The transport to St Hans hills was heavy today, the pace was 6.30 min/k which normally is a comfortable pace but today I was breathless. I am heavy now and the goal is to loose 10 kg, go under 60 kg this year is the middle goal.

It is tough to do pulse based on hilly intervals so what I decided today was to try to stay below 160, which is my threshold pulse as long as possible and when I hit 160 increase the pace.

This hill that I run on starts flat and then get steeper and steeper, at the end I was breathing heavily, almost getting respiratory distress (=andnöd) so I had to rest at the top to get the pulse down and then run back and wait til I got down to 118 before I started the next interval.

On my first or second interval when I was at the top I saw somenone coming up the short side of the top hill and it turned out to be Tom who is part of Coach K Runners. He was preparing for St Hans Extreme 6h.

I was not sure if I would run 10 or 8 laps but during the run I felt that 8 would be enough today. It is interesting, in the beginning it feels very long til the end but after 4 intervals I was half way and the end was near 🙂

Fun to see Kyrre who was working at AZ when I was working there and Sara. They were getting ready for St Hans Extreme as well. I asked if I still could sign up and it was not too late and the date is May 18th.

Today I did not have the right clothing, could have worn capri tights and lighter socks but I survived because I brough water so I could drink and wet my hair.

Part of my body wanted to start walking at the end of every interval but the stronger me did not let me do that.

Even if I had a tough time I was glad I did it

And like I have said before, weigh yourself in the morning. Today I weighed myself after my hilly intervals, eating lunch and drinking 3 glasses of water. Picture will come later.
