Stage 49 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.

This was a difficult run with hard winds and snow blowing; with wind chill, it was a freezing -16°c. So today, I trained endurance. #EveryRunHasAPurpose

Despite (or because of) the low temperatures, this was a beautiful countryside morning. And being able to stay in control and even increase the pace throughout the last 6k (where I ran against the wind) was a major win today.

Distance: 21.68k

The soundtrack: my Radical Running playlist. It's good for a progressive run. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4G3UFLeVvtttZZNKF7Beft?si=DFxRVecJTaqS3Lx9NdRxwQ&pi=JWvIfsTlQoqzP

It was a dark and terribly stormy morning, and to the beat of LCD Soundsystem's "45:33" I did a fartlek:
- 6:00 warm-up
- 2 x 1:30 @ 7/10 effort
- 4 x 1:00 @ 8/10
- 4 x 0:30 @ 9/10
- 4 x 0:15 @ 10/10
- warm-down until I got home

It was hard, and I got to really push myself, and it was fun, and I look forward to soon do it again.

Distance: 4.97k + some more not registered by the #NikeRunClub app
Pace: 5'15"

#ParisMarathon in 79 days. Getting there.

Because of family plans, I did stage 47 of #52weeks52halfmarathons this morning. It was a bit too icy for my liking, and a streak of red lights broke my rhythm in the beginning of the run - but apart from that, this was a nice break from grading papers.

If all goes well, my weekend run will be a spectacular one. Fingers crossed.

A pristine and most beautiful morning. Also a very cold one. But I did a nice long run, stage 46 of #52weeks52halfmarathons.

These days, I play around with the hydration vest I got for Christmas from my mother-in-law. It's a Salomon 12 Adv Skin (recommended by @moelholm, thank you!), and so far I'm most happy with it. But I do look forward to not wearing a reflector vest on top of it...

Had a blast with #NikeRunClub's "Worst Advice Ever Run" this morning.

"No pain, no gain."
"If you aren't #running hard, you're hardly running."
"Numbers don't lie."
"Sleep is for the weak."
"You need to run every day."
"Running is boring."

@coachbennett, my philosopher of running, humorously shredded all this terrible advice, setting me up for a fun run. It was just what I needed. Thank you.

Morning intervals: 8 x 80 secs of various fast paces. Again, mixing things up on speed runs (and in general) was so much fun.

Due to windchill, it felt like -7 celsius out there (this one's for you, @pfernandes). Cold, but nice and clear.

A minor issue with the #nikerunClub app is that it doesn't count the light running I do between the intervals. It is what it is.

Distance counted: 3.92k (total: 188.37k)

An amazing morning run. It was cold (0 degree C), and it was pitch black when I started, but over the two hours the sun rose and I got to watch the world wake up. I spotted hares and a flock of geese, a young deer just 10 meters from me.

My free trial of #Runna expires now, and I won't move to a paid subscription. #NikeRunClub is better for me.

A tempo run in the dark of the morning with The War on Drugs as my soundtrack. Many runners out there. This was a hard run, and it felt good.

I test the #Runna app these days. The guided runs in #NikeRunClub are gold, but I need something to push me a little further on especially long runs. Maybe this is it..?

Friday was Halloween - and this morning, I went on the "Spooky Speed Run" with Count Bænnætt (aka @coachbennett) in the #NikeRunClub app.

At 1k, in the dark and the quite of our small town, I passed a crowd with torches. I think they were on their way to surprise a friend on his birthday, but with John Carpenter synth in my ears it sure was a little spooky.

My first speed run in ages, I did the "First Fartlek Run" with @coachbennett in the #NikeRunClub app: 17 minutes of alternating pace to push myself (+ 15 minutes to get home). This was hard but fun.

Let's make today count!
