🏃 Sonntagsflucht, da wo sicher keine Spaziergänger & E-Biker-Pärchen sind 😎
Noch ist Pflaumenkuchen-Saison, aber bald gibts wieder Käsekuchen 😅
*Bin mir gerade nicht sicher, was mehr Kalorien hat, aber solange ich sonntags mind. 1000 Kcal extra verbrenne, ist das auch egal

Tomorrow's planned adventure : 20k, 1000 mEG in #lyon
Lots of stairs and going up down hills will be involved.
("Stole" this route from Garmin 's
published routes )
Not fully recovered but I need to run.
⛰️🫏 Some meters going up and the same meters going down: 10km/531m EG and 7km/508m EG.
Kilometer 7-8 in the first run took 17min. About a 80m descent and 80m ascent over 300m plus 300m. 10min going down, 7min going up. So steep, so much scrambling, so technical. Fun but tough, on my limit today.
Heute morgen kam ein mächtiges Firmware Update für die Suunto Vertical rein. I like 😍 #running #trailrunning
I got my Garmin back. I survived 8 days with out it.
Did the “usual” running in the meantime. Though I increased the amount of scrambling/climbing routes (equivalent to maybe a T3+/T4 for shorter stretches). As well as doing a couple of orienteering sessions with map and compass. That was a lot of fun and had been a while since the last time. The map is the green forest from the satellite image.
Wieder zuhause. Erstmal ein paar schöne Runden auf dem Waldsportplatz abgespult ☺️ #trailrunning #running
Today's trail running tip: Get yourself some salami sticks. Not only are they tasty, salty and contains carbs and protein. In a nice easy eatable packaging that ain't too messy and don't drip sticky stuff, like other spots "food" do.
They also double as drumsticks for air drumming, which any trail runner worth their sweaty salt, will need while listening to wicked tunes, like when Lars drums his way through Metallica's banger of an album - Black Album, which was today's RAAAD.

Some years back, I started to try to reach hill tops from home by my own muscle strength. Today, I added another peak to this list, a mountain this time: 42k away as the crow flies, and 2199m higher then where I live.
Vor einigen Jahren begann ich, Hügel an einem Tag aus eigener Kraft von zu Hause aus zu erreichen. Heute kam ein weiterer dazu, ein Berg: 42km entfernt (Fluglinie), und 2199m höher als das Zuhause.

Today was solo adventure time!
I climbed Mont Valaisan, via Col du Petit Saint-Bernard, Mont Belvédère and Bella Valetta.
A bunch of great climbs, sometimes very technical. Nice flowing descents I could bomb down and other very technical ones I had to dance down. It was rather cold in the morning, but once I got lower again around noon it started to be very hot.

Trail race done, ok: Brooks O.U.T.81 ✅
That wasn’t easy 🤣. Many times I had near cramp signals. Everywhere in the legs - moving around making warnings.
Anyhow: best race ever - we also had the best sunny warm weather. Drank a lot. Ate a lot. Ran to my limit. Even got a 5th place 🤠🕺🏼. Actually I was told quite a few times I was third .. that changed after km 67. Two stronger runners passed me. Stressful running for podium 
🏃 Wetter war anstrengender als gedacht, aber eine unerwartete Verpflegungsstation hat mich gerettet 🍐 🕺 😋 Wirklich nett! Sonst hätte ich den letzten Hügel wohl nicht "genommen" 😅

Trail done, nice ambiance, it was hot, hot, hot🥵
I think I walked most of the time, didn’t feel my feet, so I was afraid to fall, but somehow was 1st in my category. Probably because there were only 2 of us.😂
@recollir There are also some „flask-specialized“ 3D prints available… I’m using this since some months, it’s really great especially for traveling with drip grid and detachable poles

(Disclaimer: I have never owned a pair of holes, I mean, On shoes. Only seen them in stores and on the net)
Came across these, while looking for something else… …made me wondering though - it seems that the holes are becoming smaller and smaller from year to year, right? Are they silently giving up on them? 😉
After Sunday longrun, I decided to skip Monday and Tuesday for several reasons.
1 hour easy run today.
Things feeling better and better. No pain 🥳
11 days to go till the race in Germany. 🤞🤞🤞

Heute 18 km #Trailrunning mit 800 m Anstieg. Von #Wien Hadersdorf gefühlt endlos bergauf bis Scheiblingstein. Um 6 Uhr morgens bei traumhaften 13°C gestartet. Verfolgt von 7 Wildschweinen!
Did a little detour on foot today as I cycled to work. Walked up a mountain. It was tempting to pause a bit up there and enjoy the view, but hey, I am in the office now as it should be... 🙈
Machte einen kleinen Abstecher zu Fuss auf einen Berge heute Morgen, als ich mit dem Velo ins Büro fuhr. Machte Lust, dort etwas zu verweilen, doch eben, bin jetzt im Geschäft, wie es sich gehört. 🙈

A lot of us in #trailrunning , #running , #cycling , #hiking and #mountaineering are depending on OSM in one way ore the other.
From the trailrunning reddit:
“We Welcome Kilian Jornet to /r/TrailRunning for an AMA 13th August 2025 9pm CET”
(FWIW I think they mean CEST nevertheless)

One of the things I've learned while fastpacking around the Alps: Size matters. It seems a bit unnecessary to buy a new plug jist to spare some volume & weight, but i t adds up quickly.
Plus one of my friends accidentally snatched an old one from me while visiting, so fair enough.

