Had a delicious dinner with family, ran 12k afterwards here around our country house in the Stockholm archipelago. Awesome views, great weather, 0 snakes (today). Running is the best.

Party Boat posted:Did a 15 mile long run yesterday. I've been using https://www.plotaroute.com/ to check out some of the paths around me, in my area at least (northern England) it's really comprehensive so I've been able to put together some really nice long runs that I can do from my doorstep but involve minimal road crossing. I’m trying to work up my stamina / cardio to be able to push more easily past a half marathon but it’s slow. I can do 10k easily, 20k with some effort but past that I simply find myself without energy to continue. Would love to run a marathon some day.

I suppose one part of it is that you need to bring running supplements, but to me that changes running from something I like to do to clear my head and keep in shape into something serious that requires planning, possibly a proper training program etc.

I’d say that the best surface is “varied terrain” (sorry, not sure of the proper translation) when you run on trails, dirt roads, between roots and across whatever you come along. More fun and removes the monotonous experience of running on straight perfect paved roads.

I usually run 20-40 km per week but lately I’ve been getting trouble with one knee as well as one groin that forces me to rest 2-3 days after each run, very frustrating. Probably need to work on my food intake too, my mindset has always been to eat whatever and compensate by running but even when averaging 40 km / week for 2 months I have an awful beer gut, and I don’t even drink alcohol.

Did my first 20k for the year yesterday, on asphalt at about 30C so it was rather painful. However my family was waiting for me at the end with lunch ready so it was worth it.
