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

@askekammer @folfdk Du skal ikke lytte til, hvad Folmer og jeg aftaler - vi hepper uanset tempo
Vi er kun en lille smule urealistiske

Back on the tracks for an easy run.
Distance: 8.43k
Pace: 5'16"Malmö Marathon in 50 days.
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.
Distance: 21.29k
Pace: 5'35"CphHalf in 35 days, Malmö Marathon in 48.

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
Pace: 4'52"Havdrup Familieløb (10k) in 9 days.

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.

@askekammer
An accidental marathon! 🤩You're really in great shape Aske!!
Can I please get a PB check?
Something about a pace of 5:45/km and distance of 42.2 km seems awfully close to this also being a personal best?
Anyway, you're definitely not keeping it boring!
This was just after you crushed it on the 10 km earlier this week
Enjoy the cake!

"An accidental marathon" - I like that phrasing.
Around 25k I did the math and realized where this could go, and at 32k I committed to it.
It's a new PR, no doubt! According to my app, I did it in 4:01:54, which is around a 12 min. improvement.
It has been a wild week in terms of running, indeed. I do, however, see the irony that neither of the PRs (both of which met my goals of the year) are on record with official time-keeping. So I have to do it again later.
And thank you!!

New marathon and new 10k PB in the same week.
And an anniversary on top of that 🤩
I'd say "I can't get my hands down" but I've just returned from a hard training session so...

Just chillin' after the accidental marathon on Saturday. Or ... that was the plan.
So while kiddo did her atlethics training, I did some easy laps on the tracks. But of course I could not contain myself, and so I threw in 4x200m hard sprints (a 9 effort out of 10) toward the end. It made it hard, but also very rewarding. And it mixed things up.

That's a great way to do it, I also did a short sprint in my easy run today, the weather was inviting to so it

New 10k PR!!
Tonight, I ran the DHL relays (a gigantic #running event for companies) and did two 5k laps. I pushed hard, stayed in control, executed my strategy, had a blast.
A goal for 2026 is to race 10k below 49 minutes. My official time today: 49:02. I'm proud of the result, which shaved 0:32 off my old PR, but being three seconds off my goal is slightly annoying.
Well, ever onwards.

Congratulations Aske! That's great! Now you have an official time at least (although I'm not sure the track is measured by DAC?!?
)I hope you impressed the colleagues! 🤪

Because of the DHL relays in Copenhagen (see previous post), I left the car at work yesterday. Which meant I did a long run this morning to get to work.
It was challenging. My legs were still tired, and with a lot of work stuff on my mind it was hard to find the flow mentally. So I kept it easy, kept on going - and in the end it was a good run.

You're definitely getting in the mileage!Pretty hardcore to clock in a half marathon 12 hours after a 10k personal best

After some days of recovery, I did run this morning.
It was just a run. No more, no less.
But the sunrise was beautiful.

Excuse my French, but: damn, this was tough.
Training stamina and recovery-on-the-go, I did a morning fartlek: 5min warm-up, then 15min switching between 30sec hard ("my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid") and 30sec easy #running. And then I ran some more to get home.
This was hard but rewarding. It worked out very well. The fundamentals are strong. I am happy I did this.
