Below are my latest updates from Mastodon (similar to X, Bluesky, Threads, etc).
10K Run 🏃🏻♂️✅
Easy run. Although legs were a bit tired from yesterday’s faster session. Easy runs are not necessarily easy 😅. Wonderful Danish spring weather today ☀️🕶️
| 10K Run | Tempo | Unders and overs 2K |
A Runna workout: 2K faster than race pace, 2K slower, 2K faster. Ran too fast 😅
Used my brand new race day shoes: ✨ASICS Metaspeed Edge Tokyo✨🥳.
Shoes were great. Will take them for a last session next week. Bought them specifically for Copenhagen Marathon first … but then also similar road races this year. They are not for volume training. Nor regular speed sessions (I have Magicspeed for that). Only races 😅😆
🌳7.5K Trail run
I missed the trails. Good to be back. It has been a while since I ran them frequently … it’s the (not these weeks) recent months higher volume combined with road speed sessions that have been more practical to execute on the road (Due to speed session execution but also just the all inclusive time required for the daily training). But then at the cost of missing the nature 🐦⬛🌳🦌
Just saw a YouTube video from the triathlon network about the Norseman challenge. It looks so cool that it almost makes me want to train for it 😆. Wife says no. Also I can’t swim at that level, let alone bike on a real racer.
But wow what a challenge 🤩. I love how it starts and ends. And the biking elevation. So amazing.
| 22K Long Run | Race Practice |
Today was a Race Practice long run, prescribed by Runna. 7K easy, then 7.5K Race Pace (I ran faster than that today), then 7.5K easy (I ran faster again here, relatively).

Blessed with good weather. Although slightly windy 🥵. Gel before running - then one after 5K - then one after 10K or so. SiS 40g carb gels. It isn’t easy to ingest while pushing pace and therefore in need of oxygen 😅
7.5K Morning run
Deliberately cutting volume this week. A bit early as the taper starts from next week anyways. But I felt the need (earlier) this week to cut it in order for me to also confidently be able to complete the Runna workouts successfully. I had been accumulating a bit of fatigue since the half (race).
📝 Race notes: Skjern Bank Løbet 2026
Here is a write up of the half marathon I ran a few weeks back. It took a while due to the big celebration we had (for my Daughter) in between now and then 😀. I didn’t take photos during the race (effort conflict) - but there are some before and after 🤣

12K Run with Runna workout
Runna intervals workout: Progressive Mile Repeats. That is : 4 x 1 mile with 2 min rest. Each mile was broken into 4 x 400m progressively faster paces, the 2 first ok runnable - the last 2 felt more like full speed ahead 🥵😆.
Another good Runna session. Highly recommended training planner app still 👌🏻
Runna says I’m starting to enter the Marathon taper soon. 2 weeks left 🤩
| ✅🏃🏻♂️ Run | Tempo | 3K Repeats |
A Runna session: 2 x 3K with 500m Easy. I ran the first kilometers too fast so I kind of blew up later. Especially at the last kilometer where I dropped to jog but then recovered quickly and could dial back in. But it wasn’t pretty- and far from the target pace on that last bit.
Anyways a good session🔥🤠. Also I still have a heart rate: peaked at 199 ❤️🔥😂. (Heart rate strap measured).
22K Morning Run - Up at 04:05 AM 🤩
There’s absolutely no way I could get the run done unless I got up early 😂: today will be full of ceremony and party activities 🤗… because it’s my daughter’s Confirmation day 🥳
