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

A hard evening fartlek with a stomach full of smash burger and loaded fries - what could possibly go wrong?
Not much, surprisingly. It was a bit harder than usually, but it was great fun anyway. I'm glad I did it.
The fartlek was pyramid style:
10 min warm-up
45 sec on/45 sec recovery
60 sec on/60 sec recovery
90 sec on/90 sec recovery
60 sec on/60 sec recovery
45 sec on/45 sec recovery
10 min cool-down and then homeDistance: 6.05k
Pace: 5'20"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" -

Seems like you need to apply yourself on the track when vacation is over and your daughter restarts the athletic/gymnastics again
Does it say what your tempo was for that 1k?
(Yes, I'm curious and nosy 
) -

(Yes, I'm curious and nosy )Yes - apparently, I did 1k in 4'27" somewhere on today's run (down from 4'28"). Not sure when it happened, but it was likely when I tried to catch up with some guys on bikes and succeeded.
When her athletics training starts again soon, I'll also be back on the tracks twice a week. This means more structured speed-work for me, even though I do prefer long runs. But a little less conversation, a little more action will probably go a long way in my preparation for Malmö Marathon (Oct3).

Ah yes! The Malmö marathon! I have that written into my calendar and at some point I forgot why. I'm definitely not running it!
But then I remembered that you had that planned.
It will be interesting to see how you do, and if you're trying to see if you can beat the experiences from earlier marathons 🤩

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!

@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

Vi er kun en lille smule urealistiske
