Updates · Running
Below are my latest updates from Mastodon (similar to X, Bluesky, Threads, etc).
21K Tempo Run
Today weather was calm and no rain. Perfect for pushing pace : so I ran the session as a tempo paced half marathon.

Towards the end it felt harder. But it tells me I’m recovered ok by now (power in the legs). The effective training load corresponds to having run an easy 38 kilometers according to Garmin Connect. Good training load (although not very specific) for the Kullamannen 50K end of month 🤠👌🏻🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
| 12K Afternoon Run | Trail-To-Road Progression |
Much more leg power today. Was fun to run faster on the trails 🤠🏃♂️🔥. Kept increasing the pace throughout the run.

HRV is still in green. Seems to support my hunch … that I feel more recovered 🤞🏼🏃♂️
15K Run
Felt hard. Despite recovery jog. My legs are busted these weeks.
3 x Sessions ✅: WODROX + Strength + 5K Run
Had to split todays activity into 3 parts. A WOD (Hyrox sim) training before work. A post work strength training (biceps, back and Squat). And a post dinner 5K run. Now I’m also very tired and done … some 2 hour of scattered training 😅
Oh … my HRV is returning to green slowly 🤞🏼🙃
WODROX 🏋️🏃♂️ https://strava.app.link/HvZ04aD026b
STRENGTH 🏋️ https://strava.app.link/wsO7jlS026b
1/2 Strength Training 🏋️
One of those days that calls for creativity to get the exercise in. I did half my program today: the rest will have to wait for tomorrow.
Planning on getting a short run in later in between family stuff.
13K Run 🏃♂️
Today’s run was “assisted” by some DOMS. I think it was the Sunday workout that has caused this … in particular the sandbag lunges and wall balls. It’s right in the quads 😂. Added some pace - not because my body needed it … but more because my mind needed it in order to focus and not get too bored.
HRV etc is still below normal. I know what I’m doing wrong (not allowing proper recovery), yet I stubbornly continue 🤞🏼🙃.
✅🏃♂️🏋️10K Running ( 7K Compromised )
Started with 7 x 1K runs with 6 fitness stations in between. This is called compromised running. Wall balls, lunges, farmer carry etc.
Then I took 3K easy jogging on the treadmill afterwards.
In total almost 100 minutes or so
✅ HCA Marathon
Just came home from this awesome city marathon 🤩. It was an excellent race💯🥳. Lovely route, perfect race org, nice t shirt + medal etc. Best weather I could have wished for. I optimistically decided to follow the 3H balloons … but after the first half marathon I was out of power. Perhaps I wasn’t supposed to believe I could pull this off so close to the 100 miler and also otherwise lack of real recovery🙃🫣. Ah well: still happy proud 🤠
7.5K Run
No photos from today. So screenshots instead to make up for it. Had a very easy run. Finished in time to have 24 hours of recovery until race start tomorrow … the HCA* Marathon in Odense, Denmark 🇩🇰.

My overall Garmin training readiness is “Poor” (14). Status is “Strained”. HRV is “Unbalanced”. Recovery time is “High Need” with 52 hours.
But other than that everything is fine and I should be ready for the race 🫣😂.
