I signed up for the Paris Marathon on April 12, 2026.
-
Yes. Fruen havde varm kakao klar (efter jeg lige havde slæbt et skab, som hun solgte på DBA, udenfor).
Alt er godt, men det her sne-sjap-sjask må gerne forsvinde meget hurtigt.

This run was supposed to be a celebration.
Instead, it was a series of challenges. Snow, slush, soaked shoes, headwinds, heavy legs, cold, clouds.
I flipped the script. I had done this before. I had chosen to do it. I told myself to enjoy it. I did.
Overcoming a challenge is what makes a win. I struggled, and the run was a series of wins.
#52WEEKS52HALFMARATHONS COMPLETE!
This was my celebration of #running.
Distance: 23.74k
Pace: 5'39"#CPH42 in 76 days.
A nice and inspirational run with @coachbennett and Shalane Flanagan (in the #NikeRunClub app) through a dark and humid morning.
This was a good one, and even though I did not quite find my rhythm, I had a blast. Kept it easy and increased the effort slightly throughout.
"After winter must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
Everything is everything"Distance: 7.31k

This morning, there was no plan. I got out the door, turned right, and then improvised from there. I knew I had to cover at least half-marathon distance, but that was all.
The humidity was high, and I carried one layer of clothes too many, so the run was a little hard. I took it as an opportunity to train keeping up the mood while pushing through hard effort. The past years of training truly pay off.

Kæmpe præstation igen igen.
Men som du skriver, så er det efterhånden ved at være en selvfølge! På sin vis.
Jeg har tænkt meget over tøj til i morgen, det er svært at fornemme i dette vejr præcis hvor meget tøj der passer.
Er det med væske på ryggen?

Tak. Og ja, det er spøjst, hvad man kan normalisere.
Ang. tøj: I går løb jeg med tre lag på overkroppen + lange bukser og shorts (men uden væskevest). Pga. luftfugtigheden og temperaturen var det ufornuftigt, for jeg svedte meget og blev noget tørstig undervejs. Så dér lærte jeg noget.
Påklædning ér bøvlet for tiden. Skulle jeg løbe et 5k-løb i dag, ville jeg nok klæde mig let på - men så til gengæld sørge for grundig opvarmning og for at have tørt/varmt tøj klar til efter løbet.

Tak for info om løbet i går!
Jeg overvejer lagene, det bliver nok de korte bukser og en tshirt, med pandebånd og halsedisse for at have lidt modstand mod kulden rundt om hovedet.
Grundig opvarmning og tørt tøj lyder smart! Det vil jeg huske i dag!

Det lyder fornuftigt - men afhænger naturligvis også af de lokale forhold.
Hvordan føles benene - er de klar? Er du klar? Og hvad er strategien i dag? Har du en plan, eller er det bare YOLO derudad i fuld firspring?
Knæk og bræk! Keep us posted. Og husk (om muligt) at nyde det.

Benene har det fint, er lidt øm i skulderen, men jeg har nok kigget dårligt i nat, det skal bare varmes op.
Jeg har fået morgenmad og har vand og banan klar til pre-race optankning.
Under 25 er strategien, men tempo ca 5:10 den første km. Fokus på at starte roligt nok!
Fuld forspring virker kun på 60 meter! Selv 100 meter er for langt synes jeg
Og ja, så skal jeg prøve at nyde det!

Just me, Coach Bennett, The War on Drugs, and an easy 5k morning run.
In a time of turmoil, this is (one of) my way(s) to find peace.

Another morning run.
I dropped my kid off at school and then continued running for about an hour. Throughout the second half of it, I cranked my effort up slightly beyond my comfort zone, training my ability to push further on long runs.
One question from English Gardener stuck with me through the run: "If your dream were to come true this moment, here and now - would you be ready?" Would you? Would I?

Beautiful weather and great question!
I don't think I am right now!
Well done on pushing yourself a bit, will you do intervals at higher pace going into the last week's of training before the Copenhagen marathon?
-

Yes, intervals are on the program soon. They are not what the #NikeRunClub app does best, as it does not register the light running that takes place between the intervals - but it is what it is.

Is it because of the "auto pause" feature? Or something completely different?

#52weeks52halfmarathons is done, but I'm keeping the habit alive as I train for Copenhagen Marathon in two months.
Edit: the first half of the run, I felt sluggish and did not catch the wave. But I changed my playlist and made a challenge out of running against the wind, and so I managed to turn things around and make this run fun again.
Happy International Women's Day!!

It was a humid and cold morning, so the fog was heavy. Nevertheless, this run was a nice one.
This was an easy run, but to mix things up I added three hard sprints where I turned the effort to 9.5/10. The challenge was not so much the sprints as the aftermath (where I had to keep the pace steady rather let my tired legs slow down). It was fun.

A long run through the morning.
My training program has moved into the longest distances (21.1+), which is nice. My form is as it should be, I think, and today I was even able to increase pace through the last five km.
The weather is tricky now. Too warm and humid for a lot of clothes, but 2.5hrs ago it was too cold to wear less. There is much more light, though.
This was a good run, and I enjoyed it.

Way to go Aske!
Strong finish!
And yes, it's a gamble out there with the weather, for me it's always the wind that tricks me because I forgot to look at that part of the weather forecast
