#running #laufen #blogbericht #ultrarunning

2nd run of my training weekend went ... Hmm
... I got a Marathon, thats great!
Anyway, I planned for 75k but after 40k there was no room for additional 4 to 5 hours, so I decided to take the next train home.
After all, I'm quite happy with the result. I think the tomorrows planned 50k will also end up earlier ... Let's see how far I can get.

Ready for a long running weekend: Riceballs and Brezels will join tomorrow :)
30k on Friday, 80k on Saturday and finally 50k on Sunday. Really looking forward to this special training weekend.

Dear friends,
On Thursday, 3 July, at 08:00, I leave on a great adventure. I am taking part in the Oslo Bergen Trail in Norway.

Along the way there are 8 check points where I can get supplies and possibly sleep. For the rest, I am self-supported. My pack with all the mandatory kit and the necessary food and drink weighs about 9kg.

You can follow me along and maybe post an encouraging message on my personal Ferrett site: https://ferrett.io/u/teufen/obt500

Every time I run a 50 miler I message myself during the last few miles saying "do not ever do 100 miles, you'll hate it, it costs £££, and you will probably DNF".

And yet here I sit seeing the date that SDW100 entries go on sale thinking maybe, just maybe.

New Backyard Ultra world record by Phil Gore (AUS). 119 yards or 797.3km in 119 hours or 4days 23 hours. 😳🙌

With slow pace and a lot of breaks I somehow managed to complete my first proper ultra race in a bit over 19 hours.

Nice long run today. Pace and Energy was quite good until 35km, then my power dropped constantly. Managed to run until 47km and then walked the rest.

Maybe I had a little bit the man with the hammer, maybe it was to hot, maybe the trailrunning last weekend was still in my bones, many maybes ... Anyway, 47km is a good result and there is still time left until my 100miles in August. So, next week I will do a couple of 35km runs

I feel ready.

Saturday will probably be the toughest day of my life. I'm curious to see where my limits are and if I'm able to push through them.

Training went well. Solid training block of 50k+ weeks. No injuries. No illneses.

Gear is ready to be packed. I believe I have everything I need.

Couldn't be a better setup to start tomorrow at 23.00.

It's around 15°C outside and pitchblack. Sunrise is in about two and a half hours.

#running #ultrarunning

A bit late but I finished my run after 4:40h and a total of 50.5k.
It was a bit of a slog, but I'm happy I did it.

To test it out I've recorded my thoughts on several points during the run, so for anyone interested; here follows a thread of how my run went

🧵 #running #ultrarunning

✅ Race: mozart 100 by UTMB

We started at 05:00 and I was in at 23:50; after 18 hours and 48 minutes.

Austria 🇦🇹 when it’s best 🤩. 80% good weather. Then rain showers 🌧️. Super scenic. Lots of hiking but also lots of running 🥳🤩

The last 10 kilometers - although on paper short - took an eternity 🤭 due to darkness, rain ➡️ mud, massive technical downhill and 1 million stairs UP at Kapuzinerberg. But then; the finish line 🤗

Sunday will be race day for me.

Tracking link for the Northern Traverse is now open. Race starts 08:30 Saturday UK time. I’m bib number 73. Watch out for Damian Hall (bib 76) who is aiming to break the course record. Conditions look great but cold at nights. Excited and nervous in equal parts. Nowhere to hide now so I just need to deliver a finish, probably some time next Wednesday. #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #running #NorthernTraverse https://live.opentracking.co.uk/northerntraverse2025/

I just finished reading Aurélien Sanchez's after race report on his Barkley Marathons finish in 2023.
What a great story! Well narrated, it brings the reader completely in the Barkley's atmosphere. (Or what I could imagine it is, as I have never experienced this first hand).

Highly recommended!

✅ Wayout Backyard Ultra | 20 hours | 134K

Most of you already know by now; I had a wonderful (trail) backyard race. It started Friday at 20:00 where it was dark. Then we ran through the night and morning. And a bit more. I stopped after 20 hours with good legs and good mood. TBH: I was just very tired and mentally I didn’t have the attitude to keep on. Family time called 😆(and food/sleep).

Unbeaten social event: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just came back from my long run. It was the first time ever, that I run at night. Started 8pm and came back 11:40pm. Feeling was good. Maybe because of the string coffee before start :)
I also tested 2 gels (high five and powerbar) and one bar (Xenofit). The powerbar gel caused some hickups in the stomach, whereas the Xenofit bar was hard to bite, but felt good once it was "down".

Energy gels and a spreadsheet

First 30k long run this morning. I forgot to load my headphones, so I ran without any sound, just my thoughts and me (and a few earworms). It was quite cold and dark because started at 3:45 a.m.
Also finished finished testing High5 energy gels: They are a bit hard to open, but taste yummi.

First competition for monthes. And the first since 21 monthes without pain!
I had planned to run a marathon but it was a good decision to „only“ run the half-marathon. Enjoyed the the athmosphere at the #tressseemarathon in #munkwolstrup. It was colder than expected and foggy, but the result was ok‘ish, at least below 2 hours.
Most important: no pain with my knees and feet!
Found out at home that this was my first competition in M60, now I‘m reeeaaally feeling old. 🥴

#running #trailrunning #ultrarunning

Typically I start my longer runs early on Sunday morning.... but how did this "early" changed during my life?
I checked my data back until 2011 and sorted out all runs on a Sunday and plotted them: It startet with a start time at around 8 a.m. and declined over time until today to a start time at around 4:30 a.m.
What's your start time and did this also changed over the years?
#running #runnersofmastodon #ultrarunning

Wish I had a qualifier in place 🙃. Since I heard about this race on one of my running audio books 📚 I must say it spiked a certain interest.

Last year I did participate in a 12h race to see if I could keep up the pace long enough … but that was when the heat got to me and my system shutdown (crazy noob experience btw). Only ran ~100K there.

I have other major races this year that practically cannot be used as qualifiers either. Another year perhaps 😆

#running #ultrarunning

Today and tomorrow is adventure time!
I am now sitting on a train to Marloie, where I will start to run a 130km loop using the Transfamenne and part of Transardennaise long distance paths.
Full pack with sleeping system, spare clothes, food and drinks, medikit, waterproof pants and jacket, ...
Good for 7.5kg. (I ditched the stove and hot meal)

👏🏻100+ Road ish run | LNBK Ringkøbing Fjord Winter Edition 2025

7th of 34 finishers (40+ starters). Some were still out there 2h30m after I finished. I am home again - legs are busted. Proud with the result.

The finishers before me were very good 🤯 - kept up with most of them the first 30+ ish but had to fallback; the pace wasn’t sustainable for me. 10K before the finish line I passed 1 of them (gone cold).

My training for the 100miles in August starts next week. For that, I try some recommendations from Jason Koop:
- Focus on Intervals and Tempo at the beginning and endurance at the end of the plan
- Start the training block with the hardest workout and then reduce to the next week

See how this works for me. Has anyone tested it?
