On Sunday I am taking part in the largest organized fun run in Denmark: Eremitageløbet. On Sunday approximately 19,000 people are going to run 13.3 km each. As I wrote earlier I received my start number a little over a week ago. Today, I had agreed to run the route with my brother since he had never run the route, and I just needed to get out an run a bit.
(more…)Eremitageløbet is the largest race in Denmark, usually with around 20,000 runners. With that many runners they are forced to group runners according to the time they ran the year before. This means that runners who compete for the first time end up in the grey group and all the way at the end.
I just received my start package for this year. My start number is 7495 which puts me in the middle of the fourth (blue) group. Should I achieve my goal of running the 13.3 km in one hour this year I will surely move up, but I guess I should start by going running.
I have written about Nike+ before, and I still think one of the best aspects is the challenges.
This month I took part in one particular challenge called “100-mile August”. Basically the challenge is to run 100 miles (160.93 km) during the month of August.
