One of the largest HM in the world happened today in Göteborg. My new employer sponsors runners 👊 (signup fee, tent in the starting area with drinks, bbq, etc). Though I have my main ultra race next week I participated and took it as a training run (easy tempo pace without pushing it, definitely not race pace ). My start was at 1345 with over 30C in the sun (26C regular). 🥵😎. It was a fun event. More than 200000 spectators along the course. (Haven’t run it since 2004 (1:19 - 20 years later 20 minutes slower 🤣)). Legs felt quite fresh after it. Ran back home 🙈 (4km). Heat was noticeable on the HR. But it didn’t had an effect on my hydration needs. Took only small sips every 5K at the aid stations. 🤷♂️. Good day. #trailrunning#runninghttps://www.goteborgsvarvet.se/
@officehippy@recollir 1-4 minutes better than my PB. But the main achievement is, in my humble opinion, that you were able to maintain that kind of pace at these heated temperatures…
@sebastianhahn@officehippy thank you both 🙏. heat usually doesn’t affect me a lot. of course, I would like to avoid it for these kind of things (10C-16C would have been much nicer). What helped me as well was to prepare me throughout the week for this. I did all my training this week when it was warm in the early afternoon in plain sun and avoided running in shadows. I also had my lunch, coffee and reading in plain sun sitting there for an hour. Both were a key to be able to adapt to the heat quite good.
@sebastianhahn@recollir@officehippy Castle? Cabin in the woods is my my style. And I doubt I could be a Count. My distain for the pretensions of nobility would really challenging. 🤣
