It is only in recent years that organisers have begun tallying participants with institutions, and the UCPH record means the fastest since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>It is just a &#8216;hobby&#8217; for him, Rasmus Trap Wolf re-assures the University Post, but the UCPH runner was the 15th fastest round the course \u2013 a spot usually reserved for the world\u2019s fastest athletes. He shaved 10 minutes off the previous UCPH record holder&#8217;s time, Theis L\u00e6ss\u00f8e who had clocked 02:45:01 in 2014\u2019s marathon. <\/p>\n<p>Hot on Wolf\u2019s heels was another UCPH runner, David Westermann (30th), four minutes behind the UCPH leader. The runners were the only students in the top 30, outstripping runners Morten Kj\u00e6r from AAU (69th place) and CBS\u2019s Thomas Wriedt (137th). <\/p>\n<h2>It was all a bet<\/h2>\n<p>In the women\u2019s field, UCPH slipped behind Aarhus University\u2019s Fie S\u00f8nderby Christensen at 3:09:34 and CBS\u2019s Anna-Bertha Heeris Christensen at 3:19:14. UCPH runner Signe Bundgaard Lassen finished 63rd with a time of 3:21:52.<\/p>\n<p>Running wasn\u2019t at the top of his agenda until a friend dared him to try a marathon, according to Rasmus. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I ran my first marathon when I was 19. It was all down to a bet! After that I didn\u2019t run at all for about three years until someone challenged me to run another marathon under three hours. Well I lost that bet big time &#8211; I had to walk for 15k&#8221;, he admitted. But these setbacks only pushed him on, &#8220;it got me highly motivated and I\u2019ve been running ever since then.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Related: <a href=\"node\/29542\/\" target=\"blank\">Hundreds of students to run Copenhagen marathon<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Training regime<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;In this year\u2019s race, there was quite a big group running together around the 30 km mark &#8211; that\u2019s when the race really begun. A group of four of us managed to pull away from the rest but I ran out of energy around the 37 km mark and had to let the other three go. From there I was just trying to minimise the difference between them and me. It was tough at points but really great!&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Rasmus ran in the 2014 marathon. but &#8220;had lots of problems with injuries before the CPH marathon last year. So this year I\u2019ve learnt to run flat footed instead of landing on my heel.&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Behind Rasmus\u2019 stunning race was a vigorous training regime. &#8220;A fellow public health student and excellent runner put together a training programme which I followed for the last three months before the marathon&#8221;, said Rasmus. &#8220;I slowly built up the amount of km I was getting done each week, starting out with 10 km per week and ending up at 80 km each week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A total of 208 UCPH students made it across the finish line. <a href=\"http:\/\/live.ultimate.dk\/desktop\/front\/index.php?eventid=2601\" target=\"_blank\">Results of the 2015 Copenhagen marathon are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you have a good story?
