My beloved Chiang Mai Running Sandals* failed halfway through today's run, making me involuntarily join the #barefootRunnersOfMastodon.

Even Paddy the Irish mutt got a bit tied of running in soft sand. Here we are hoping that over there yonder, we would find the gravel road we should have been on. I was paying too much attention to #RAAAD and The Doors than the map.

Tomorrow got to be an early start, as we are forecasted 21c, which is just too hot for mut and human to run in.

Cachés en pleine forêt, longeant le mur qui sépare ce bois du domaine national de Marly (royal sous Louis XIV) , ils se font un plaisir de défier tout coureur en quête d'un peu de technique pour flamber les cuisses ! #foret #escaliers #domaineroyal #stairs #wood #nature #trees #motivation #pierre #stone #defi #trail #trailrun #trailrunning

Yesterday was brutal. Bitterly cold start before dawn and straight into a big climb with an exposed summit and a sketchy descent with lots of slipping on the frost. Today….starts before dawn with a big climb Super tired but basically in reasonable shape otherwise. Not too much running happening though. This is a grind. #NorthernTraverse #ultramarathon #trailrunning

Today's beautiful, cloudless #sundayRunday in four pictures.

Today's trailrun up to Prabé above Sion. The super steep ascent is rewarded with this view.

Schön kalt

Tomorrow will be my first race of this year’s season. I am nervous, I must say, but I am also getting very excited to do my longest trail race ever!

Manage road half marathon today, wanted to go slow ans easy, breathing through nose and all.
Very hot weather, the whole #lyon population was probably hanging out in park Tête d'or.

Disappointed to find out I was over 150 BPM most of the time, which explains the heavy legs near the end.

#Halbmarathon im April mit einigen fiesen Anstiegen (325 Höhenmeter). Mit @nerdtalk und #skyewallace #frankturner im Ohr.

Sometimes the #training doesn't go as planned. Last weekend as part of my #fitness class trainer training we did a #cardio lab which included a 15minute #run at speaking pace. Me being a non-runnner was astonished that it was relatively effortlessly. Boosted by that I went for a run-walk today, run until done then walk the rest. And the walk part went down the drain as it just became an 11km trailrun in great spring weather.

So I guess I did that...

Home, sweet, home. I went to my stairs after 5 days in London and did 1/2 of the Niesen Treppenlauf in terms of steps and EG.

4.5km up and down plus 1km to/from the stairs for 5850 steps and 886m of EG (the 2.25km up correspond quite good to the first section and the cutoff point of the race - 2.1km/970m of EG).

30 times up and down in the lovely sun.

Missed out on a run yesterday so made it up with a double album run today. Started off with the joyful Stakka Bo - Supermarket, lyrics are still apt today as it was back in '93. This helped me through the forest and the sandy tracks to the beach. Where Rage Against the Machine as always kicked butt, serious air drums and screaming along to Killing in the name, Bombtrack and Bullet in the Head etc was only heard by the wind and the waves as I did nearly 3.5km all alone on the beach.

April showers and birdsongs somewhere in the woods.

Have a good day.

You won’t be saying “recovery” tomorrow Mr Garmin #ultramarathon #NorthernTraverse #trailrunning
