Robert Sets Records on the Track

6 Mar

Switching from trails to the track, Robert participated in the 6 Hour Track Race in Barcelona, Spain, with the goal of setting Romanian national records for the 6 hours and for 50 miles.

Mission accomplished - after a massive effort, he completed 87.284 km to set the new Romanian National Record. He ran the 50 miles in 5h 33m 23s for a national record as well. All this after overcoming some mid-race struggles and pushing on in the final third to get back on track for his goals. A fantastic effort in a new running environment and great speed work ahead of some mountain ultras later this year.
