Or, are road runners just trail runners who twisted their ankles too many times? 😆🙋‍♂️

The weirdest feeling is when you write a really long message that took minutes to think, verbalize and type, just to get an even longer and more thought through answer within seconds. It almost feels like having been interrupted

Isn’t it a wild feeling thinking about how we are currently at the very early beginnings of something completely new? To witness the change of one era into another, experiencing the last and the first day at the same time. And, at the same time, see others be completely unhappy with both of them 😆

Oh and on the previous note - I DID IT! I crossed the finish line after two great, two hard, and four kind of horrible hours of running. Post covid, poorly dressed, but it was a learning experience! You have to calibrate pain thresholds every now and then. Extremely proud of making it!

Ugh just want to get out running right away. This day was 🥵

Go time! In 2,5 hours I’m starting the 45 k race. In total, I’ve run 133 km over 42 runs since starting in march. I also got covid a week ago, and broke my running streak. But as always, getting to the starting line is the real win - the rest will be an adventure! #nrc #vasaloppet #justdoit

Also, I’m stuck abroad. At least two airports and 7 hours of highway from home. But I’ve already decided that I’m still gonna show up on the starting line anyway.

Instead of chasing a finishing time, I’ll just see how far I could go. It’ll be an adventure! 😆 *coughs*

Still on a 21 week streak. One week left to the race. If i have a run today, that would be a 22 week streak. But for the past four days, I’ve been enjoying #covid again. Wow. Such timing.

Still going strong! Sort of. No impressive distances, no impressive times, but for me a very impressive 18 week streak of running at least once a week. I even got a compliment for my blood pressure! Now that’s worth celebrating. #NRC

After spending enough time being uncomfortable, the brain learns that it’s not dangerous. It starts associating being uncomfortable with calming down, getting dopamine, and relaxing the mind. That’s the real strength of running. Now, I’m constantly looking forward to getting uncomfortable

Now, I long to the next run not to get away from where I am, not to get to the next place, but just to be in between for a while. A place where no one is watching, no one is expecting, and time stops as long as I don’t.

When I started running, it was an escape. A place to disappear for a while, to let my mind sort itself out, to make room for the next thing. Fact is, it’s been so efficient that I run less now. Or rather, less often, but more. Longer. Faster. It has become my own place, wherever I am.

Running isn’t about pace, splits, or distance metrics.

It’s about:

• Feeling the wind in your hair
• Hearing your breath sync with your steps
• That perfect morning light through the trees

Stop obsessing over data.

Run free.

This much cool should be illegal

Is this real? How does the support for it look, in percentages? (First time I’ve heard about it more than its title)

Congrats!! Interesting topic! Available digitally anywhere?

Love the perspective! Very immersive.

Instead, I spent 2,5 hours digging in the garden. Avg HR 139. Like a perfect long low-cardio workout.

#Running 16k should’ve taken me 2-2,5 hours, so I’m gonna call this week 4/5 anyways!

This week, I’m going for a perfect 7 day streak on following the plan! Starting today. #nrc #letsgo #5amclub

Last week I was having a streak a 4 out of 4 days following the plan perfectly. Then comes the friday rush to finish work, followed by date night - no run. Then came the weekend - no run. Should have run 16k for the first time on Sunday (I’ve never run sp far before), but it never happened. 🤦‍♂️ #nrc

Ran 4,2 km outside yesterday in a sunny presummer day. Didn’t even feel far. Just enjoyed it. Could’ve easily gone longer, but didnt have more time at lunch. Upping cadence from 130 to 160 made a huge difference in economy. Feels like progress! 🏆

Today: 38 min speedrun! 🏎️

#running #nrc

What would you say ”near max effort” is in terms of % of max heartrate? 90%? 95%? 99? 😅

First run outside yesterday! Ground was still wet from rain, blue skies and a veeery pretty sunset. Only 2.5k, but every run counts, right? #nrc #running

You think that applies to business as well? Kinda feels like it does.

Tried a short lunch run to wind down. Ended up doing saas support from the quad machine over sms 😅 can’t always win 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone tried letting an LLM agent merge them? Like, just downloading it all, open the folder in Cursor, and asking Gemini 2.5 to ”turn this into great docs”?

Ok, so… hit a mental barrier when the plan went from 1 long run a week to like… 4? 5K still feels long, the plan says 6+5+12K this week. The monday 10K overstrained my shoulder which has hurt since then, destroying sleep. So instead of 6+5K, I did 0+2K.

Feels vv hard rn. Any advice? #running #nrc

Another 5k this morning! As a recovery run. Knees were a little bit unsure, but got better. Last k went fast. Feeling strong! #nrc #running

The second time i ran 10k was in 2023, when i accepted a dare to join a race the same day - with no preparation or routine at all. That messed up my foot for weeks, if not months. Now, the day after running 8k, I’m barely even sore? It’s amazing how the body can adapt if given time (and protein) 😆

An incredible difference… not distance 😅

Yesterday was the first long run in my 18 week marathon program. 8k. 8k! The longest I’ve ever run before is 10k, and that has happened two times. Was a bit nervous, but appearantly staying consistant for 6 week makes an incredible distance! Struggled a bit at 6,5 km, but slowing down helped enough
