Redefining distanspass
If a distanspass is supposed to be long and of low intensity, I think I missed the point with today's run. My goal was to at least make it around without stopping for a rest and that is a tall order for the over 10km loop I normally take.
It starts with the gradual hill to Björndammen then gets steeper up along the road to the start of the 5km running trail in Furulund. And what a start that is! Basically vertical hill and way way up. Guaranteed cramp monster by the time you reach the top. But once you do you only have to worry about the 5km of smooth löpspår which constantly goes up and down. And for the big finish you run down the hill with your stiff muscles, have a fartökning 400m from the finish and then sprint the last 50m at max.
I did make it but, as you can see above, I look pretty dead. Distans this was but this route will never be low intensity. I tried to measure the höjdmeter with my phone once and it said like 200m which I didn't believe at the time. But it could very well be.
