Nice π- I had a good race today (half marathon). Got a 3rd π₯ place of 95 finishers. And a new half PB of (official time) 1:26:57 - and a more optimistic Strava measurement of 1:26:42. So a pace 4:07 avg ish. Very happy π. Also it was a very good weather day: calm and mild. A little wind but not insane. Had to work for this π
8K Good morning run ππ»ββοΈ βοΈ
Keeping it easy ππ. Fantastic weather today π€οΈ
15K Run with 4 x 1K Intervals
A Runna βtaper intervalsβ session. I have a half marathon on Sunday; so this is in principle a taper week. And thus some intervals at Runna anticipated race pace.

These are βgentlerβ than normal intervals in that they are at the slower race pace and thereβs only 4 of them. But I violated everything and ran them faster π«£π€«: It has become easier (but not easy) to hit higher paces apparently. Felt great (despite not fully fresh).
2 x 7.5K Run βοΈπ (lovely weather π€ )
Practicalities made me split my run in 2 π₯ππ». Pulse was abnormally high π€·π»ββοΈ. Not only the number β¦ but also effort seemed unreasonable π΅βπ«.

21K Trail run
Met with Kasper and ran for two and a half hour at one of the cool trail spots ππ³
β Got it! Wayout Backyard Ultra 2027 ticket π₯³
Seems like thereβs already 56 signed up (over the last 26 minutes). Tickets will run out fast this time I think. I got it with discount code (20% off) and even a 75% discount on the shared tent seat π₯³

Thatβs my second run for 2027 already. The other one is the 6 hour run I recently did too. So two well known races ππ»

15K Run with 5K Tempo
Todayβs run was a Runna workout. A 5K tempo session. That was ok tough at the last 2K πππ». I tried to keep things controlled. Some 6 days since the backyard ultra day 2 β¦ so being able to pull this off is cool.
