Updates Β· Running
Below are my latest updates from Mastodon (similar to X, Bluesky, Threads, etc).
90 Minutes Elliptical
Replaced todayβs running with an elliptical session instead. Because after yesterdayβs running I had a little setback on my right knee. So to avoid worsening that i resorted to the more gentle cardio activity here. It is as if time passes more slowly inside a gym than outside.
π₯³ Race notes: Mors 100 Miles
Took a while. But itβs here. 1.000.000 photos π€ͺ

I put my race ticket up for sale for Cold Hawaii Ultra 2025 - 50 miles π
I am not fully recovered from Mors 100 Miles yet. And this 50 miler is already on Saturday. And with Kullamannen by UTMB in ~6 weeks I believe this choice is my best solution.
I hope to recover well and fully from Mors soon(ish) and then finish strong with a good block of specialized training for Kullamannen.
(Mors was not planned originally so it conflicted with Cold here π )
β 11K Run
Second (and last) run for the week. The run went ok. Power is slowly returning (although very far from normal). Niggles around knees βmoved aroundβΒ Β» excellent ποΏΌ (better than one or more specific issue points). Was pretty exhausted afterwards which says a lot about my overall state (that Iβm in full blown recovery β€οΈβπ©Ή mode still).
6K Run ππ»ββοΈ
Tried my new Garmin Enduro 3 which I got today. My Forerunner 955 is ok still but it had 9% battery after Mors. That was the trigger! I want a watch with an abundance of battery for my longer ultras οΏΌπ€ .
Watch aside: knee caps still broken. The short run today even triggered a little left calf muscle strain (as in super mildβ¦ but there). So Iβm for sure NOT recovered at all after the 100 miler π. Pretty rough recovery needs this time πβ¦
55 Minutes MTB π΅π»
Resolved to cross training instead of running today: so I put my Mountain Bike to use. Aimed at ~45 min light cardio. Felt great ππ». Although I canβt wait until I feel ready to run again β¦ π
Post 100 Miler Update
So I ran that Mors 100 Miles race last Saturday (to mid Sunday night). Since then (after the race) Iβve been having sore knee caps (/top of knee area). So I cannot run still. It seems to decrease in intensity β¦ but it is a slow process. Cross training until I can (letβs say dare to) run again.
First time Iβve tried this consequence of an ultra. Suspect it was due to the extreme runnability of the course. So very high impact.
β¨Kullamannen 100 Miles++
I received this update today regarding my Swedish πΈπͺ trail running adventure. You were right @recollir π
So hehe thatβs β¦ βinterestingβ. Yeah Kullamannen by UTMB is indeed unique π€
60 minutes elliptical
So today could not be running. My knees have had some inflammation going on since the weekend ultra (Mors 100 Miles). Legs otherwise ok. Nothing like muscular breakdown as after mountain ultras. Instead this is different. So I need to recover more before I dare run again π€ π€£
Next ultra in 10 days or so π«¨οΏΌ
