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

With today's run, I've also reached my goal of running 1,000k in 2026. (Actually, I reached it on Friday but didn't notice then.) I've also covered the first 100k with my new Nike Vomero Plus shoes (aka the "Alfa Vomeros"). I'm getting more used to the cushioning, and they don't feel wobbly anymore. I'm happy with them, and I think they make me a little faster. I will say, though, that they are much better for roads than trails, so for mixed-surfaces runs like today, I need some other shoes.

@askekammer@mastodon.online It looks like a beautiful landscape to run in, but it also looks like a *hot* day out. Well done! I hope you've been able to cool down and rehydrate afterwards.
