Grøvdal completed the third in the races of 2022 and 2023, and did not want to land again to the third step of the chair.
“I was so tired at the time,” Gradal told reporters. “Just thinking, this year is the third. But then I don’t know. I just tried not to leave the gap too large. Suddenly I was following them again. “
He ended down Kenyan Duo and continued to win with a comfortable 18 seconds, raising his hands when he broke the finish ribbon near the central park near the pub. The first prize of $ 20,000 wasn’t bad either.

Grøvdal loans backgrounds and stay healthy for his late career success, and he is happy to defend his NYC title on Sunday.
“I am not sure what the secret is,” today the race is produced today. “I had many years without injury. I have trained well; I think that’s the key. And, of course, I started this race last year with this race and victory, so it was a very good start. ” He continued. “It’s been many years with a lot of work.”
His run also was important for Gradal, who enjoys a cross-country, followed and running equally. Although he missed the Atletics Khachkar Championship last year. An event in which he has a record 10 medals, he took the 13th place in the World Athletics Championships.
“I think it’s motivating me to make many tribes,” Gradal explained. “I love a cross country, I love roads, and I love watching. So I’ve always been to compete and compete on different distances from a shorter time. I think it’s very important for me to actually behave behavior. “
It is noteworthy that Gradal still maintains and even improves. His speed. During the last three ways, he lowered his semi-marathon in 1:08:07 2022, 1:07:34 2023, and then 1:06:55 last year. He is also running the best seasonal times for 5000 m. 31.07, 14. 45.24 and 14. 38.62 for 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. It made him the fastest European from 2022, and the third is the third largest 2023 and 2024. It is noteworthy for the athlete who competes in the middle or more of the roads.
“I’m just thinking when I’m in good shape, I can do all the distances very far, and now I’m in my first year to train for the marathon. Everyone says you become slow now. So I hope I will run quickly in 5 and 10, because I think I need to improve my 5 and 10-are for a marathon. “
Gradah’s first marathon is in the immediate horizon. He chose to try the distance in Haspa Marathon Hamburg, the same event, where his first debut was a bilateral Olympic marathon gold medalist Elijah. He could run in London (on the same day) and, of course, performed an appearance fee, but in Hamburg he will be able to put less pressure and bring his own men (London Marathon).
“My program must work in Hamburg on April 27,” Gradal said. He continued. “It was that one or London. But I think it may be good for my first marathon to have a lower key (race). I can have two guys who help play the field. London are women only. So I think it will be a good place to start, then I’m doing a autumn marathon. “
