I signed up for the Paris Marathon on April 12, 2026.
-
An easy morning run to start what seems to be a beautiful day.
Distance: 5.77k
Pace: 5'22"Solrød Rundt Løbet in 36 days.
This morning, I ran the course of the Solrød Rundt Løbet HM (which I will race in 34 days). Except for a nasty incline out of the limestone pit at around 11k, it's a nice course.
I feel just about recovered from the marathon last week - though not from the Eurovision last night (wife loved it; I don't). This was a good run, am I'm glad I did it.
Distance: 21.74k
Pace: 5'41" -

And impressive recovery from just a week ago, seems like you did something right in that process

Pace: 5'41"An easy morning run with bursts of hard effort (a steep incline, a 1k tempo run thrown in). As is always the case, this was a good way to start the day - and I got to see both the sun and some cute ducklings.
Distance: 8.79k
Pace: 5'32"Solrød Rundt Løbet in 32 days.

Sounds like you're already on top and fully rested after the marathon! Cool!
I'm considering joining you in Solrød, but it would "only" be for the 10k

Having survived yesterday's earthquake*, I celebrated with a morning tempo run:
- 1k warm-up
- 6k at hard effort
- 1k cool-down
- 1k YOLOThis was hard, and it brought me joy. Happy to be alive.
*: yes, there was a 3.9 earthquake, and our town was at the epicenter. But nothing was ever dangerous for anyone.
Distance: 9.01k
Pace: 5'10"Solrød Rundt Løbet in 30 days.

Again, my long morning run was the course for the Solrød Rundt half-marathon. I like this course a lot.
It's warm today, so for the first time this year I would seek shadows whenever possible. Still, this was challenging as I'm not used to running in heat. But I shouldn't complain; this was a nice run in the sun.
At 10k, I accidentally waterboarded myself with a gel. Cannot recommend...
Distance: 21.65k
Pace: 5'36"Solrød Rundt Løbet in 28 days.

Sticky! (And well done! That's around 2 hour pace! For a training run
)I think everybody not in the elites at the CPHhalf vividly remember the Red Bull zone and the sound of sticky soles for the first 500 meters after that
🫣
Gels are supposed to be out *inside* not *outside*
But you're well aware of that of course.Did you have a backup?
And was it good to have the water vest on this warmer run? -

And was it good to have the water vest on this warmer run?I had extra gels, and running by a lake I could wash my face. But certainly not my proudest moment.
The water vest allows me to carry stuff (water, gels, phone, emergency details), but it does also make it more difficult for the body heat to get away. I am happy with it, and at the end of the day it is good, but on warm runs I can also see a downside.

It's tricky with the vest!
Without carrying the water, you'd surely feel thirsty fast too?And having too much in the pockets is really not fun!
On my local Utterslev Mose runs I have two options for water, so I'm luckily in good shape for most of my runs.
"The gel incident run" will at least be memorable

The vest ia good on long runs (or when I will need water along the way), no doubt about it. I'm glad I have it.
That said, I also have a mental map of where I can get something to drink out there. Churches and graveyards usually have water, and they are easy to spot at a distance.

Love the heading for that run!

The weather was absolutely beautiful (sun, warmth, a light breeze) and close to perfect for a long morning run. So I did that. It was just wonderful.
10k of easy running -> 3k tempo -> recovering with cold chocolate milk and second breakfast before a full day of gardening.
My soundtrack was mainly Joshua Ray Walker's "Tropicana". It's good!
Distance: 13.01k

Nicely run! Sounds like a good workout with a bit more tempo at the end of the run
Be mindful of the gardening!
You haven't trained the muscles required for that, have you? 🤪(But seriously, I've had this kind of work set me back before, because I overdo it)

This month, I run to raise funds for the Danish Multiple Sclerosis Society. I have pledged to run 195.12k (getting there) and raise 1,951 DKK (way past that already).
In Denmark, 19,512 persons has multiple sclerosis. A member of my immediate family is one of them, and I see first-hand how much good the Society does. I want to support that - and to challenge myself.
#EveryRunHasAPurpose, and this month even more so.

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.

I hope they have hot chocolate in the breakfast buffet!
And that you're able to get a lot out of the conference, new ideas and promising friendships perhaps.
Impressive sculpture in the sand, I'm interested to know if it's on purpose or someone who was bored during the weekend

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!

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

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.