3 years ago I bought my Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar. It worked flawlessly until a week ago. When the left middle button (Mode/Up) stopped working. Soaking the watch in warm soapy water didn’t help - it could have removed sweat/salt residue.
On Friday I contacted Garmin and today I posted the watch to them. They will replace it for free with a “new” (refurbished/recertified) one. Should only take a couple of days.
It was no questions asked resolution. This was suggested by them in their first direct reply.
Didn’t expect a completely free of charge (not even postage) replacement for a 3 year old watch.
While I am still critical on their Connect+ subscription and AI stupidity, I am positively surprised by the customer service so far (also the speed - got a reply within 60 minutes using their support form)
I have been doing 1-2 runs per week without a watch all year long. So I should be fine to do a couple more of them.
On yesterday's #TunnelVision #marathon #race (https://sigmoid.social/@BenjaminHan/115008049760755945), @recollir sent me this article: "How Much Does #Heat Affect Running Pace?" https://www.runnersworld.com/training/a65351982/heat-impact-on-running-pace/. In short: a runner can expect to add 20-30s/mi for every 5F increase above 60F.
So I adjusted my pace stats from yesterday, assuming linear temp change throughout the run, starting from 62F ending at 80F, 25s penalty/5F.
Result: adjusted finish time 3:16:12 pace 7’29”/mi !!! I could have BQ'ed!!! 😆
The important thing here with elevated temperatures on race day is to accept to not be able to run the pace and time one has hopped for to be able to do and just start with a slower pace right from the beginning (and say goodbye to the ego during warm up).
This will make the race still pleasant, and will avoid a lot of suffering at the end. But most importantly it will also allow for a faster recovery. And then maybe another attempt for a PB or BQ in the upcoming following weeks. Never wrong to have a second other marathon booked 4-5 weeks after the A goal marathon for another chance if things don’t work out.
Many years ago, wife ran the Stockholm marathon at 25C and more. She started directly conservatively with a pace 15s slower than initially planned (she was a sub 3h10min runner). Though it was her slowest marathon (3h26min) she did not suffer at all, enjoyed passing all the people (who went out too fast without considering the heat) in the last 10K and could even increase the pace a bit towards the end.
Heat over 20C == give up on initial pacing plans right from the beginning.
I ran my 3 fastest sub 2:50 marathons always in October (Frankfurt and Chicago). 5C-8C at the start and 10-12C towards the finish. Perfect conditions for PBs.
I did never ran a warm weather marathon at real race pace and pushed it there. It never made sense to me to sacrifice performance, energy and recovery during those conditions. Either I took it really easy or I intentionally DNF:ed them at 26-34K using them just as an assisted somewhat faster long run.

Day 15 after ligament rupture.
Went out for my first run since then. 2 hours something hike‘n run. Went okish, sometimes still a little pain but all right over all. 🤞
Temperature of 35/36° C was the real challenge. 🥵
#trailrunning #running #runnersofmastodon
4/n
It was so bad that I was actually having doubt if I could finish. Well, I persisted, and tried my best to have a strong-ish finish — at least about the same pace as how I started.
I was really disappointed with the result, but after a steak dinner, I felt much better. My quads and core definitely need more work, but I think heat also played a large part of today's poor showing.
My next marathon race in October is a flat one (~200ft) -- onward!
3/
The first half actually went according to plan - time was 1:40:44. But then disasters started to strike:
- Mile 17 my quads started complaining, especially the left one.
- Mile 20 it started threatening to quit (cramp). And my left big toe was complaining too (black toe AGAIN!).
- Shortly afterwards I started to have a side stitch.
2/
First, weather. We started out from Snoqualmie Pass at ~62F (16.7C) and finished at North Bend at ~80F (26.7C). There's actually a heat advisory out today (see picture) 🫠. Last year at North Bend around the same time the temp was ~68F (20C).
I grabbed electrolyte at every aid station, and consumed all of my 7 gels. It was hot. 🥵

Another treasure from the BBC archives. Also from the Scottish Highlands (the Ben Nevis run 👆).
Clever, with his “hidden” aid stations. Also no mountain bike needed back then.
Not going to try his breakfast and hydration on my runs though. 🥃🍺. I will leave the 🍺 to after and skip the 🥃. 😅

