Lämna ett svar

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

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 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. 🙂

Today it was another 90 seconds in pain. Maybe the abs exercises at the gym before did not help.

I looked at the watch at 1.15 min. Focus Gabby focus. Then at 58 seconds left, yes it is less than one minute. At 30 seconds left I wanted it to be over and then finally it was these last 5 seconds. Puh!

84 day, 83 days to go

Today it was a perfect day to run a long distance run. Today I ran solo. These days are not growing on trees. The sun was out, the sky was blue and still these spectacular Fall colors. Was a bit windy and some upwind. Gloves and cap on and off. It is also nice to say hi to the runners that you pass during the run and they actually say hi back 🙂

Temperature: 11oC (52F).

Average speed today: 6.06 min/k and time: 1.34.31 h

After the run I drank some chocolate milk instead of gatorade.

90 seconds was the time today so I had to focus.

At 1 minute left I started to feel something in my abs, 40 seconds my legs were starting to shake also. 30 seconds I was hoping it would soon be over and finally it was only 6 seconds left and then 90 seconds has passed.

Oh boy it is just going to be tougher and tougher.

86 day, 85 days to go

Today it was running barefoot, as warmup, at the judo mat before Newaza

The runner took over in me, had to pass the ones that was running slower and some of them appearently knew about my running challenge because a comment came when I was not satisfied with the tempo 🙂
