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

Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way. #WRRC
5/x
#WRRC 21.1k done!
A last-minute change, I followed the 1:50 pacers instead of the 1:55s. I felt good on the starting line; today was the day.
I raced hard, and executed my plan to the last detail. When I finished, I had just about emptied the tank; I gave it all.
I'm most happy with the result. The finish time is one thing, but being able to control my race while pushing myself hard is what makes me proud now.
Distance: 21.1k
Pace: 5'11"6/x

NEW PR On the #WRRC 21.1k, I broke one of the time limits I have long eyed but not really believed I could touch. Finishing in 1:49:40, I beat that limit with 20 sec and improved my PR with 1:46.
Crossing the finish line, knowing I did this, was a pristine feeling of pure joy. I'm so happy.
I had four goals for the race:
1. Focus on joyful running
2. Stay in control of my race
3. Finish in less than 1:55:00
4. Become World Champion

After #WRRC, I went for a recovery run to see how my body was doing.
The verdict: all is good. I felt strong and enjoyed the evening run as the sun began to set.
After around 7.5k, my left leg started to feel tired, and then I stopped running. No need to push it today.
Distance: 7.66k
Pace: 5'08"Malmö Marathon in 10 days.

That's a pretty amazing easy run after your PB in the half marathon!
If you're comfortable at that pace.... I'm obviously impressed

Truth be told, I was very surprised when I saw the pace after the run. I ran by a guided run in the Nike Run Club app, which means I "ran blind" and did not get any feedback about distance or pace along the way. I do tend to be faster on tracks than on roads, but I did not expect this.
I need to actively bring the pace down on the next couple of runs. Otherwise, I will blow up at the Malmö Marathon, and I do *not* want that.

I'm not used to running on the feeling, but I'm feeling like it would be good for me. I don't run with my phone or even headphones though, so it's not so easy
Regarding the Malmö Marathon:
You've had your hard training sessions, and done the work to get you to the finish line.
Een had a very good training session this Sunday at the WRRC!!The next 9 days are definitely mostly about getting ready and feeling fresh!
Even Jacob Sommer Simonsen struggles with that!

Jeg har 25 minutter i bilen til og fra arbejde, så jeg lyttede til det i dag.
Det var lidt en rodebutik af en podcast (siger podcast-forskeren/-underviseren), men der var bestemt interessante pointer.
Tak for anbefalingen.

Mega rodebutik! Det skulle jeg have sagt! 🫣

A short and easy run, where I focused on not running fast.
After a couple of long and exhausting days, keeping the pace down was no problem. I never got past that sluggish feeling you sometimes have on a run. It was how it was.
The setting sun was beautiful, though, and my daughter kept me company on her bike.

Must be nice with company! 🤩I hope you keep up the good work, tapering for the next PR in Malmö!!!!

Company was nice - until she decided I ran too slow and then rushed home on her own instead of supporting her old dad.

I started the day with an early long run (to get it done in time before the baptism of my nephew).
It was hard. My left leg felt tired almost before I began, and there were headwinds for the first 7k. Then I did a gazillion(/16) laps on the tracks and ran back home. It got better, the longer I ran.
This was not the run I hoped for, but that is just how it is sometimes. Onwards.
Distance: 21.1k
Pace: 5'49"Malmö Marathon in 7 days.

Are there any track related things that might explain the left leg issue?
Is it under a bit more strain than the right leg doing all the left turns on the track?
I've heard people mention that you shouldn't run in lane 1 for training 🫣
I hope your leg will feel fine soon!
And congratulations with the nephew!

Det behøvede du nu ikke. Det var interessant at høre noget anderledes, end jeg er vant til.
For god ordens skyld: Det nye afsnit, hvor de følger op på #WRRC, var rigtigt godt. Meget bedre struktur, meget mindre snakken-i-munden på hinanden og (synes jeg) betydeligt mere substans. Det var jeg rigtigt glad for at høre i bilen i dag.

Det er lidt op og ned synes jeg.
Jeg tror også det må være svært at lave det afsnit før løbet, med alt det pres der er på og tanker der flyder ud over det hele !
