<\/a><\/p>\nA bit warmer then last Saturday but rain in the air but that would not stop me from running.<\/p>\n
There is race going on this weekend, started Friday 8 am from Bj\u00e4rred (10 outside of Lund) and then the runners run down all the way to Hav\u00e4ng and turns back and finish at Hotel Lundia, a 246K. Earlier this week I was wondering if I would see some of them since I would mix orange and yellow, the fastests finish with around 30h so they would have turned back during the nite and would have past Christinehof but this morning around 7 am some were around the area.<\/p>\n
Started my run at 8.42 am and I had not run long on the orange marker when I saw two guys, Henrik Kockum was one of them who I know, he is part of the 6h treadmill battle. I cheered them on and talked to them. They had been running about over 24 h, impressive.<\/p>\n
Then later on orange there were two more guys who I did not know but cheered them on. I love to see my progress. At 5K I visited the toilet and turned on yellow, realized that I didn’t have to walk and continued running.<\/p>\n
Last week I missed a yellow part where I saw a yellow arrow but realized afterwards that I should have turned to the right but continued on the dirt road. Decided that I would’t miss this part this time but did but turned right at the end and ran to the beginning instead.<\/p>\n
Then came one of the toughest hills on this route before Vantal\u00e4ngan where I have to walk, is similar to Djuralid’s hill on Tj\u00f6rnarparen and then a steep down hill where I ran down better this time.<\/p>\n Now I knew how I would run at Vantal\u00e4ngan. Had to remove the t-shirt because it was a bit too warm<\/p>\n Had rain from time to time but it did not bother me, it cooled me down instead.<\/p>\n Then it was time to run the blue 5K part which have some hillier parts and very lovely heather where I had the most rain.<\/p>\n Then I was back on orange where it starts with a hillier part and then at the top there are horses where I walk, I am not afraid of horses but I do not want to get kicked by them<\/p>\n Started to get a bit tired in my legs.<\/p>\n Came to this confusing rest area where I this time knew that I would run to Hav\u00e4ng and then would turn on yellow where I saw the yellow arrow the first time on orange, turned out that it was Bengtem\u00f6lle and according to my map I would run to Br\u00f6sarp and then continue on orange to the rail road tracks, saw yellow to Hav\u00e4ng and then a sign saying Br\u00f6sarp 1.3K so I continued to Br\u00f6sarp but could not see any orange, had brought with me the ”Br\u00f6sarps map” studying it so I turned back and it felt familiar<\/p>\n I came on yellow from another part last year so turned on yellow on Hav\u00e4ng and decided to not get back on orange, just continue on yellow<\/p>\n This calf seemed scared when I walked towards them so I took a pic and then turned right a bit away from the calf not to scare hime or her too much.<\/p>\n Nice being back on those meadows.<\/p>\n My right calf started to get tired so a little more walking at the end<\/p>\n Good that I did not step in this fellow.<\/p>\n Was a lot of nettles but did not get burned this time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Finally I came to the final destination, same finish time but ran longer.<\/p>\n And then the mandatory swim in the ocean, no picture today<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Distance: 27.52K, time: 3.51.34 h, average heart rate: 143, average pace: 8.25 min\/k (good improvement from last week), max pace: 5.40 min\/k, cadence: 158, VO2 Max: 28 ml\/kg\/min<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