Short run around midnight. Didn't take a lamp and it was fine, even for the stretches when I went through the shrubs in the forest.
Not sure if I experienced the sunset or the sunrise... 🤔
Kurzer Lauf um Mitternacht herum. Hatte keine Lampe dabei, ging jedoch gut selbst als ich im Wald durchs Dickicht rannte.
Ob ich den Sonnenuntergang oder den Sonnenaufgang sah, weiss ich aber nicht... 🤔

An ad made it through my pi-hole based ad blocking…
It was actually funny to just see this ad. I am definitely in the target group. 🤣🤣🤣
Throwback to a great adventure I had 3 years ago: I ran Höga Kustenleden in Sweden (154km) solo and unsupported, carrying everything needed on my back, in a 9kg pack.
I remember it as being tougher than I anticipated and a nice 2 days spending time on my own in beautiful surroundings.

Enjoy some pictures and a report I wrote back then.

Kullamannen does not allow crews at any of the aid stations and the aid stations are rather few compared with other UTMB races - and have a rather limited selection of offerings.
Also having seen the “craziness” at some aid stations of WSER this year I had the same thoughts about F1/TdF and got rather “annoyed” by seeing the “stress” created there.
Another thought was brought up by Jim Walmsley about pacers for elite runners - getting rid of them (the pacers). It works in the rest of the world where the same elite runners participate. During WSER they are not even out in the dark…

This is why I enjoy of running in woodland. The random mix of farm/logging track to single track to a well used trail to "darn it" nettles and shoulder-ouch-high-arrgghh-my-new-top-ouch-brambles to a tunnel of wood.

🏃 Versucht die Kopfschmerzen "wegzulaufen" NOPE! Stattdessen ist der Rücken vom Rudern wieder da! Jetzt lohnt sich die 💊 Ibu! 😅
Hey, #runalyze kann jetzt auch Bilder verarbeiten, endlich 👍🕺
Weiß gar nicht wie lange das jetzt schon möglich ist! Gewünschte Werte/Felder kann man zum großen Teil selbst bestimmen, leider steht Kalorien nicht zur Auswahl. ABER, hey einer hat ja immer was zu moppern
Nicht so gemeint, DANKE dafür 🙏 @runalyze
Morning run.
Started under the clouds, but got into the sun once I climbed high enough. In specific figures, started at 53m above sea level and got up to 671m.
Different to what I am used to, amazing landscape.
Morgenlauf.
Lief unter den Wolken los, doch kam in die Sonne als ich hoch genug gestiegen war. In Zahlen, begann bei 53m ü. M und erreichte 671m.
Anders als was ich gewohnt bin, fantastische Landschaft.

And the winner von meinem gestrigen Schuhkauf ist der HOKA CHALLENGER 8 🥳
Es war der einzige Trailrunningschuh, in dem ich mir auch einen Ultramarathon vorstellen konnte.
Alle anderen Schuhe waren mir, trotz meiner schmalen Füße, irgendwie zu eng. Besonders im Vorderfussbereich 🤔🤷♂️
Daran scheiterte auch der SALOMON S/LAB ULTRA GLIDE 1.5. Was schade ist, da er ansonsten der beste Schuh war.

🏃 Schön Piano, mein Rücken konnte sich noch genauestens an die 10 km Rudern von gestern erinnern! 🙃
OT: Bin durch eine Baustelle gelaufen! Wahnsinn, es gibt einen Straßenbelag, der sich wiederverwenden lässt, nahezu unendlich oft! 🥁 Kopfsteinpflaster!
Wenn es den nicht gäbe, müsste man sowas erfinden! 💡
*Kann mich erinnern, dass es im Ruhrgebiet früher auch viele Straßen damit gab, die irgendwann geteert wurden!
Laufladen in Köln mit guter Beratung? Fehlanzeige! Also auf Empfehlung ab nach 7G-runergy in Bad Honnef.
Was passte, da der Laden auch Sponsor der Siebengebirgsmarathon ist.
Ziel war es, Schuhe fürs Trailrunning auf feuchtem Untergrund zu finden.
Und was war das für eine tolle Beratung inkl. Probelaufen aller Marken wie z.B. Salomon 👍👍👍
Ergebnis präsentiere ich dann morgen 😊

🫏⛰️ or 🐐⛰️ or 🐌⛰️…
Just realized that I passed 100000m of EG for the year at some point this week (or 328000ft).
While “only” doing about 2000km in these 7 months (a consequence of the training for Niesen and the steep outdoor stairs in the city). But it also means that I have been running with an average of 5% incline throughout the year. 😅
Very satisfied with the (so far) 100000m of EG.
