On July 28th 2024 I attended the inclusive Max Steger Sportfest with Xin. We ran the 800m. This was my first 800m run and I had a target time of 3:00. During training, that seemed reasonable after timed interval training. After warmup Xin and I did some progression runs to the target pace. This was my 4th time I trained with my new spike shoes. I have to run on the forefoot with these, which is quite challenging. After the start we hit the target pace pretty well without over pacing. between 400m to 600m I had a couple of steps, where I used my heel. This cost me a couple of seconds. On the last stretch I didn’t use my heel again and I finished in 3:00.68. Almost exactly the target time. This was a great last event for the season and I’m looking forward to some vacation!
