15 minutes of the treadmill. Living the dream...

I could have run further. I am in good shape, and I am restless, so I really wanted to push it and keep going. But I knew I should not.

A run is a run. Working my way back to long runs might take some time, but it is definitely worth it.

Onwards.

Thank you, Sebastian.

The physiotherapist is great and clearly knows what she is doing. She still does not know what this is, though, but she is optimistic, and so am I. I will see her again on Wednesday, so we are moving forward.

But man - not going for long runs is taking a mental toll.

Hope you are feeling better.

I warmed-up thoroughly before the race, yet I was very nervous at the starting line. How would this go?

I planned to run easy.

And then I raced the fastest 5k of my adult life. 🚨 NEW PR @ 23:48! 🚨

I raced my frustrations, self-pity, and anger. I raced my worry about what this is. I let loose. I enjoyed every second. And my leg didn't hurt.

I needed this. I'm don't know if racing hard was a smart move, but I'm glad I went to the race today.

A short evening run to test my left-leg quadriceps. They still ache, even though I kept it slow. And I only had time for a brief run.

Not doing Malmö Marathon yesterday also means breaking my steak of 83 consecutive weeks with a 21.1k-or-longer run. Truth be told, I'm a little sad about that.

However, looking forward, we're now discussing marathon destinations for 2027. Rome, Stockholm, and Amsterdam are on the table.

I should race Malmö Marathon today - but my left quadriceps ached too much yesterday for me to go. It's not too bad now, but I won't risk full-on injury through 42.2km.

I really, really wanted this race. I'm doing a lot of motivated reasoning right now about why participating would actually be a good idea.

But it wouldn't.

And I know that. Not participating is the right decision. Better safe than sorry and all that. There will be other races.

The last shake-out run before Malmö Marathon the day after tomorrow.

Kid was sick today, so it became an evening run (after dinner), and that just never works really well for me. I'm a morning person.

Nevertheless, it all went well. I ran a bit faster than I had planned.

However, my left leg is still not exactly at 100%. I look forward to the race on Saturday, but I recalibrate my expectations and measurements of success.

For what it's worth: starting with the wrong start group (which I think I saw in another post happened yesterday) can seriously mess up your race. Racing may still not be for you, and that's cool, but being caught among people with the wrong pace certaibly doesn't help.

Racing Malmö Marathon in the weekend, I'm curious to see how their "mass start without specific starting groups" will work out. I expect the first few km to be ... interesting.

I started the day with an early long run (to get it done in time before the baptism of my nephew).

It was hard. My left leg felt tired almost before I began, and there were headwinds for the first 7k. Then I did a gazillion(/16) laps on the tracks and ran back home. It got better, the longer I ran.

This was not the run I hoped for, but that is just how it is sometimes. Onwards.

On the #WRRC 21.1k, I broke one of the time limits I have long eyed but not really believed I could touch. Finishing in 1:49:40, I beat that limit with 20 sec and improved my PR with 1:46.

Crossing the finish line, knowing I did this, was a pristine feeling of pure joy. I'm so happy.

I had four goals for the race:
1. Focus on joyful running ✅
2. Stay in control of my race ✅
3. Finish in less than 1:55:00 ✅

It *is* a big deal - but also just another run. I race Malmö Marathon in 2 weeks, and this is also training for that. And I race Sydkystløbet (21.1k) in 3 weeks and will chase a PR there. So today is both a goal in itself and a step on the way.

That said, I want to achieve four things:
1. Focus on joyful running

One last run before the 21.1k World Championship on Sunday. Of course this would be an easy run, just shaking-out and keeping the legs active without doing anything hard. Don't push it now, right.

Or you could do a 1k warm-up, 3k tempo run, 1k cool-down.

I know it probably was not smart to do the latter. But I felt good and I wanted to do something fast and fun. I had a blast.

No regrets.

This morning, I did a 35-minutes tempo run to train stamina. I pushed for a hard (but not all-out) effort, and I kept it up throughout the run. What a nice way to start the day.

I was also pleasantly reminded of how R.E.M.'s "Supernatural Superserious" is an amazing song for some fast #running.

This was my 101st run this year.

We live 30 km south of Copenhagen (in Solrød Strand), and I work 30 km west (by Roskilde) - so I am not really close enough, I am afraid. Depends on how long you are staying, of course.

If you want to do a cool long run in Copenhagen, Amarminoen (27k, google it) is what I would recommend. It will include some commute, but you can either start of finish in Dragør which has a wonderful (small) old neighborhood.

I started the day with a cruel 1-hour treadmill exercise through "rolling hills."

The treadmill and the #NikeRunClub app were in huge disagreement about the metrics of the run. The former seemed somewhat conservative, which tricked me into running harder than usually.

More than anything, this was endurance training. And I am glad I did it.

A nice and long morning run.

I got up early to get this run in before the planned family activities. The world was still quiet, and I did not meet other runners (or people in general) until the last quarter of my run. I met wild rabbits.

It took some time before my body settled into the run. So I ran this one on experience and did not really push myself at any point. It was fine.

I did a long morning run, and it was amazing. I found my flow already after around 3k, and I basically just stayed in that semi-meditative state for the next couple of hours.

Out there, I passed a lot of cyclists, some cows, a few other runners (yeah!), and one train.

It was a bit warmer than expected, so I got slightly dehydrated. It was never a problem, but I did pour down a lot of liquid first thing after I got home.

Not much, surprisingly. It was a bit harder than usually, but it was great fun anyway. I'm glad I did it.

The fartlek was pyramid style:
10 min warm-up
45 sec on/45 sec recovery
60 sec on/60 sec recovery
90 sec on/90 sec recovery
60 sec on/60 sec recovery

For 17k, I followed today's stage of the Danmark Rundt cycling race (from Køge to Hastrup) before heading home. Interesting to follow the setup of the race.

I'm happy with them, and I think they make me a little faster. I will say, though, that they are much better for roads than trails, so for mixed-surfaces runs like today, I need some other shoes.
