Trail and Ultra Running
Last week I was invited for a trail run through the Stevns Klint Trampesti. Martin Köppä has organized the event and prepared the route that we should follow (around 42km). We were 5 people meeting at Rødvig, on the 25th of January at 9:30: Dennis Clemmensen, Martin Köppä, Peter Jensen, Tracy Høeg and I. It took me a while for me to get there from Østerbro, almost 2 hours of...
After a long time out, without being able to run, I’m finally getting back slowly. It feels good to be able to run outside again, enjoy the nature and good company. Saturday, the 11th of January, Peter Jensen, Mads Blume, Christoffer Friman and I went for a run at Møns Klint. The main objective has to get some high meters and spend some hours running outside.
Saturday, the 17th of August I’ve ran the Winforce 100, which is a 100km trail run that happens in Odsherred, Denmark. A very nice thing about this race is that it is non-profitable. Ultrarun.com will donate all the profits to a danish institution called TUBA, which takes care of children whose parents are alcoholics and/or drug addicts. The 100km are split in 4 laps into a 25km course. Each lap...
Last week I had 2 days off and we went to Båring visiting Maibritt‘s parents. My mom is also visiting so it was a nice chance to show her a bit of Fyn. Maibritt and I went for a run in some very nice trails around Hindsgavl Slot (Middelfart). There are some nice single-trail stretches with some good steep hills. The area is also quite beautiful.
I went for a run to try the Winforce 100 route, which I’ll be running in August. Maibritt and I got a ride with Mads Nimann Jensen and we arrived there around 8:30AM. It rained the day before and the day was quite cloudy, chilly and with little rain. We all met at the start point, which is in a parking place in Odsherred, close to the beach (Højbjergvej, Ordrup,...
Salomon Hammer Trail is considered as the hardest trail run in Denmark and it happens in the the Danish island of Bornholm (in the hardest part of it). I’ve chosen to run the 50 miles distance this year, since I considered this distance to match my current shape and the kilometers I could put in my legs during the last 4 months or so. There are several distances, from 25km...
Ultraløbet Fyr-til-Fyr is a 60km trail run in the Danish island of Bornholm. The run starts at the lighthouse in the south of the Island (Duodde fyr) and goes through the east coast up to the lighthouse in the north of the island (Hammer fyr). Ultraløbet Fyr-til-fyr 2013 was the first edition of the run and approximately 85 runners showed up. The day was amazing: the sun was shinning and...
Last Saturday, the 27th of October 2012, I’ve participated on my first ultra run. The event is called CPH 6 hour run and it happens in Vallensbæk (Copenhagen Area). You basically run against the clock, trying to reach as far as you can in 6 hours. In order to time and measure the run properly, the scope of the event is reduced to a loop of 2221m around Tueholm lake....
