A nice morning run. This was just a recovery run to clear the mind and get the body moving.
I'm still tired after I've gone on vacation (a bodily response to not having to perform all the time), but at around 6k I really found my groove. The second half of this run, through woods and near the beach, was truly enjoyable.
The playlist was all Scandinavian: "Jeg har lyst til at smage alle frugter på hylden"
Have a good one.
Distance: 11.24k
Pace: 5'26" -

This run was a struggle.
First, I'm just not built for (or at least not trained to) run in afternoons. It is what it is.
Second, since I closed the laptop and went on vacation Friday afternoon, I have been tired. My body seems to have fully embrased that I can now just relax.
So even though both distance and pace were fine today, I never really found my flow. It was hard work. But a run is a run, and I am happy I did it.

I had to leave my car at work yesterday - so this morning, I did a long easy run to get to work.
This was an adventure run through both the roads I drive every morning and some free-range areas that were new to me. Lots of improvisation as to exactly which turns to take. The last 2.5k were hard (out of the shade of woods, onto warm asphalt), but all in all this was amazing.
I felt good all the way.

After a night of bad sleep (sick kid), getting out the door for this morning run demanded quite an effort. And #running it demanded quite an effort.
But the sun was warm on my skin. The beach and the sea were beautiful. R.E.M.'s "Reveal" was the perfect soundtrack. I have the ability to run. There is so much to be grateful for. We move in herds. This will be another good day.

Family schedules has not allowed for much #running this week, but this afternoon I finally got back on the track (literally).
Training speed, I did the Funky Fartlek with @coachbennett in the #NikeRunClub app. After 5:00 warm-up, it was 20:00 of playing around with pace and effort - but without knowing for how long or how far for each interval (so basically AIT). It was weird and demanding and fun!!

I had three goals for this year's #CPH42, and I think I achieved all three of them:
1) To cross both the start and the finish lines. ✅
2) To have fun. ✅
3) To be in control of the last 10k. ✅I would have loved to beat my PR too - but I’ll look to that in connection with Malmö Marathon on October 3. I already look forward to it.

At 42.195k, I finished the Copenhagen Marathon with a smile and a profound sense of gratitude and accomplishment. I even managed to throw in a sprint for the last 200m while I celebrated, yelled, and punched holes in the air.
This was truly a victorious moment, and an emotional one as well.
Right there, I didn’t want it to end - and simultanously very much wanted it to end. I had given all I had to give, and gotten so much in return.

At 41k, wife and daughter were there again. I couldn’t stop to greet them, I had to keep going. It was still hard, but my legs and stomach felt better. I managed to increase pace.
And then I turned the last corner. It was a visceral moment. The thunderous cheering from the crowd. The final efforts of fellow runners giving all they had. The heavy legs. The celebration and smiles. So much joy. The finish line just up there.
600 m to go.

Around 37k, there was @coachbennett in the crowd!!!
When I met him at the #CPH42 expo, he said he would be around this place on the course. As many of you know, he is one of my heroes, so I was looking out for him; I could use his support.
What I got was a smile, a high-five, and words of wisdom: “You’re doing great, babe!” Not sure about the babe thing, but I took what I could get. Thank you, Coach.
38k. 39k. 40k. Still running; getting there.

34k passed. 35k. 36k. I forced my legs to keep going, enforced positive self-coaching. I knew that at some point, I would regain power. My pace dropped from around 5’51” to around 6’51”; this was a 3/10 pace with a 9/10 effort. It was alright.
Remember when I said “I would tag along” when the pacers caught up? That plan was good - except I couldn’t keep up with them.
I accepted I would probably not beat my own PR as I had expected to do.
