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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Rise and shine and another run.
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!

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.

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.
