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.

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.

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.

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.

The first run after Copenhagen Marathon to see how I'm doing. #EveryRunHasAPurpose
The good: I have almost no soreness in my muscles
The bad: my energy reserves are still empty; 5k felt like 10
The ugly: the post-race blues is kicking inIn other words, everything is just as expected. It was nice to do this morning run, and I got to push myself. Onwards.

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.

I knew I had to keep going. Stopping wouldn’t bring me closer to the finish line, and it wouldn’t help me. So I kept running. Every stride was a struggle.
At 33k, my colleague was there again, cheering me on.
I focused on the moment, on getting to the next distance marker. The mental training from so many runs paid off. “Your pain is no credential here”; staying mindfully in control and getting through was what mattered.
