Peter Herzog, Austria's marathon record holder, cannot participate in the Vienna City Marathon on April 6th. The Salzburg native canceled his planned start at the Vienna Marathon on Thursday.
"The last four weeks have not been very great. I kept getting sick, so the time was marked by inactivity," said Peter Herzog on Thursday via social media. The 37-year-old had to admit that starting at the Vienna Marathon would not make sense.
Cancellation for Vienna Marathon is Difficult for Peter Herzog
The cancellation is very difficult for the 37-year-old: "Especially in Vienna, the appreciation is always very high and I have always felt very comfortable there." If he recovers enough to meet his training schedule again, a start at the Salzburg Marathon on May 18th would be the new plan for spring.
