@folfdk SPOT on
. I had 2 x sleep 
events 
. Thank you for following along 
Shoes were PERFECT
🤩Glad to hear that the shoes worked with you instead of against you. That's one of my biggest worries when I'm running longer (Well... Shorter) distances (like half marathon).
I hope you'll recover well and be able to sleep later
(I guess that NOT gonna be a problem ) -
@WTL thank you
- I had the best type 2 fun 🤩@moelholm I approve then!
-
@nerdd it was indeed very silly
. But there were 800 in total ish over all the different races yesterday. 85 I believe started the Danish championship… so it is nice to be among fellow silly folks. In fact I think I spottet a lot of friend pairs that just decided to take on these hour challenge (3,6,12,24) 🤩
@moelholm Yeah, it’s always great being among your own kin
And I bet it is a lot of fun regardless of how many hours it is

And I bet it is a lot of fun regardless of how many hours it is @nerdd it is a very social format I can only recommend. And you decide the breaks - so it is only as tough as you make it yourself 🥳

I got sleep - and I appreciated it. But in all honesty it can be difficult to have good sleep after ultras. The body is in some weird mode where it doesn’t let you fully relax
. But I’ve tried it before - it goes over quickly … a few days and it’s back to normal -
Very close!!
Extreme event! Can't imagine the top three with all those extra km in the bag! Looks like some of them didn't waste time sleeping!
@folfdk haha thanks
. Yeah what we see here are levels of much more hardcore ultra runners. The top folks seem to be able to cope better with the muscular breakdown. I think that sort of resilience takes multiple years of good training. The ones above me on that list are amazing endurance athletes. The 2 first ones Emil and Katja are a total league of their own. I was so impressed at their comfort pace .. and not only that …but at the comfort pace that they could keep throughout 🤯 -
@moelholm ooohh dot watching \o/

Enjoy!!
@askekammer thank you

That's a true iron lady! As far as I could tell she's battling with Stine Rex on the long distances. Impressive!
And yes, definitely takes a long time to build that kind of base endurance.
Pretty badass that you're mixing in with the best ultra runners in Denmark
