Updates Β· Running
Below are my latest updates from Mastodon (similar to X, Bluesky, Threads, etc).
15K Run
A gentle Monday run π. Some nasty headwind to the midway point β¦ but then ofc equally nice tailwind back home π‘ again π. Muscles still βtiredβ after Saturdayβs adventure π€
13K Sunday run (trail/road half n half)
Yesterdayβs adventure had for sure left its mark π. Took it easy today π
Update: Apparently it resulted in the second longest distance today π₯π€― (out of 60ish finishers)
What a nice surprise. Also β¦ if I knew that a runner was so close then I would have used the last 8 minutes a bit better π€£ β¦ I was literally just cozy jogging with all the others at the finish line π. Iβm lucky that the other person (3rd) didnβt catch up (also I think perhaps that person too didnβt know he was so close π)

π³πΏοΈGrenaa Halvmarathon - 6 timers ULTRA lΓΈb
71K is what it amounted to today on todayβs 6h race οΏΌππ». That was pretty nice β¦. I attempted (for the first time ever) a negative split. By bumping pace every 2h. At the end it wasnβt super true to the plan (had to dig deep to summon the power).
This also resulted in a new 50K PB (by 12 min). But to be fair the old one was set in January (cold!) 2024 and a more exposed route. But Iβll take it οΏΌπ€

12K windy easy run ππ»ββοΈ. Best road shoes imaginable οΏΌππ».
Count down: T-2 days until race day ππ»π€
8K Trail run π§οΈ π³
A gentle run more. In the woods. Wet experience π. But great still β¦ as always.
8K Run
A shorter than usual one. My Runna program says day off. But I reject that idea π€. So a gentle easy one it was. β€οΈβπ©Ή There is also something (not painful at all) lurking at my left lower shin bone area β¦ so letβs see where that goes π€·π»ββοΈ. It is one of these signals where I donβt feel like pushing it today at leastβ¦
(Tbh Iβm also asking for trouble trying to combine Runnas insane marathon program with my higher volume π)
16K Run ππ»ββοΈ
Today was the most wonderful day. Once again t-shirt-ish weather (I wore my new very thin long armed functional running shirt; ππ»β¦ got it very cheap for like ~11 EUR).
Also ooooops!! I did it again: bought a fresh pair of running shoes. Drop in replacement for my ASICS Superblast 2s β¦ version 3 has hit the market leading to an immediate ~30% price drop on version 2. So thatβs what I purchased: version 2 on sale ππ»π€©π€ π€ (road shoes)
32K Run ππ»ββοΈ
A longer run π€ ππ». Had a well stocked aid station half way οΏΌ (cakes and other essential stuff I felt Iβd need).

22K with a Runna interval workout in there. Almost no wind π¬οΈππ»π€ . Great day out π€©
