I signed up for the Paris Marathon on April 12, 2026.

Just an easy morning run to the bakery and back again.
This run very much had a positive split - as running with a big bag of bread does nothing good for the pace...
Distance: 5.60k
Pace: 5'49"Another morning, another easy run.

Pace: 5'27"Another easy morning run. It was a beautiful morning, and this was truly enjoyable.
This should have been 23k by the sea, but our plans changed and I postponed it to Sunday.
With this run, I passed 5,000k covered since I began #running seriously three years ago. What a time to be alive. Thank you, @coachbennett and the #running community!

Pace: 5'30"Back from vacation on Falster, I went for an easy afternoon run.
My wife and kid wanted to go to the library, so they tagged along for the first 1.5k or so. Result: instead of easing into the run, I jumped right into a tempo run.
It was challenging, but also a lot of fun.

Pace: 5'12"A long morning run to end my week of #running every day. It has been nice to run so much, and my recovery seems better than expected. Even so, my legs need a day or two of rest now.
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.
With heavy legs and hard headwinds, I enjoyed the challenge of this run. It was a good one.
Distance: 22.96k

I'm impressed
And nice touch to run (some of) the road race route for Danmark Rundt 🤩

Pace: 5'45"A hard evening fartlek with a stomach full of smash burger and loaded fries - what could possibly go wrong?
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
45 sec on/45 sec recovery
10 min cool-down and then homeDistance: 6.05k
Pace: 5'20" -

Pace: 5'20"As the sunmer holidays draw to an end (and the summer weather had certainly already left...), I did a morning run.
The first 9k were easy whereas the last ~2.5k turned into a hard tempo run. I hadn't planned for it, but I got carried away and it was just fun. According to my app, I also did my fastest 1k somewhere out there today.
Distance: 11.38k

Seems like you need to apply yourself on the track when vacation is over and your daughter restarts the athletic/gymnastics again
Does it say what your tempo was for that 1k?
(Yes, I'm curious and nosy 
) -

(Yes, I'm curious and nosy )Yes - apparently, I did 1k in 4'27" somewhere on today's run (down from 4'28"). Not sure when it happened, but it was likely when I tried to catch up with some guys on bikes and succeeded.
When her athletics training starts again soon, I'll also be back on the tracks twice a week. This means more structured speed-work for me, even though I do prefer long runs. But a little less conversation, a little more action will probably go a long way in my preparation for Malmö Marathon (Oct3).

Ah yes! The Malmö marathon! I have that written into my calendar and at some point I forgot why. I'm definitely not running it!
But then I remembered that you had that planned.
It will be interesting to see how you do, and if you're trying to see if you can beat the experiences from earlier marathons 🤩

Distance: 11.38k
Pace: 5'25"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.
Distance: 26.85k

That's a massive run Aske! Very well done, seems like you're also on top of the details with water and energy for the training you're doing!

Pace: 5'37"Rise and shine and another run.
This should have been just an easy one, but because it was a cold morning I dialed the effort up and pushed myself more than I had planned to to keep warm. It made the run more challenging - but also more fun!
Distance: 5.89k
Pace: 5'08""Ready let's roll into something new!"

@askekammer
Great work!
"All work and no play makes Aske a dull boy"
Changing it up and pushing it a bit sounds like something that will also make sure that you're in great shape for the marathon.
I hope you have energy for the rest of the day

@askekammer Det er en god længde og pace for en easy run. Det tyder da på et godt maraton om 50 dage.

Tak!
Jeg skulle egentlig have løbet 10km, men mave-bøvl skar lige de sidste fire runder af turen. Sådan er det.
Men: Grundformen er god, og jeg er forsigtigt optimistisk mht. Malmö Maraton. Det bliver helt sikkert ikke i dette tempo, men mindre kan også gøre det.

Jeg sælger den gerne for 5:39/km
