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

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
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
Pace: 5'37" -

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!

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

@folfdk @askekammer Det er en aftale! Ikke, Aske?

Klart klart. Men all bets are off, når det er over 35 km.
Mit håb er at løbe maratonen på 4:07:00 (jf. https://www.askekammer.dk/running-through-2025/ ), og det svarer til 5:51 pr. km. Så det er det, jeg sigter efter; det vil være en sejr, og alt derunder vil være en stor sejr.
De næste par weekender kommer der nogle af de *lange* træningsture. De vil give en bedre indikation på, hvad jeg kan forvente.

Det er så fedt at du har realistiske mål!
Så kører vi andre ud på overdrevet og lægger pres på (du ka' klare det jo!)
Og så kan man jo se EM atletik hvor selv de store stjerner både har gode og dårlige dage. Sådan er det jo også(!)

@askekammer @folfdk Du skal ikke lytte til, hvad Folmer og jeg aftaler - vi hepper uanset tempo

A nice and long morning run.
I got up early to get this run in before the planned family activities. The world was still quiet, and I did not meet other runners (or people in general) until the last quarter of my run. I met wild rabbits.
It took some time before my body settled into the run. So I ran this one on experience and did not really push myself at any point. It was fine.

I'm impressed by the consistent sub 2-hour half marathons you keep producing!
Even when you take it easy and don't push or anything.
Great morning today!
I took a walk along the water (the europapalle is from that walk) and got sweaty! Out before 8 o'clock 🫣 -

I started the day with a cruel 1-hour treadmill exercise through "rolling hills."
The treadmill and the #NikeRunClub app were in huge disagreement about the metrics of the run. The former seemed somewhat conservative, which tricked me into running harder than usually.
More than anything, this was endurance training. And I am glad I did it.
Distance: 11.46k (app) or 10.38k (treadmill)

This morning, I did a 35-minutes tempo run to train stamina. I pushed for a hard (but not all-out) effort, and I kept it up throughout the run. What a nice way to start the day.
I was also pleasantly reminded of how R.E.M.'s "Supernatural Superserious" is an amazing song for some fast #running.
This was my 101st run this year.

I wanted to see what I could actually do in terms of #running, so I did:
- 2k warm-up
- 8k tempo run
- 2k cool-down (keeping the pressure on)This was *hard* as I both fought exhaustion and increased effort and pace. It was also very enjoyable.
The result: I didn't give everything, but I was faster than the 10k-in-49min goal I have set for the year. It was my fastest 10k ever. I'm very happy.
Distance: 12.03k

Wauw Aske!!!
That's amazing! Tremendously happy for you!
Moving towards and passing that 5:00/km pace is really a mental barrier, at least it is for me
🫣Congratulations

So ... this happened.
I ran the full marathon distance unplanned.
I set out to do 30k, took some wrong turns (i.e., more distance), had to swing by the bakery, and then I was at 40k before I got home, so I dropped off the cakes and YOLOed an extra 2.2k to get *there*.
I felt good throughout, did not really hit the wall. Doing this was crazy and brutal and great. This brings me joy.
Distance: 42.21k
Pace: 5'45"Havdrup Familieløb (10k) in 7 days.
