Gerda Steyn Destroys Field and Comrades “Up” Record!

Comrades 2019
One is running out of superlatives to describe the running exploits of Gerda Steyn. But maybe “majestic” would do for the 2019 Comrades Marathon.
With the course shrouded in mist and the occasional drizzle falling, the positions remained the same for a while, but just before the second checkpoint at 29.5 km Steyn took over the lead — for good, as it turned out.
Aygul Mingazova (UKR), 2016 winner Charné Bosman, Jenna Challenor and Noora Honkala (FIN) rounded out the top ten, but the latter was already almost 16 minutes behind the flying Steyn.
For only the third time ever, the first ten women all finished in under 7 hours (in 2017 the last gold medal was won in 7:05:55). There were five South Africans in the top ten.

Noora Honkalan uusi ultrajuoksun 12 tunnin Suomen ennätys on samalla myös Pohjoismaiden ennätys.
ULTRAJUOKSIJA Noora Honkalan, 26, kausi on lähtenyt liikkeelle hyvissä merkeissä. Kreikassa asuva ja harjoitteleva lohjalaislähtöinen ultrajuoksija juoksi pääsiäisenä uuden Suomen ennätyksen 12 tunnin ultrajuoksussa. Honkalan 12 tunnin aikana takoma matka, 135 kilometriä ja 786 metriä on samalla myös uusi Pohjoismaiden ennätys.
”Fiilis on tosi hyvä, ottaen huomioon, että kisa ei ollut helppo, vaikeuksia oli vatsan kanssa sadan kilometrin tietämillä”, Honkala sanoo.

JUOKSU Ultrajuoksija Noora Honkala oli liikuttunut Kaarina Rata Ultra -juoksun 12 tunnin urakan päätyttyä.
– Oli tosi vaikea päivä. Kroppa ei toiminut, neste jäi vatsaan kellumaan enkä saanut energiaa tankattua. Juoksu ja kroppa alkoivat toimia vasta 110 kilometrin kohdalla, huokaisi lopulta Pohjoismaiden ennätysjahdissaan onnistunut Honkala.
Honkalan lopullinen tulos oli 135,7 kilometriä. Uusi Pohjoismaiden ennätys.
– Todella helpottunut olo, kun ennätys tuli. Alkumatkan pahoinvointi onneksi väistyi ja sain lopulta hyvän suorituksen aikaan.

Recap: Napoli Half Marathon
24.2.2019
Napoli, Italy
After Saturday’s press meeting and talking with Elite athletes, the topic in the air was “this race will be cold and windy”!
Sunday morning at 5am.
Wind was still strong, gusting nearly 85km/h. and temperature 6°C. Not the ideal weather for anyone. Nevertheless, I felt ready as I could be. All that hard training past few months and now I was about to put that in test.
At the starting line, I don’t think anyone liked the fact that it was gusting the wind directly to us and we had to start running against the wind for the first good half of the race.
9am. And we where off!
Its rather fun to see, when mens are running 2:50/km. (and yes I did felt a bit slow).
First 6km I placed myself behind some of the Elite runners, as the wind was pounding all of us. About on the 8km point my “engine” started to warm-up and I felt very good and smooth. My running was firm and I could keep 3:45-4:00/km pace.
First 10km was flat 39:00min. and from that point to 15km, my running was everything I wanted; easy, smooth, great rhythm and technique as practiced. Closer to the end, after 17-19km small uphill section, I was able to pull my strongest kilometre, 3:40min/km.
Overall I had exactly the same time by second from the first and the second half of the race. At the finish line, I was one happy runner. Beating my personal best over 6 minutes and placing on these “tough” conditions top.10.
2019 Season could not have a better start!

Recap Barcelona
I came to the race with full confident and well prepared. So I can’t say it was disappointment in any level.
My first few hours I maintained the pace my coach and I planned and I felt very strong. After first turning (3h mark) something change and I started to feel pain at my hip and hamstring. It reminded me the time before my disc operation just few months before. Nevertheless I kept running as I had no shortage of energy and I felt strong, but after a while my coach decided to pull me in and discuss about the growing pain. Then after 4.5h my coach pulled me out. Total 57.9km.
Looking back, I think this was wise decision from my coach.
Some battles are not meant to be fought.
I’ve proven myself, that I have mental and physical endurance what it takes to achieve the top world level and my coach taught me the lesson, not to jeopardise the greater goal by sacrificing all in single event.

World ultra running superstar and Aquapetra's Sporting Ambassador returns to defend her Sorrento -Positano 54 km title.
1.12.2018
PRESS
AQUAPETRA Press.
At 7.00 am, 2nd December 2018, Finland’s Noora Honkala will line up in Sorrento, to defend her 54 km ultra marathon title.
Expectations for this year’s race are high. In her debut race last year, Noora smashed the course record, beating her nearest rival, Elide del Sindaco, by more than 20 minutes. Since then, Noora has gone from strength to strength and despite major surgery, 2018 has been a landmark year in her career.
Noora Honkala is an extraordinary athlete, who first captured the world’s attention by becoming the youngest woman in history to complete the legendary 250km Spartathlon, a race she has completed three times. In May 2018, she rose to No.1 in the world for the 6 hour run, followed by an 8th place at her first 100km World Championships in Croatia (September) and 7th place at the Athens Classic Marathon.
‘My coach first brought me to Aquapetra following last year’s coast to coast run. It is a very special place, the perfect retreat. The whole team supported my recovery and I returned home, relaxed and free of the physical effects that are part and parcel of our brutal sport. From this visit, we began working with Aquapetra to create comprehensive fitness, nutrition and recovery programmes for their guests. We have adapted these programmes from most effective holistic performance methodologies my coach designs for my training. Whilst the goals of Aquapetra’s guests may be varied – better posture, higher levels of fitness, weight loss, detox and raised levels of general health and wellbeing, creating the guiding framework for personalised fitness and health programmes is something I always hoped to be involved in following my career as an athlete. To have already begun this fascinating work is beyond a dream. My degree is in Sports Science and my coach, Sami Vaskola, has helped so many top level athletes and business leaders attain their goals. Together with the Aquapetra team, we have all the ingredients for world class provision. Watch this space!’
Aquapetra Resort & Spa is the Sannio’s leading luxury relais, formed from the hamlet of Montepugliano that dates back to the late 18th Century. Set over 60 hectares of woodland and olive groves in the heart of Sannio wine country, the resort combines 42 suites, a state of the art Spa & Anti Aging Centre and a Michelin starred restaurant, centred on the territory’s superb produce. Aquapetra is a life’s work of high architecture and design that effortlessly blends ancient and contemporary elements.

Ensi sunnuntaina 26-vuotias juoksee samassa kilpailussa, jossa tavoitteena on jälleen voitto – palkinnoista huolimatta.
”Ihana päästä juoksemaan se uudestaan. Reitti on haastava, siinä on paljon ylä- ja alamäkiä, mutta se on uskomattoman kaunis”, Honkala sanoo HS:lle puhelimitse matkalla Ateenan lentokentälle Kreikasta, jossa hän asuu ja harjoittelee.
Juoksun lähtöpaikka on Sorrentossa, josta juostaan Positanoon ja takaisin. Reitillä on nousua 1 477 metriä.
