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

The conference is great, thank you. It's a yearly thing, and it's about the core disciplin of my research (media management and economics), so it's my scholarly "home". Lots of old and new friends and collaborators, and too many new ideas for what I have time for.
The sand sculpture was part of a large work-in-progress, so it seems there will be a grand exhibition or festival or something in a few weeks. Either that, or someone was *really* bored.
"Scholarly home" is a good way to put it. I know that kind of conference
Interesting what the sculpture will end up looking like.
And don't underestimate a bored artist!

I'm in Finland for the #emmaLappeenranta conference, and I started the day with an easy run. Rolling hills made for a nice change from my normal environment, and the view of the lake was quite something.
It was cold and windy, so I ran faster than planned to get back indoors. But there was no real plan, and I did not push to achieve something particular. This run was just fine.
Distance: 7.11k
Pace: 5'17"Solrød Rundt Løbet in 22 days.
This long run had it all! 2k with my daughter
️ (very easy @ low pace), heavy legs, cows, warmth, high humidity, heavy air, exhaustion, good music, slight dehydration, chafing, nice dogs (who's a good boy?), not-so-nice dog owners (no, it's not "cute" when your dog chase me because "it wants to play"), negative split, @coachbennett, flow, more good music, excellent mental performance, joy.Distance: 21.75k
Pace: 5'56"Solrød Rundt Løbet in 20 days.

Today's run marks the end of my fundraiser for the Danish Multiple Sclerosis Society: https://www.scleroseforeningen.dk/yougo/indsamlingsside/?id=cmm7f3et1003g4q05yv1h1a9x (it runs until midnight)
And I met my goal. Throughout this May, I have run 201.78k - which is the furthest I have ever run in a month. Not gonna lie: I am very proud of that. But even better, I managed to raise 3,695 DKK for the good cause. Thank you, everyone!!
See you on the next starting line. Ever onwards.

While my daughter trained with the local athletics team*, I ran laps around the stadium.
As it was the same 400m I did over and over, the challenge todays was mental first and foremost. But I managed, and this was hard and fun.

Yeah, that's a lot of round and round!
You didn't do 25*400m repeats at 5k pace or some such?
I've used the track close to my parents once in a while for køre specific training sessions, but it only helps very slightly to make it more interesting

Celebrating @nerdd's run today, I realized today is Global Running Day. So I of course had to squeeze in a short evening run.
I don't know if it was a good idea, though. 1) My right leg was somewhat sore after yesterday's 30-something laps around the athletics stadium, turning left all the time. 2) My stomach was still full of spaghetti and meatballs. Delicious but heavy just before a run...

A nice long morning run. it was quiet out there, a bit of light rain, and almost no other runners.
The course was the same as the past couple of weeks. The nasty incline out of Karlstrup Limestone Pit is getting easier: it's 80 strides steeply uphill, but I'm getting better at doing it controlled without burning myself out.
I took it easy, as my right leg still feels a little sore.

Åh hvor fedt med den tegning!
Har du løbet halvmaraton hver uge stadigvæk efter de 52 uger? Det er blevet mange lange ture efterhånden!
Jeg håber dit ben føles ok efter turen og er i topform til Solrød rundt!

Ja, det var en rigtigt fin gave, jeg fik på fars dag. Junior er begyndt til atletik, så en eller anden form for positiv indflydelse må jeg vel have...
Og ja, jeg er oppe på 67 uger i træk nu med en tur på mindst 21,1km. Det er simpelthen bare blevet rutine, og jeg nyder det. Jeg tager det som regel i helt roligt tempo, og selvom tiden nogle gange er svær at finde, er det det værd.
Benet har det fint, tak.

Stærkt! Jeg håber jeg kan arbejde mig hen imod at gøre noget lignende!

Så tog jeg mig sammen og har købt billet til 10,6 km ruten ved Solrød løbet

JAAA! Sejt.
Start- og sluttidspunkterne er lidt skæve ift. hinanden - men jeg håber og satser på, vi ser hinanden på et tidspunkt på dagen.
(Vær forberedt på en grum stigning efter 4,5 km, når du skal op fra kalkgraven. Den har slået mig ud et par gange, hvor jeg har løbet den for hurtigt. Men i år har jeg målrettet trænet den og ved, at den kan klares med 80 fokuserede og kontrollerede skridt.)

Ja, jeg har hørt om den stigning et par gange jo, så jeg skal nok huske at der kommer noget undervejs
Og ja, de kunne godt have haft 1 time mellem 10km og halvmaraton, det havde passet lidt bedre for mange. Nu ser der ud til der er 1:15, og jeg kan ikke huske om du skal løbe ny PB
Men jeg forestiller mig at du løber i omegnen af 1:55 ? og jeg på omkring 55.
Så jeg må sørge for at være i god tid og klappe dig i gang, så kan du stå klar og heppe mig i mål

While my daughter and her athletics team trained relays, I did intervals on the tracks. It was hard eventually, and it was so much fun.
5:00 warm up
3 x 1:30 @ 5k pace
3 x 1:30 @ 10k pace
3 x 1:30 @ mile pace
+ some more at an easy pace because I wanted to
(1:30 recoveries in-between)On the last reps, I tried to out-sprint the young runners - and failed miserably. The kids are alright.

@askekammer Oof, I bet those mile pace intervals stung!
Did your leg hold up better to the constant turning left on the tracks today?

I prefer #running in the morning - but with my daughter's athletics late on afternoons, my window for getting out has moved.
My body has not yet adjusted, though, so this easy run was hard. Heavy legs, tired body. It took some time to get warm, but in the end I found my groove and just enjoyed it.
I finished with 2k of what @nerdd calls AIT (Anarchistic Interval Training = YOLO-style improvised tempo run).
Distance: 10.01k

@askekammer @nerdd
Always nice when you end up being able to say you enjoyed the run.
For me that's the result most of the time fortunately!Interesting what a change in time of day can do.
I guess the timing of food intake and general tiredness makes a difference.Looking forward to Solrød Rundt

These days, I struggle a bit with motivation (have too little) and exhaustion (have too much). I don't worry about it, as I know I'll soon get back to an equilibrium - but it does make long runs like the one I did this morning more cumbersome than they should be.
At times, it felt like doing chores, and at other times I got into the flow and just went with it. But I had to work for it today.
