Below are my latest updates from Mastodon (similar to X, Bluesky, Threads, etc).
60min Strength && 7.5K Run
Tried to add some weight to benchpress - was way too optimistic: still weak 😂. Also tried to squat with the bar … but let’s just say that is incompatible with my ultra run recovery ❤️🩹🥵🫣. Biceps 💪🏼 much more fun 🤪
Easy run afterwards. ✅
Skipping WOD tomorrow; I am simply not recovered enough for that kind of session 🤣.
Love being back in the gym 🤠🤗

7.5K Run 🏃♂️
Today’s run felt much better. Less exhausted feeling and the challenge mostly felt a little bit muscular. I could put a bit of pace on without feeling it was “dangerous”.
7.5K Run🏃♂️🔦
Still not super delightful 😅. These legs are busted. But some parts feels slightly better while others suddenly make themselves aware. It’s full blown recovery ❤️🩹 in action.
I have been eating a lot since Saturday - getting all my calories plus some 🙃. Have cancelled a few WODs this week since they would only cause me harm in my current state I’m sure.
Besides smashed legs I also have a sore lower back. That’s running impact 😂
🤠 Are you running Kullamannen 2026? If so, can you please tell me, if you in your email inbox 📥 also see this dude I know very well? 🤣🏃♂️🇸🇪🌳
7.5K Run 🏃♂️+ Weights 🏋️✅
So I went for a treadmill run. Can’t say it was joyful. I still feel the aftermath of the weekend ultra. I need to tread carefully. The run was not necessarily productive as you may suspect. But it does serve to reveal niggles and areas that are extra damaged. Left quadriceps was sore - and my waste/hip area ish. But nothing critical.
Also strength training. No deadlifts + squats - they are too “dangerous”.
✅ Mors 100 Miles
Time: 17:47:18. New PB on that race by 23 minutes, compared to 2025. Weather was good until the evening when it started to rain more and more. That cooled me down when my muscular endurance dropped significantly around km 110/120 or so - so I had a good reset at aid station 24 (122K). My amazing colleague Andreas surprised me at 2:30AM ish outside the Jesperhus amusement park 😂👌🏻🙏🏻 :: “Nicky in ultra” selfies ✅✅🤠.
Ready 🤠: Today’s 100 miler (Mors 100 Miles) starts in 2.5 hours. I think this tracking link will activate for real at that point*:
Race bib, foot chip and race vest prepared. Enough energy with myself for the first 60K - then planned refueling there and again after 120K. A hopefully good long day ahead 👍🏼😂
*otherwise an updated link to live tracking can be found here https://www.100miles.dk (see “Livekort”)
Got this email today “that my marathon event is approaching”. But the context is that… so is my 100 miler: That’s already the day after tomorrow 😅😅🚀
Can’t wait to get started on the ultra. For the marathon I may have to lower my ambitions a lot. It is unlikely that I can summon good power to run a fast marathon (given it’s so close after my ultra). The story was: I was on a waiting list for the ultra. So suddenly I am doing both 🤣
10K Run 🏃♂️
A somewhat easy effort run. Easy is a stretch because my legs were exhausted; I think that is from the latest strength sessions etc.
For this reason I have also decided to skip the WOD sessions this week. And no more strength until after the ultra on Saturday. Need to recover as much as possible for the big day 😅😇
