#30 – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
Someone has said that it is good to get out for a walk or a shorter run after hilly intervals. I usually rest but I decided I would get out on a shorter run this time.
Was a bit sore in my front thighs and I was a bit breathless due to the heat.
Just nice to get out for a run and kept a good pace

#21 – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
This picture sums it up pretty much. The plan was to run around 9K but it did not take long til I was about to give up. It was SO WARM.
If it was warm yesterday it was nothing compare to today. 5 really agonizing K’s.
I wore my runnning skirt which is so liberating when it is very warm, I am so glad I bought this outfit, linen, flipbelt and water belt. I had to wet my hair a lot during the run and I thought that I literally would die so I cut the run short and turn back home.
It was tough breathing today. I hope that June 11th won’t be this way the whole day.

#20 – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
It was warm when I walked from the train to home after work so I decided to wear my running skirt, linen, flipbelt and of course my water belt.
I have said this before, me, running and heat are not the best friends.
It was WARM and then I appreciate my water belt a lot because I can both drink and wet my hair to stay cool. And enjoyed the breeze that showed it’s face from time to time and there were also parts where I was running in the shadow 🙂 and then I got out in the heat again 🙂
Today it was 10 painful k’s but I am glad I got out and it was nice to get back home earlier since I am not commuting anymore. Will look forward to these earlier evening runs this summer.
Nice to see that Marina Nyman also was out running and we said hi.
I have to say I am surprised about the total time.
Distance: 9.83K, time: 1.02.55.1h, average heart rate: 148, average pace: 6.23 min/k, max pace: 5.37 min/k, cadence: 172, VO2 Max: 26 ml/kg/min
#19 – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
Today was the last day that I was commuting to Älmhult. Now I will have much closer to work and exercising will be working so much better and I am back at the gym.
Planned to run 12.5K which I did.
It was warm when I got home so I decided I would wear my running skirt, linen, flipbelt and water belt.
No problem with my pulse watch.
When I was running on the first dirt road I thought I saw a familiar face and it turned out I was right, I passed Marina Nyman, a running buddy of mine. I ran 30K with her a couple of years ago prior to Lidingöloppet and we had a lot of fun. She had knee surgery and had to go back to square one. Nice to see her running and it looked very good which I told her.
Of course I forgot to tie my shoe laces double so one got loose and had to stop and tie double and of course two water bottles fell from the water belt, negative when the belt get worn out.
Back up and running again.
It was WARM and I, running and heat are not the best friends.
Then I saw a girl running with her dog in a smart way and it turned out it was another CKR runner, Louise Lundh, that I ran the Death Zone (Dödens Zon) with in October last year, we also said hi.
Good thing with a water belt is that you can wet your hair. Much easier than from a water bladder so I wet my hair a couple of times.
Water bottles fell of the belt one more time, grrrrr
Even it was hot it was nice getting out on a run tonite
Distance: 12.47K, time: 1.20.04.3h, average heart rate: 142, average pace: 6.25 min/k, max pace: 5.45 min/k, cadence: 170, VO2 Max: 24 ml/kg/min
#10 – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
I had decided that I would go out for a run after work.
It was warm during my bike ride and it was time for short tights and linnen and definately a water belt but then I decided I would test my running skirt.
Interesting with me is that two years ago I was not interested at all in a running dress or running skirt. Some CKR girls had those during races or running workouts, it was nothing for me.
Then last year at Hallandsultran one girl had a very cool running skirt and then I was hooked so I bought one this year.
I had to put on my flipbelt too to have my mobile and keys in.
It was a beautiful evening for a run but also warm so I had to wet my hair during the run and drink water. Passed some other runners and said hi.
I have to say that running with a running skirt was very liberating. Definately something that I will wear again during warm summer runs.
Me, running and heat are not best friends so I am satisifed with the time and pace.
Unfortunately I did not get any heart rate or VO2 Max registered.
Distance: 12.44K, time: 1.18.50.2h, average pace: 6.20 min/k, max pace: 5.13 min/k, cadence: 174

#9 – 50 runs in 100 days – Just run edition
Alarm went off at 5 am this morning, breakfast and then train down to Lund.
I realized that this was not a good day for running, the train had been replaced by bus which meant longer ride to Tjörnarp. I even fell asleep on the bus and started to be hungry, not a good sign.
Temperature when I left was 12oC (53.6F)
Had put on a long sleeve over my t-shirt since I had heard that it would be nice weather, capri tights and my new compression socks, altra lonepeak 2.5, no gloves or hat. While I was waiting for the bus I was starting to get cold hands but the positive thing with the bus ride was that I got warm again. At the train station I saw a familiar face: Malin Olsson who was going up to Osby and run on Skåneleden with Henrik Kockum.
So I started to run a bit late, comfortable pace, at around 3.5K I had to do a combo: pee break and remove my long sleeve and roll up my capri and then I could breath again 🙂
It was a very nice day for a run, it is getting greener and greener, soon it will be clogged.
At 20K the heat took the life out of me. I had to make a decision if I would torment me for Another 20K or cut the distance and that was what I had to do.
Both in Tjörnarp and Frostavallen was thick tractor tracks that gets my feet tired so I had to walk on them. Hope the rain will take care of them later so it becomes more smooth at those parts.
I even saw a flat mouse on a dirt road
Distance: 30.8K, time: 4.17.12.4h, average heart rate: 141, average pace: 8.21 min/k, max pace: 5.47 min/k, cadence: 176, VO2 Max: 26 ml/kg/min
This time when I got back to Frostavallen I did not stretch before I headed back to Höör, I walked 500m and then ran 1K and continued that way, lucky me a cool breeze came which was wonderful. Transport run – Distance: 4.26K, time: 32.42.6 min
The bus ride home was interesting, first the driver could not close the door in the middle and then he started to drive and I was thinking, what is he doing but he stopped and finally could close the door. Now when you have a bus that replace a train you will stop at the stations where the train would have stopped but this driver probably got very stressed so he skipped Stehag and was not familiar with Eslöv where there was road construction work so he had to turn back. I am not sure if he got to the train station from the right direction, then we had sight seeing in Eslöv, he was on his way in the right direction but decided to turn back and drive somewhere else so he ended up skipping also Örtofta and Stångby where I had planned to go off at and run back. I was wondering if he would find Lund but that town was very familiar to him.
