Isonto lesithathu lokuziqeqesha lokulungiselela kwami uhhafu wemarathon nomarathon seliphelile.
Leli sonto ekuqaleni belihlelelwe ukuphela ngomjikelezo wamaviki ama-3, okugcizelelwe kuwo bekuwukuzivocavoca "ukukhuphuka ukukhuphuka phezulu".
Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yokuvela kobuhlungu obuncane ku-periosteum ne-Achilles tendon, bekufanele ngibuyekeze ngokushesha uhlelo bese ngenza isonto leziphambano ezihamba kancane ukuze ukulimala kungabi kubi.
Imvamisa, uma uziqondisa ngesikhathi, khona-ke ubuhlungu obuncane buyaphela ngeviki. Ngalesi sikhathi kuthathe izinsuku ezi-5.
NgoMsombuluko, nginqume ukwenza ukweqa okuningi, kepha ngejubane eliphansi nohafu wevolumu.
Ngemuva kwalokho wayehlanganyela ekugijimeni kancane kuphela, ngenkathi ehlala esebenzisa ibhandishi elinwebekayo endaweni yethenda le-Achilles. Ngolunye usuku kugxilwe ekuqeqesheni amandla. Kuqiniswe imisipha ye-Achilles nemisipha yethole.
NgoMgqibelo ngezwa ukuthi empeleni abukho ubuhlungu. Ngakho-ke, ekuseni, ngohlelo olusha, ngiqede isiphambano se-10 km ngejubane lemizuzu engu-4 ngekhilomitha. Futhi kusihlwa nginqume ukuzama umsebenzi omncane wejubane. Okungukuthi, yenza i-fartlek 10 km, ushintshanise phakathi kokugijima okuhamba kancane nokushesha okungu-1 km.
Ngenxa yalokho, isikhathi esimaphakathi samakhilomitha ahamba kancane sasizungeze u-4.15-4.20. Futhi ijubane lezingxenye ze-tempo lenyuka kancane kancane, liqala ngo-3.30 lize liphele ngo-3.08.
Isimo besisihle. Kwakungekho nhlobo ubuhlungu. Ukungakhululeki okuncane kuphela ku-periosteum.
Ngakusasa, ngokwecebo, kwakukhona isiphambano samahora ama-2. Nginqume ukuthi uma ngizizwa ngivunyelwe, ngizoqhuba kakhulu.
Sekukonke, simboze ama-36 km ngejubane elijwayelekile elingu-4.53.
Isonto lonke, inani eliphelele lingu-110 km, ngenxa yokuthi usuku olulodwa lwalunikelwe ngokuphelele ekuqeqesheni umzimba jikelele.
Ngesonto elilandelayo, ngiqala ukufaka ngenkuthalo i-GPP neziphambano ezinde. Uma nje isimo sezulu sivumela ukuqeqeshwa kwesikhawu, ngizozama ukusebenzisa i-fartlek njalo.
Ngokuqinisekile ngizosebenza eziwela iziphambano.
Ngokunjalo, umsebenzi womjikelezo wamaviki amathathu alandelayo ukusebenza ekuthuthukiseni inqubo yokusebenza ngokuzivocavoca umzimba jikelele kanye nenani elikhulu leziphambano ngejubane eliphakathi naphakathi, lapho ungachitha khona isikhathi esiningi ekusebenzeni ngale ndlela, futhi ungacabangi ngokushaya ngamandla nokuphefumula.
