12.7K Trail Run

#16

Time again to get up to Frostavallen and continue with my trail running.

Suppose to be warm so I wore running skirt, linnen, ultra backpack, altralone peak 3.5, compression socks.

The weather was perfect, not as warm as the last time I was here but not too cold and also a breeze

Nice to be back and also that it is so dry, last year it was wet wet wet, gooey, gooey, gooey

The goal was of course to run up all the way on some more hills and also start running on all hills except two (Djuralids hill and the hill after)

Groups of treekers were also on the markers where I ran, I combines green, white, green today. In the beginning it was a larger group and they were in my way 🙂 A funny comment was here is someone who is in a hurry. Yes I am I responded and ran up the hill all the way, don’t think I did it last time 🙂

I would increase the distance to 12.5K, that’s why I added the white part which is a bit hillier than the first green part. Got up all the way on the first one on the white part which felt great but then there are two that are close to each other where I had to stop and walk on part of them.

It is so nice to run in the woods, I hear the birds singing and it smells lovely. And now it is so green.

I realized that when I would get back to the parking lot at Frostavallen I would not have been running 12.5K and have to come up with a new plan what to do. Decided to run around the lake of Wax (Vaxsjön) but still did not get 12.5 so I ran back on the green marker on the other side of the lake (where I normally come back on) and then found a new orange path into the woods and explored it.

Did not run into any knee issue til 8K and then I had to do a lot of walking.

Every time I run it just feels better and better now. I hope that it is true. I get lighter and get used to running again.

4.01K Short Run

#5 – 50 Runs in 100 days – Summer edition

I woke up at 6.50 am and put on linnen, running skirt, flipbelt, water belt with 2 water bottles.

I was gpoing to  run down to the harbor, either running 5 or 4K. It it always interesting running in a new city where you are not familiar with the streets and the question if you will find your back home. But since June 1st I can use roaming across EU without getting poor.

But lucky me running down the street will take me to the harbor and was this iPhone 7 house that I could have as a marker.

The temperature felt perfect in the beginning but then I started to feel breathless, saw later that it was 22oC (71.6F)

I ran down the hotel street and there were some other runners that I passed.

When I came down to the harbor there were many runners. We saw yesterday on the city tour that the harbor and beach is a popular place for runners and bikers.

Glad that I brought water.

Then it was time for breakfast and head out to La Rambla

12.44K Flat Run

#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.
