I started the day with a cruel 1-hour treadmill exercise through "rolling hills." The treadmill and the #NikeRunClub app were in huge disagreement about the metrics of the run. The former seemed somewhat conservative, which tricked me into running harder than usually. More than anything, this was endurance training. And I am glad I did it. Distance: 11.46k (app) or 10.38k (treadmill) Pace: 5'14" or 5'47" #CphHalf in 34 days, Malmö Marathon in 47. #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

My first speed run in ages, I did the "First Fartlek Run" with @coachbennett@mastodon.online in the #NikeRunClub app: 17 minutes of alternating pace to push myself (+ 15 minutes to get home). This was hard but fun. Let's make today count! #ParisMarathon in T minus 166 days. Distance: 6.22k (total this cycle: 33.38k) Pace: 5'13" #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

Friday was Halloween - and this morning, I went on the "Spooky Speed Run" with Count Bænnætt (aka @coachbennett@mastodon.online) in the #NikeRunClub app. At 1k, in the dark and the quite of our small town, I passed a crowd with torches. I think they were on their way to surprise a friend on his birthday, but with John Carpenter synth in my ears it sure was a little spooky. #ParisMarathon in T minus 159 days. Distance: 4.98k (total this cycle: 71.08k) Pace: 5'16" #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

A tempo run in the dark of the morning with The War on Drugs as my soundtrack. Many runners out there. This was a hard run, and it felt good. I test the #Runna app these days. The guided runs in #NikeRunClub are gold, but I need something to push me a little further on especially long runs. Maybe this is it..? Distance: 9.63k (total: 80.71k) Pace: 5'17" #ParisMarathon in 157 days. (Runna, ridicuously, projects my finish time to be 3:45:46. LOL!) #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

An amazing morning run. It was cold (0 degree C), and it was pitch black when I started, but over the two hours the sun rose and I got to watch the world wake up. I spotted hares and a flock of geese, a young deer just 10 meters from me. My free trial of #Runna expires now, and I won't move to a paid subscription. #NikeRunClub is better for me. Week 38 of #52weeks52halfmarathons. Distance: 22k (total: 147.56k) Pace: 5'35" #ParisMarathon in 147 days. #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

Morning intervals: 8 x 80 secs of various fast paces. Again, mixing things up on speed runs (and in general) was so much fun. Due to windchill, it felt like -7 celsius out there (this one's for you, @pfernandes@mastodon.social). Cold, but nice and clear. A minor issue with the #nikerunClub app is that it doesn't count the light running I do between the intervals. It is what it is. Distance counted: 3.92k (total: 188.37k) Pace: 5'06" #ParisMarathon in 142 days. #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

Had a blast with #NikeRunClub's "Worst Advice Ever Run" this morning. "No pain, no gain." "If you aren't #running hard, you're hardly running." "Numbers don't lie." "Sleep is for the weak." "You need to run every day." "Running is boring." @coachbennett@mastodon.online, my philosopher of running, humorously shredded all this terrible advice, setting me up for a fun run. It was just what I needed. Thank you. Distance: 5.60k (306.57k) Pace: 5'23" #ParisMarathon in 115 days. #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

It was a dark and terribly stormy morning, and to the beat of LCD Soundsystem's "45:33" I did a fartlek:

• 6:00 warm-up
• 2 x 1:30 @ 7/10 effort
• 4 x 1:00 @ 8/10
• 4 x 0:30 @ 9/10
• 4 x 0:15 @ 10/10
• warm-down until I got home

It was hard, and I got to really push myself, and it was fun, and I look forward to soon do it again.

Distance: 4.97k + some more not registered by the #NikeRunClub app Pace: 5'15"

#ParisMarathon in 79 days. Getting there.

A nice and inspirational run with @coachbennett@mastodon.online and Shalane Flanagan (in the #NikeRunClub app) through a dark and humid morning. This was a good one, and even though I did not quite find my rhythm, I had a blast. Kept it easy and increased the effort slightly throughout. "After winter must come spring Change, it comes eventually Everything is everything" Distance: 7.31k Pace: 5'28" #CPH42 in 73 days. #running #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose

Family schedules has not allowed for much #running this week, but this afternoon I finally got back on the track (literally). Training speed, I did the Funky Fartlek with @coachbennett@mastodon.online in the #NikeRunClub app. After 5:00 warm-up, it was 20:00 of playing around with pace and effort - but without knowing for how long or how far for each interval (so basically AIT). It was weird and demanding and fun!! Distance: 5.12k Pace: 4'53" Solrød Rundt Løbet in 2 days. #MastoRunDK #EveryRunHasAPurpose
