Generali 5K Berlin 2024

Today I ran the 5K which in essence is the last 5K of the marathon course in Berlin. Imagine a Parkrun with 10000 runners. It turns out the course goes right past the hotel where I'm staying but it is around the 40K mark so in the marathon I won't be in any mood to notice it. At that stage I'll be just hanging on to the end.

This run was fun and I took it at a gentle pace because I need absolutely everything for the marathon tomorrow.

At the end of this 5K we all got medals and then an interesting combination of a jam doughnut, water, a banana and then ERDINGER Alkoholfrei beer.

Top tip for Katnap , TailChaser and Lookslikejames - you run through the Brandenburg Gate but it is not the end of the marathon. There is around another 500m to go so leave a little in the tank for those last few metres.

Thanks for the tip, but I've got nothing in the tank for the first 500m, never mind the last 500! πŸ˜„ Have a good race!
