us in every step of the race. Tell me if I have to fill
the form again with 21 k or not. Thanks for your kind care of us,
always. Valeria
Valeria applied to run the full
marathon in the Summer last year,she has been paying the very high
attention to the
official website of Great Wall of China Marathon(GWCM) very much.She
read every piece of our news here,and she watched every videos we
released from last Summer till now,she also have studied the three
maps for the full marathon courses,so she made her decision this
way.
About how about you?Every
runners are different.But here we would like to give you the common
data for you that whether you should make the change or not.
If your result
at the usual marathon races is from 5 hours to 5 hours 30
minutes,there is no problem that you can finish the full marathon on
the Great Walls on May 1,2015.
If your result
at the usual marathon races is 6 hours 30 minutes,we suggest that
you give up running the full marathon on the Great Walls on May
1,2015.
if your
result at the usual marathon races is between 5 hours 30
minutes to 6 hours 30 minutes,you might be able to complete your
full marathon on the Great Walls if you feel that your marathon
races results have been improving,and if you also have the regular
training all year round.
Or
otherwise,you would be in the very hard situation for struggling,and
if you feel so exhausted,and you want to try as you on the flat road
of the usual marathon till the end,it might be very dangerous for
you.So you can balance yourself,and change your race into half
marathon,you might feel happy as Valeria.
And if you
want to make the change,we suggest you do this before April
15,2015.We do not accept the change after May 1,2015.If you cannot
finish the full marathon race,you should notice that you might have
no result at the Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1,2015.
This is our very sincere
suggestion for all the world full marathon runners.We will continue to tell
about this topic tomorrow.Thank you very much for your greatest
attention for this.
