I WILL RUN VIENNA CITY MARATHON 2020

My next marathon will be Vienna city marathon – home of 1:59 😀 on 19th April 2020. I am preparing for it, although I won’t be chasing olympic standard for Tokyo 2020, which wa my main goal for so many seasons. The standard is 2:11:30, which means new national record and my PB for 3 minutes and half. Which seems too optimistic for me to run this year. Other possibility to qualify to olympics is through world rankings, but there are already 80 marathoners with standard 2:11:30. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Qualification

So I will try to qualify for half marathon for European athletics championships, which is at the end of August in Paris. There is no standard, but I will have to run sub 1:06 to be nominated for the team.
