Grus8an test

Ate a good lunch, but nothing afterwards. It got quite cold later in the day, and by the time I got to the clubhouse I was really cold and hungry. Felt really low on energy warming up, and thought that maybe it was too soon to race after Sunday's 10k. Decided to just see how things went.

It turns out it wasn't an issue once the adrenaline started flowing a bit. First km was quite relaxed, but nobody around me was taking any initiative. Decided to go to the front and pick up the pace a bit. I was feeling pretty good and felt like a pb was perhaps possible, and since I don't like sitting in the front of a group I thought it was better to string things out a bit and pretend I was on my own.

Led the guys until 5k when Junis and Hedis thankfully took the lead along Delsjön. Felt quite alright and hung in there but was nervous for the last 2k. Convinced myself to attack up the 6k hill but Junis stuck with me and, as expected, passed me down the other side. Kept close but just couldn't match his speed downhill.

Remembered to look at my watch in the end and finally finished officially under 27. New PB! Second one in two days. :)

Seedningsloppet

Felt pretty tired this morning, so really didn't know how it would go. It seems like something always goes wrong for me in 10ks, probably cause I often go out too fast, so the plan today was to start really slow and see how the body felt. First km was 3:40, maybe a bit too slow, but the rest of the first lap felt really comfortable (17:46).

Started to push after 5k and set my eyes on guys ahead. Passed a lot of them quite easily, and led a pack through a long stretch of headwind until around 8k. Ran the last 2k really well, but couldn't quite catch Albin's pack. Really cool to run a negative split though, it's been a long while since I've done that (17:20).

Was in 17th after the first lap, and had the 3rd best second lap, crazy! Finally able to beat the 36:36 pb from 2010, which has lasted far too long. Really fun day, happy.

Nice night training north of Alingsås. Got home late and was quite tired, and we were late getting to the start so opted for the shorter course.

Started out easy and then gradually got to "flytfart". No big mistakes, happy with that. Didn't tape the ankle but it held up ok surprisingly.

Plan was to run two laps of the 8, first lap steady, and then second @10k pace.

Got to 5k in 21 and then hit a wall. Just super dizzy and tired. Weird. Was feeling a bit off from the start...

Lost 1.5mins into two controls, both in green areas. Took a bad route on the long leg. Chose to go around on the trail, but it turned out to be a super muddy tractor trail through hygge for half of it, which wasn't apparent from the map. Pretty happy with the rest of it though, was running pretty well.

15 x 45/15, 10x 45/15, 10 x 45/15

A bit slow to start, but eased into it quite well. Felt really good on the last two sets. Nice company with Junis, Calle and Martin A. on the last set. Was moving pretty well despite wearing the clunkers.

Really nice fog/corridor training.
