Road to Valencia – Episode 8 | Race Week

The final week of the Road to Marathon series, and nothing went as planned. After weeks of consistent training and feeling in the best shape of his life, race week finally arrived. But just days before the Valencia Marathon, Kristoffer picked up a sickness that changed everything. With only three short sessions early in the week, the focus shifted from performance to simply getting healthy enough to stand on the start line. The journey to Valencia didn’t help either. A seven-hour delay in Amsterdam meant missed connections, long waits, and a late arrival the night before race weekend. Despite the uncertainty, the trip itself had some bright moments. New friends, familiar faces, and a calm Saturday in Valencia offered a small sense of hope before race day. On Sunday, Kristoffer decided to give it a try, starting a little slower than planned and listening closely to the body. The first half went smoothly, but as the race progressed, it became clear that health had to come first. The decision to stop wasn’t easy, but it was the right one. This episode isn’t about results, it’s about honesty, experience, and learning how small margins really are in marathon running. 🎯 This episode includes: – The reality of race week sickness – Traveling to Valencia under pressure – A steady start — and a tough decision – Behind-the-scenes moments before and after the race – Why this won’t be the last marathon attempt 🎽 About this series: Kristoffer Ingebrigtsen takes you behind the scenes of marathon training while balancing a full-time job, travel, and everyday life.
