I signed up for the Paris Marathon on April 12, 2026.
-
An easy and icy morning run.
For the first half, I could not really find my groove. It was ... ok, I guess. But when I then switched my music from Rosalía ("Lux") to The War on Drugs, I hit it bullseye and had a great run.
Distance: 8.21k
Pace: 5'31"#ParisMarathon in 81 days.
It was a dark and terribly stormy morning, and to the beat of LCD Soundsystem's "45:33" I did a fartlek:
- 6:00 warm-up
- 2 x 1:30 @ 7/10 effort
- 4 x 1:00 @ 8/10
- 4 x 0:30 @ 9/10
- 4 x 0:15 @ 10/10
- warm-down until I got homeIt was hard, and I got to really push myself, and it was fun, and I look forward to soon do it again.
Distance: 4.97k + some more not registered by the #NikeRunClub app
Pace: 5'15"#ParisMarathon in 79 days. Getting there.

This night, we had quite a lot of snow (by Danish standards), so this morning run turned out to be a somewhat technically challenging one. But challenges are fun, and I got to enjoy the beauty of the quiet morning. This is my meditation; I am recharged.
Take care out there, people.
Stay strong.
Stay sane.

Nyfalden sne uden indgriben fra andre mennesker, wauw det virker som en dejlig tur.
Selvfølgelig lidt sværere at se kantsten og lignende, men jeg tror du kender området godt derude
Godt kommet ud!

Snow and black ice kept me from giving it all, but this was a (hard and) fun morning fartlek nonetheless:
- 5:00 warm-up
- 2 × 1:30 @ 6/10 effort
- 3 x 1:00 @ 8/10
- 4 × 0:30 @ 9/10
- 5 x 0:15 @ 11/10
- easy running home
(in-between the intervals: recovery run effort)"Hey, I'ma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves."Distance: 5.21k

Well done!
It's tricky to find the safe spots for running these days, rather have a slightly less productive run today, than not run at all during recovery from an injury!

Stage 49 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.
This was a difficult run with hard winds and snow blowing; with wind chill, it was a freezing -16°c. So today, I trained endurance. #EveryRunHasAPurpose
Despite (or because of) the low temperatures, this was a beautiful countryside morning. And being able to stay in control and even increase the pace throughout the last 6k (where I ran against the wind) was a major win today.
Distance: 21.68k

It's beautiful today, at least when watching from the cozyness of the couch

Bad news: #ParisMarathon is off (for me).
The combination of an excrutiating workload the next half year and sickness in my immediate family means that I had to cancel my travel and withdraw my participation. No need to sugarcoat it: it sucks! I had really looked forward to it, but the ends just do not meet. I feel very sorry for myself today.
I did a run this stormy morning nonetheless. Ever onwards.

@askekammer det var ærgerligt. Jeg må dog sige, du holder en god fart i dette møgvejr og føre.

Tak.
Føret var helt ok i dag (men lad os nu se, hvor meget sne der kommer i morgen), og blæsten er god til at træne udholdenhed.

@askekammer nåeh. Blæsten er udholdenhed. Derfor er jeg, efter lidt sygdom mv nu nede i et all-time low, hvor uret siger træningseffekten er fraværende.

With the snow, the lights, the silence and calm of the world not yet awake, and Brahms' "Ein deutsches Requiem", this was a majestically beautiful morning run.
It was also hard, because I had to plow myself through 10-15cm of fresh snow for much of the run, and it was challenging and fun.
It was just what I needed.

To mix things up, I took the train to Friheden and ran home this morning.
This turned out to be a difficult one, as most of the pavements and bicycle lanes were covered by a soup of snow, slush, and salt, and underneath it was a layer of ice. I'm not a big fan of #running on slippery surfaces; NO ICE!
A run is a run, nonetheless, and this was good training.
This was also stage 50 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.
Distance: 25.02k
