10K, workout #24
Today's a special day. Eliud Kipchoge has tried again to run the marathon distance in under two hours – and succeeded in 1:59:40. Crazy and very impressing stuff. I got an invitation to watch the attempt together with other runners at the Nationale Nederlanden DE Café in Rotterdam – free and breakfast included. It was great seeing history in the making and I really like Runner's World and Nationale Nederlanden organized this for us runners.

The workout
After the attempt, Dutch Olympic athlete Bram Som provided a clinic with exercises and, of course, attempt to reach Kipchoge speeds. It was educational and great fun. After the clinic, I did a long run back to my house, with a little detour to reach 22K.

Afterwards
As I said above, the clinic was a lot fun run. It's nice to run together with people you don't know and meet new runners. The long run was okay, but I felt a bit ill already, so I've seen better runs.
