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

This was a hard fartlek to start the day with: two minutes of hard running, one of easy, repeated seven times over. This was fun.
Fittingly, my soundtrack was Springsteen:
"And hard times come, hard times go
Hard times come, hard times go
And hard times come, hard times go
Hard times come, hard times go
Hard times come, hard times go
Yeah, just to come again"Have a good one!
Distance: 6.12k (total: 249.71k)
Pace: 5'01"#ParisMarathon in 130 days.
Cool! Det lyder som en god træning, flot gennemsnits tempo du holder!

Tak!!
Den syvende og sidste del, hvor jeg ydede 8/10, var streng, men i sidste ende gav det pote.

Negativ split ovenikøbet!!Ja, det er lidt vildt hvad man kan med kroppen når hjernen bliver engageret og fokuseret på et bestemt mål!

Oh my!
For the first time in my life, I have won a lottery - so I will participate in the 2026 Half-Marathon World Championship!!
(Along with a gazillion other people. For all practical purposes it is just the Copenhagen Half-Marathon, which I have done since 2019.)
The #ParisMarathon on April 12 is still my primary race of next year. But getting into shape to race the HM fast has just moved up my list of priorities.
See you on the starting line.

Congratulations!! I was going to sign up through the Novo Nordisk running Club, but that's obviously out of the question now
I'll have to sign up and see if there are spare/leftover tickets closer to the race.

My race calendar for 2026 is taking shape.

This morning, I took the train to Avedøre and then ran home, just to see something else than what I usually do. And yes, I am aware of the irony: it was dark when I ran in uncharted terrirories, and then the cloudy dawn lit it all up when I got to my home turf...
This was stage 41 of #52weeks52halfmarathons. There were headwinds all the way, but it was a nice run nonetheless.
Distance: 21.94k (total: 271.65k)
Pace: 5'37"#ParisMarathon in 126 days.

This was a short easy run in the evening.
I would have loved to run further, but this was all there was time for before picking up my daughter. Every run done is a victory, though, and this one is no exception. Onwards.

This was stage 42 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.
I train for a 42(.2)k race.
I'm 42 years old.
42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.Coincidence? You bet! But this was a great run, where I explored some new roads (yololy adding 4k to the run), struggled with hard winds, and listened to a decent old playlist of mine. What a way to start the day.
Distance: 25.56k (total: 300.97k)
Pace: 5'44"#ParisMarathon in 119 days.

Had a blast with #NikeRunClub's "Worst Advice Ever Run" this morning.
"No pain, no gain."
"If you aren't #running hard, you're hardly running."
"Numbers don't lie."
"Sleep is for the weak."
"You need to run every day."
"Running is boring."The one and only @coachbennett shredded all this terrible advice, setting me up for a fun run. It was just what I needed. Thank you.
Distance: 5.60k (306.57k)
Pace: 5'23"#ParisMarathon in 115 days.

Stage 43 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.
Curiously, the run was mentally challenging. Experience carried me through, but even on autopilot this was an unexpectedly tough one. I probably needed this to process something, and a run is a run.
After all, running is my meditation.
Distance: 22.12k (total: 324.69k)

Der er mange ting at tænke over i disse dage, og en del ekstra opgaver, så måske ikke så mærkeligt?
5:32/km over en halvmaraton er sgu også ret pænt tempo!
Spændende om du kan dykke ned i det og mærke efter hvad det er der har fyldt meget.
Kæmpe godt kommet ud!

Som Claus Hempler synger: I enden er der altid en bagage at bære.
Det var vist mest af alt blot en kombi af træthed efter et langt år (nu, hvor det er ferie, og skuldrene sænkes), mørke og en tung vom efter en stor middag hos svigermor i går. Sidstnævnte gjorde i hvert tilfælde sit til, at jeg aldrig fandt et rigtigt godt flow.
Der er nok at tænke over i disse tider, så det bliver næppe heller sidste gang, at løbeturens fokus udfordres.
Tak for betænksomheden.

Mission løbetur efter mission "stor middag hos svigermor" kan jeg levende forestille mig som en udfordring!!
Det er også vintersolhverv, så bare det at kunne sige man ikke er særligt vinterdeprimeret er et win i sig selv vil jeg tro.
Og så er det måske også bare kontrasten. Jeg oplever beskrivelsen af langt de fleste af dine ture som meget positiv, så en enkelt mindre optimal tur skal der jo absolut være plads til!

A cheerful tempo run to start this day. The days are getting brighter now.
I compiled a playlist of Christmas music for running. It's 47 minutes of pure holiday spirit. 'Tis the season to be jolly. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2exZpqp5Fjl6wEdgw73SKA?si=GUnlSsHYTeumo3jzjfhOmA
Take care, folks. Remember to tell your loved ones that they matter - just like *you* do!

A long easy run, windy and humid. It was very nice to get out.
I should have done this run yesterday, but instead we watched "Hundreds of Beavers" and had mulled wine and cookies. I regret nothing.

Det var langt nok til at komme hele vejen rundt om Esrum Sø!
Og det var mega flot i dag derude!
Kulden må man tage med når solen titter frem
