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.

Distance: 5.24k Pace: 5'24"

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. Distance: 24.38k Pace: 5'37" Edit: typo. #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

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.

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.

Just another run. It was windy, warm, and truly enjoyable. And it got me thinking about how grateful I am for being part of the #running community here on Mastodon. You may be faster or slower than me, or more disciplined or more easy-going. Or run further or shorter. None of that matters. What matters is how you support, coach, challenge, and inspire. You make me (and the rest of us) better. You know who you are. THANK YOU!! Distance: 10.65k Pace: 5'19" #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

A long morning run. This was a nice one where I didn't push myself too much but just went with the flow.

For my morning run, I did a bonkers mix of speed work:

  • 800m warm-up
  • 600m @ 10k pace
  • 400m @ 5k pace
  • 200m @ mile pace
  • 1k @ tempo run pace
  • 200m @ mile pace
  • 200m @ 5k pace
  • 400m @ 10k pace
  • 100m @ mile pace
  • 1k fartlek
  • and 100-300m recovery between the intervals.

Even though it was hard enough, I feel I could have given a greater effort. But I think I held back a little due to the heat.

Still, this was fun!!

Distance: 6.19k Pace: 5'01"

After the heatwave, today is rainy and windy and feels like 7 degrees C - so I did a long morning run, of course. I have some work stuff to process (a painful rejection of a scholarly paper), so a long run in challenging condition was just what I needed. This was a hard one, but I managed to keep both pace and effort steady and stay in control throughout. It wasn't exactly fun, but it was meaningful, and I sure enjoyed it.

I'm in Hamburg for the weekend and did a long morning run to see some of the city (aka Bus 11). I ran somewhat faster than I had planned for. This was a good run, a joyful one. "Dann sind wir Helden, nur diesen Tag." Distance: 12.04k Pace: 5'12" #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

Another morning run in Hamburg. I went by the harbour (where a gigantic ship just arrived), Reeperbahn (where I appropriately listened to The Beatles in German), and St. Pauli before returning to the hotel. There were lots of red lights on my way, so the flow of the run was interrupted time and time again, but even so this was a nice run through light rain. I felt strong and in control, and I wanted to continue for longer. Distance: 8.77k Pace: 5'44" #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

After 5 hours on a very AC'd train on Tuesday (goodbye, Hamburg), I've caught a cold - so this supposedly easy run became a hard run for a weak-ish runner. Anyway, the cold is not too bad, and it was good to hit the road again. It's going to be a beautiful day, and this morning run made for a good start. Have a good one, everybody.

For this long morning run, I ran through Hedeland (a large area of successful nature restoration in former gravel pits). With lots of hills but almost no shadows, this was a fun and quite challenging run. And since this was a very warm morning, I had to do it carefully and with discipline. I ran easily and had hydration breaks every 5k. Strong and in control. Still I was *fried* toward the end. Distance: 21.39k Pace: 5'46" (breaks not counted) #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

No need to sugarcoat it: getting my shoes on and getting out the door was hard today. But once I was out there, this was a very nice and quiet morning run.

It was a dark and stormy morning, even if the sun soon rose, but I did the long run of this week. The first half was a struggle (because of strong headwinds), so I'll think of it as character-building... Running in the woods, though, was just wonderful. 35/52 of #52weeks52halfmarathons done. #ParisMarathon in T minus 168 days.

My first speed run in ages, I did the "First Fartlek Run" with @coachbennett@mastodon.online 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! #ParisMarathon in T minus 166 days. Distance: 6.22k (total this cycle: 33.38k) Pace: 5'13" #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

Today, I'm in Oslo, so my morning run had lots of hills. The highlight of the run was listening to https://youtu.be/YzhjTeSz9y4 as I ran through the warm autumn colors and the cold sunrise in the Vigeland Park. It was such a beautiful moment. #ParisMarathon in T minus 163 days. Distance: 7.95k (total this cycle: 41.33k) Pace: 5'29" #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

My daughter wanted to go for a run together (that's a first), so we did. It was quite short. It was quite slow. And it was quite amazing to spend time with her this way. #ParisMarathon in T minus 161 days. Distance: 2.42k (total this cycle: 43.75k) Pace: 7'40" #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

I was never really in the zone today, but experience carried me through. It was an ok run. This was week 36 of #52weeks52halfmarathons. More important and impressive, however, my wife is walking a 27k route today ("Amarminoen"). This is a massive undertaking for her, but we will be there to support her and celebrate with a pop-up energy station later. #ParisMarathon in T minus 161 days.

Friday was Halloween - and this morning, I went on the "Spooky Speed Run" with Count Bænnætt (aka @coachbennett@mastodon.online) 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. #ParisMarathon in T minus 159 days.

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..? Distance: 9.63k (total: 80.71k) Pace: 5'17" #ParisMarathon in 157 days. (Runna, ridicuously, projects my finish time to be 3:45:46. LOL!) #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose
