I ran the Jacob Van Maerlant Route, unsupported in quite good conditions. 14°C, no big winds and a some drizzling rain.
Considering myself as a 'runner' for a couple of years now, I'm trying to push myself to ultramarathon distances. I picked the Jacob Van Maerlant Route in preparation for next summer ultra distances as I know the area and know how beautifull running is at country side at the north of West-Vlaanderen, heading into Zeeland and also touching 'Het Meetjesland' as where my roots are.
Really happy with the legs and conditions on this day, I was able to held the pace quite well over the complete distance.
All paths are really good to run on and most are asphalted roads.
Nice to have a river crossing on a floating deck by a hand drivin handle.
Enjoy! :p
