20.02K City Trail Run

#50

Did not want to head out too late since it could take 3h to run my 20K run after work so I started work at 7 am to be able to get out around 4.30 pm.

When I biked to work this morning it was cooler so I actually put on a jacket but during the day the temperature increased to a pleasant temperature.

Decided to wear shorts, linnen, ultra back pack with 1 liter water.

Finally the temperature has dropped to a manageable level.

I ran all the way to the first part where I have to walk which felt good.

Then I ran all the way to Klosterängens höjder up all the way on the first hill and had to catch my breath, I was wondering what the couple thought hearing me breating heavily while they were in a middle of a discussion.

Ran up all the way on all the other hills, they are a total of four.

Tried not to stay too long to catch my breath.

10K took 1h and 14 minutes, there was hope. I wanted to be able to finish this run in 2h and 30 minutes.

Ran into a minor knee issue and walked a short time after around 11K.

The I ran up on all the hills, I had decided that I would run up on all hills and the plan was to not have to walk and that worked. Also tried to walk a short moment if I had to.

What a difference it makes when the temperature has dropped 10oC (50F), during most of the summer it has been around 30oC (86F) and today it was 20oC (68F).

Had to stop a few times during the last 5.5K due to a minor knee issue and also that the legs wanted to be fast today.

Then finally it was 1K left and I ran all the way home.

16.07K Hilly Run

#28

The original plan was to run the same hilly run as last week but got delayed at work and when I biked home it felt very warm. I was not sure if I would survive or not but time would tell.

Put on linnen, running skirt, ultra back pack with one 250ml water bottle and one 500 ml water bottle.

Me running and heat are not best friends and the heat affected me early.

Forced myself to run approximately 2.7K before I had to stop and walk.

What is it with stones. Why do they most of the time put themselves between the shoe and my heel?

Then it walking from time to time up to Klosterängens höjder. But I had promised myself that I would run up all the hills there.

Was totally exhausted when I had run up the first hill and had to catch my breath.

Then I ran up the second hill and catched my breath there for a shorter time and ran down on the other side. But when I turned around and started running on this longer hill I had to stop and walk shortly and then ran up the last part. Had to catch my breath 🙂 Then I just had to run up the last hill before I ran towards St Hans Hills.

At around 8K I ran into a knee issue.

I decided on my way to St Hans hills that I would try to run up all the hills even if it might mean I had to walk between.

Got ready, last week I was not able to run up the first hill but this time I did. Was very breathless and had to walk before the second hill.

Running up on all hills was very exhausting tonite. Tired legs as well but I ran up all the hills which felt good.

During the run I decided I would cut the distance due to the heat and knee issue at the end.

When I finished running one lap on St Hans hills I ran directly to my home instead of continuing on my 5K run back.
