โ Bib: Kullamannen by UTMB ๐ธ๐ช
Bib collection opened at 10:00 CET - I was in the queue 20 minutes before. It quickly grew ๐
Some 7.5 hours until start (18:00 CET). Bus ๐ departures at 16:00 CET. I am really excited - with a little bit of nerves ๏ฟผ๐ค

13K Run
Tried to run easy here. But pulse was high - so I guess that was the last โrealโ session before race day (full rest from now on seems what I need ๐ค )

17K Run ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐ฎ๐ฆ
From before sunset to after ๐
โจNEWSโจ: Just added 3 new races to 2026
A 100K road run in Jan.
A 46K trail run in Feb.
And a 24H (hours) run in May.
The last one will be the first time - in 2024 I ran the 12H variant. But the format is so amazing that I want to go again.
The 100K race will be my second time at that. Iโve run the 50K before too. Itโs a tough race due to strong head wind up the west coast.
The 46K race: a longer version of the race that Iโve run twice before at 28K. New opportunity- yes thanks ๐๐ป
โ 17K Run
Kept this one easy too. Heart rate generally high for I-donโt-know-whatever-reason โฆ but I tried to contain it. Until the end where I put 4 x 15 seconds (ish) strides into the mix ๐
This concludes the week with 60K. A significant reduction before race day on Friday ๐๐ป๏ฟผ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ
At work today my colleague stumbled upon me being used as a model ๐๐คฃ for a Danish backyard ultra race (see screenshot ๐).
Yes thatโs most probably a โhumble bragโ ๐คฃ โฆ quite funny I think. I donโt mind as it is a very nice race btw โฆ. And I will run it next year again (already signed up).
It is one of the races I look the most forward to: the backyard format is so amazing ๐คฉ

Warm up treadmill run - 10 minutes
| 10K Rain ๐ง๏ธ run | Tempo |
Had to hurry home ๐ก- so todayโs run simply became a tempo run. But in all honesty: totally messy executed (no structure - no plan) ๐๐
