Breaking PB: Hanam 10km Marathon Completion Review

I'm a 10-year veteran runner <span>#runninghaeyoung</span>. I recently completed a 10km marathon at Hanam Misa Equestrian Park. Last year, I ran 30km, but this year's Breaking PB was attractive in both price and distance, so I'll compare it to last year's marathon.

Location and Price

Location-wise, it's convenient if you have a private car or taxi, but public transportation doesn't reach the stadium, so you have to walk quite a bit. Marathon runners usually accumulate many marathon commemorative shirts, and there was an essential section which offered a wide selection. (<span>The essential section is for on-site collection</span>)

Sponsor Booths

At marathon events, you can't miss the sponsor booths. I saw carbon racing shoes from the Italian brand Diadora and WTD, a sports eyewear brand with 43 years of history.

There was also a taping booth where you could get taped before starting. (I didn't.)

Elite Marathon Runner Pacers

This is one of the biggest advantages of the Breaking PB Marathon. There are pacers who are former elite marathon runners, and from this year, there are even 7-minute pacers, making it a good opportunity for first-time marathoners or those who want to try LSD training.

10km Start

We started in groups according to our pace. I started in the 5:30 pace group and finished with a 5:00 pace. Each pace group moved separately, and the course wasn't too narrow or too wide, but because the pace was set, it was rather smooth. If you wanted to increase your pace, you just had to move forward.

One downside was the slightly poor condition of the ground at the halfway point... Come to think of it, this part was always bad last year too, so runners need to be careful. 🥲

There are so many pictures because it's a loop course. LOL! <span>#KiwiUncle</span> is the best! I did a lot of intervals the day before, so unfortunately I didn't achieve a PB, but I had a breathless workout.

I recommend the RunCop Breaking PB Marathon for runners aiming to improve their time, runners who find it difficult to train alone, or runners who want to practice running at their target pace in an actual race.
