I signed up for the Paris Marathon on April 12, 2026.
-
Stage 43 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.
Curiously, the run was mentally challenging. Experience carried me through, but even on autopilot this was an unexpectedly tough one. I probably needed this to process something, and a run is a run.
After all, running is my meditation.
Distance: 22.12k (total: 324.69k)
Pace: 5'32"#ParisMarathon in 112 days.
Der er mange ting at tænke over i disse dage, og en del ekstra opgaver, så måske ikke så mærkeligt?
5:32/km over en halvmaraton er sgu også ret pænt tempo!
Spændende om du kan dykke ned i det og mærke efter hvad det er der har fyldt meget.
Kæmpe godt kommet ud!

Som Claus Hempler synger: I enden er der altid en bagage at bære.
Det var vist mest af alt blot en kombi af træthed efter et langt år (nu, hvor det er ferie, og skuldrene sænkes), mørke og en tung vom efter en stor middag hos svigermor i går. Sidstnævnte gjorde i hvert tilfælde sit til, at jeg aldrig fandt et rigtigt godt flow.
Der er nok at tænke over i disse tider, så det bliver næppe heller sidste gang, at løbeturens fokus udfordres.
Tak for betænksomheden.

Mission løbetur efter mission "stor middag hos svigermor" kan jeg levende forestille mig som en udfordring!!
Det er også vintersolhverv, så bare det at kunne sige man ikke er særligt vinterdeprimeret er et win i sig selv vil jeg tro.
Og så er det måske også bare kontrasten. Jeg oplever beskrivelsen af langt de fleste af dine ture som meget positiv, så en enkelt mindre optimal tur skal der jo absolut være plads til!

A cheerful tempo run to start this day. The days are getting brighter now.
I compiled a playlist of Christmas music for running. It's 47 minutes of pure holiday spirit. 'Tis the season to be jolly. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2exZpqp5Fjl6wEdgw73SKA?si=GUnlSsHYTeumo3jzjfhOmA
Take care, folks. Remember to tell your loved ones that they matter - just like *you* do!

A long easy run, windy and humid. It was very nice to get out.
I should have done this run yesterday, but instead we watched "Hundreds of Beavers" and had mulled wine and cookies. I regret nothing.

Det var langt nok til at komme hele vejen rundt om Esrum Sø!
Og det var mega flot i dag derude!
Kulden må man tage med når solen titter frem

On the starting line for the last run of the year: the 10k Champagnegaloppen race in Køge.
It's nice and very informal, close to where I live, organized by the local runners' club. This is at least the 5th year I participate, and it's such a good way to end the year.
#EveryRunHasAPurpose, and true to my philosophy of #running, my plan is first and foremost to have a good time. But to push myself, I've also made sure my playlist is only 52 minutes.

Godt løbenytår, jeg håber du får en dejlig aften og kommet godt ind i det nye år

Champagnegaloppen done! 10k in 50:45 (official time). The weather was near perfect, and I got into the zone and executed my strategy exactly as I had planned for. This felt good throughout.
These were the last kms of 2025. I'll do a wrap-up later - now I need to get home, shower, polish the music quiz for tonight, and suit up.
Happy New Year, everyone!

While the pizza dough rose, I went for a quick run. This was a short fartlek, and it was both hard and fun.
It's 2026! New year, old me. This year, my running goals are:
- to still run at least twice each week
- to break 4:07:00 on the marathon distance
- to run Champagnegaloppen on December 31 in 49 minutes or less
- to still focus on joyful runningDistance: 5.30k (total: 391.4k)
Pace: 5'00"#ParisMarathon in 100 days.

This week's long run was one of the most challenging and most memorable ones in a very long time.
It was freezing (with wind chill: -13°C), and I had to plow through 10 cm of snow for almost the entire distance. After 7k, I was toast. This was hard! And it kept on. But I managed, and it was a good experience. I feel like I learned a lot.
Stage 45 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.
Distance: 21.61k (total: 413.01k)
Pace: 6'12"#ParisMarathon in 99 days.

To whom it may concern,
I did a short write-up of the running I did in 2025 and my goals for 2026. It is what it is (namely a way for me to reflect and to remember), and it is somewhat self-indulgent - so bear with me.
See you on the next starting line.

Did you ever watch John Carpenter's "The Thing"? (If no or yes, go watch it tonight.) This morning felt as cold as that movie.
But I got a short run in before waking up the family for the first day at school/work after a long and nice Christmas vacation.
I'll just wait here for a little while, see what happens. With a cup of hot chokolate.
Have a good one.

Good morning!
This was tempo run where I increased the effort continuously. Purpose: to train pushing myself, even when the going gets tough. It was cold and windy, icy some places and enjoyable throughout.
"The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for".
Distance: 5.21k
Pace: 5'22"#ParisMarathon in 95 days.

Starting the day the best way: with an easy run.
This was a cold and windy run in the dark, with Springsteen as my soundtrack:
"Now, there's a fire down below
But it's coming up here
So leave everything you know
Carry only what you fear
On the road, the sun is sinkin' low
There's bodies hanging in the trees
This is what will be
This is what will be"Take care out there.
Distance: 7.08k
