– I only know happiness. My face is a big smile, says Vera Nystad to news. She is on the bus on the way home to Norway. The bus trip will be no problem when she has brought home a world record in her luggage. 3.38.58 is the new world code for women aged 75-79. She thus beat her own record by one minute. – I felt very good. It is an easy trail in Berlin. The first time I ran there I felt that it was 30 kilometers on a slight downhill. The last 12 are flat. So I thought I might be able to do it, she says. I don’t think she can run faster But running a marathon is hard anyway. And it was a battle against itself again. But an inner voice gave motivation and help. – A man said to me before the race, “go to the basement, you always have more strength”. I kept telling myself that. “Go to the basement, go to the basement, go to the basement. There is more power”. And that was it, he says. The southerner will participate in several competitions this season. But she herself believes she has achieved her best result. – I actually don’t think I can get down any further. You have to have the day and everything has to be perfect, says Nystad. Vera Nystad’s marathon times make the experts gape. – Completely incomprehensible. A role model for everything and everyone, says news’s Jann Post. Night run at “granca” In 14 days she will run a marathon in Chicago in the USA. Later, he will run 10 kilometers in Gran Canaria. She emphasizes that there will be little room for being a charter tourist. – There will be little time for refreshments, food and drink. Here it will be pure sprinting, says Nystad about the 10 kilometers that will take place at night. Her old record was set during the Jølster Marathon last summer. It was at 3.39.51.
