Another very LONG 180 seconds.
What is it with these 30 seconds. Looked at the timer after 30 seconds.
Just 2 more minutes, focus Gabby.
At 1.30 min left my legs were starting to shake a bit
At 1 minute left, come on Gabby you can do it. Keep going
Only 30 seconds left
When only 10 seconds left my legs were shaking a lot. I still refuse to put down my knees on the floor. I wonder when I might have to give up and put down my knees. I get the feeling it is going to happen at some point.
Today it was 180 very LONG seconds.
Looked at the timer after 30 seconds and then I realized soon after that that was 2 whole minutes left. At 1.42 left I had to focus. A 1 minute left I had to tell myself you can do it.
At 42 seconds left AAAHHHHHH.
At 30 seconds left, OH MAN!
At 20 seconds PAIN
At 12 seconds it fel like an eternity and the finally the beep!
76 day, 75 days to go
I was suppose to run yesterday but after 2 days of challenging myself to run faster than normal I had to have a rest day yesterday.
Today it was definately colder so winter pants on, also windstopper over my fleece jacket. Forgot that it is darker already at 16.00 (4 pm) but lucky me it was not too dark when I ran on the counry road without any lights.
A lot of spitting, blowing my nose and coughing, a definately sign of winter.
Ran 10k.
Temperature: 2.5oC (36.5F)
Average speed today: 6.08 min/k and time: 1.00.52 h.
I need to drink some warm glögg to get warm again.
Today it was the last session of 150 seconds.
Of course I had to look at the timer when it was 2 minutes left. And then when it was 1.5 minutes Focus. At 1 minute the legs started to shake but I stilll refuse to set the knees on the ground. At 30 seconds left I was asking myself why I am doing this. At 20 seconds left AAAHHHHHH with a bit of a roar. Oh yes only 10 seconds left and then finally I heard the beep.
Today it was another 150 seconds.
Was not trying to look at the timer to soon but realized it was 2 minutes left.
When it was 1 LONG minute left I told myself you can do it. Focus now!
30 seconds AHHHH!
20 seconds, let it soon be over
10 seconds and then finally the beep and it was over
78 day, 77 days to go
Today I participated in 1h interval based treadmill session with the great instructor Suz. The goal today was to challenge myself to run faster than normal. Started with 5min/k and then I was alternating between 5 min/k up to 4.44 min/k. Ran a total of 9.55 k.
This is at the very beginning of the session. We are running with a smile on our faces. The feeling is good, everything is cool. If the question was asked if we were fine, we answered yes, we could even say our name, our age and where we lived.
This is when we are getting closer to the end. The feeling is not so good anymore. Suz asked if we were feeling good and the answer have now changed from Yes to NO with a roar.
Of course we have to have the traditional group picture
This is what intervals we did today
79 day, 78 days left
Today I participated in a challenge – 6h treadmill. Coach K Runners was challenged by a team from Stockholm (Kista), our capital city.
Stockholm (Kista) had 12 ultra runners and CKR has 9 ultra runners and then relay treamills.
I was part of the relay team, I am not a ultra runner yet but now I have decided that Lidingö Ultra 50k would be my next goal.
I challenged myself and had a pace of 5.36 min/k and the distance ended with 10.7k
After my run I continued as a official, registering the distance on everyone every 30 minutes and filling the ultra runners water bottles and cheering them on.
When it was 5 minutes left I started the countdown every minute
Here is how it looked like when it was 1 hour left
Here how it looked like when it was 30 minutes left
Here how it lóoked like when it was 15 minutes left
After 6 hours it was finally over
I am proud of Coach K Runners today. We lost against Stockholm (KIsta) but we had a lot of fun. Everyone was allowed to run their own pace and it was a good spirit and a lot of cheering.
Stockholm (Kista) ran a total of 746k and Lund 675k, 70k difference in favor of Stockhom (Kista).
In Lund the ultra runner Niels Holm ran the longest with 69.6k. In Stockholm (Kista) the Ultra runner Sophia ran 74.5k during these 6 hours. That is really impressive.
The total distance on 14 treadmills in Lund was 791.5k, which for me is an impressive distance.
Today it was the longest 150 seconds.
What is it with these magical 30 seconds. Always try not to look at the timer too soon but I took the first look after 30 seconds, focus Gabby. When it was around 1 minute left, you can do it, the legs started to shake but I refuse to set down my knees on the floor. Then it was 30 seconds and it felt LONG, only 20 seconds left and then 11 seconds and finally the beep 
Today it was the last set of 120 seconds.
PAIN PAIN PAIN!
Today it was increased to 120 seconds.
I decided to not try to look at the timer too often but did it after 40 seconds. Focus Gabby and then it was 1 whole minute left, MAN!
It is only 30 LONG seconds left and then 20 seconds and then 10 seconds and then the timer was beeping finally.
