Below are my latest updates from Mastodon (similar to X, Bluesky, Threads, etc).
| 15K Run with Workout | 8 x 600m, 400m Recovery |
I adjusted todayโs workout to be a little bit less hardcore. So 8 times 600 meters of pushing. Thatโs it. Felt like a good compromise; getting something done while not destroying myself entirely ๐๐ค ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ

A short doc covering the race I participated in Sunday ๐ค

๐Another 15K ๏ฟผ
Recovery โค๏ธโ๐ฉน status: improved, but still in progress. Effort felt easier - but still legs that are impacted by Sundays race.

Still exhausted legs. Better (more bounce) but tired. Totally easy again. Listened to a Danish running pod cast - really lovely (down to earth, funny, easy listening).
15K Yesterdayโs run ๏ฟผ
Exhausted legs. I could definitely feel the effect of Sundays race. Almost felt like they were full of lactate. So I took it pretty easy ๐

Just finished this race today ๐๐ป๐ฅณ. I just barely made it to top 10: came in 9th out of 72 starters. 8 DNFs. Was quite hilly - but definitely lovely runnable trails. I felt like a an MTB bike rider ๐๐๐ป
Fun fact my AVG pace and GAP this year was faster than it was in 2023 .. and thatโs where I โonlyโ ran 25K. Not entirely identicalโฆ but mostly same trails mixed together. Both: ran what I could ๐ค ๏ฟผโก๏ธ
Race day awaits: a trail race in the mid 40K range. I had the alarm go off at 04:45 โฐ๐ด๐ฅฑ๐ค . I now a have an almost ~2 hours drive in front of me before arriving at the starting line. Have a great day โ๏ธ
Ok didnโt get drawn ๐ โฆ there was 11K people in the lottery. People with much more tickets than me. First year applicants like me only have one ticket. Some have like โฆ32/64/128/256/512 (depends on how many years they didnโt get drawn). So it was totally expected. Next year it is ๐ค ๐๐ป๏ฟผ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ
