Ottawa (24-May) – It all started with the conversation, which took place in the American Latest Bank in America’s Marathon.
The American Pot’s Rumer and the Canadian Rior Circle were sitting at the table at the table, the coordinator and Andersen, the coordinator of the Marathon Alitian Marathon Marathon, talked about the merits of his race. Albertson, who was in Chicago as a competitor and a ring that was there as frostbite, had been intrigued by what they had heard. Both athletes planned to launch 2025 Boston in April, so Ottawa will present a special challenge after five weeks.
“Stepanos kept Ottawa to CJ,” the meeting reminded the meeting in an interview weekly. “Why don’t you come after Ottawa Boston? I knew I was doing Boston at that moment, so I was like a double type of Boston / Ottawa. “
31-year-old Albertson did not need a very convincing need. The veteran of more than 20 marathons, he was running backwards, and the Andersen field was definitely landing.
“It seemed like a nice course and some other people say good things about the race,” said Albertson. “So I’m doubling in the past. Time was processed. “
Both athletes adapted their training so that they could reach the peak of Boston, to get a short recovery, and then resume their training for Ottawa. For a rest, his first race, which operated under Johnathan Green, was a success that broke Boston. Linkletter caused a rise to half and finished sixth in the best personal field 2:07:02, the fastest marathon in Canada.
“Boston was our first great moment when things were really clicked, and that was great,” said the hearth about his relationship with green. “It was sweet.”
Linkletter, 28, represented by Canada both in the World Athletics Championships and 2024 Olympics, was quickly restored from Boston.
“Frankly, I was training four or five days after training, and I immediately felt quite well,” said the offletic. “We are just really careful, my coach, just about our approach, that our approach is very deeply racial approaches.”
Linkletter changed his thinking about Boston because he was looking forward to Ottawa. The Boston Marathon has been formed as part of its own Ottawa preparations.
“Boston was a huge race and a huge stimulus of training,” the link explained. “I was like how I stay healthy and fresh to return to the same place again.
Albertson had experience of similar recovery. Boston also didn’t go for him either (he finished 14th and the fourth American was 2: 10:16), but he resumed his normal training quickly.
“Now I run twenty-something,” said Albertson. “You are sorry for a few days, then you are quite returning to normal three days later. It was very much bought in Boston. “
The two athletes said they were here in Ottawa to compete at the end of the chair. The elite field is headed by Kenyan Veteran Albert Corire, the 2019 Ottawa Champion, which should have done to work on the Boston Marathon, but had to scratch with an ankle injury. Linkletter said he’s running to win.
“My goal is to win, but I think success is like a victory competition,” Oki said. “You know that being as long as possible in the leading group as possible, and at some point you try to win the race.
Albertson felt the same way.
“I think we are going to go out 2:07 pace,” said Albertson. “So I’ll just try to hang out with the box as long as possible. Then, the second half of the race, when the pans go out, just see what I can do. ” He added:
The weather must play a significant role. Unlike last year’s race, when sunny, warm and humid, this year runners will be widely used in the most expensive sky, at first 9C / 48F temperature. Linkletter said these conditions should allow his fitness to be displayed.
“Everything is about fast and competing,” said the offlete. “If you are a controlled parameter, the Fitter usually wins. You add variables such as heat, hills, moisture and items, it’s wrong.
Albertson believed that warmer conditions could give him an edge. Albertson lighted the blocks in the US 20244 Olympic team in the hot and sunny second half, taking the end of the ninth place.
“Competition-wise, maybe I would go less hotter,” Albertson said. “I’m doing very well. But it’s nice to have quite perfect conditions, and it’s fun to run fast. “
The winners of the race will earn CAD 20,000 ($ 14,560). It should be won, he will earn CAD 3000 as the first Canadian and Special Pride Rights, as the first Canadian man will win in Ottawa (the last champion on the men’s side. It is optimistic, especially after his breakthrough.
“I hope you have to cry with the last 10 K of Bhutton last 10 K.
