Friløbet 2010

And so I have completed my second goal in my marathon training!!

I ran 10km in Friløbet in Copenhagen today. It's a great run where you start outside Østerbro Stadium, run by the lakes, into and around Tivoli, back by the lakes, through Fælledparken, and then into Østerbro stadium!

The weather was almost perfect. No rain, no sun, just lots of clouds :) I was running a little into the wind on the way back from Tivoli by the lakes but it was nothing that really mattered.

My official time was 1 hour and 26 seconds!!!

Now I know that this time is not so good as my other "10km's". This is because my Nike+ sportband hadn't been calibrated so where I thought I was running a 10km it was more like a little under 9km.

The good news is that I actually beat my old "10km" time by over 2 minutes and did it in 55 minutes and 4 seconds!!

I, of course, have calibrated the sportsband now so am looking forward to my next 10km run to try and beat my time :)

Goal number 3 is calling and that's a 15km race! Probably the Nike Marathon Start-up on 31st October :)

Nike Running Denmark TakeCPH

As I am using the Nike+ sportband and have the chip in my shoe I signed up for a challenge called TakeCPH.

The TakeCPH challenge is where Copenhagen is seperated into different sections and the area you live in is the area you run for. Every km you run you can then take a square on the map of Copenhagen and it will turn the colour of your own area.

The area with the most coloured squares at the end wins!

Have a look at the site. It's actually pretty cool and encourages you to run further.

Nike+ SportBand 2

At last my Nike+ Sportband 2 has arrived from England!!

I bought it from there because it's half the price of the ones in Denmark. I got it from http://www.wiggle.co.uk/. They post to Denmark without postage costs if you buy for 500kr or more.

I had been using my mobile with a running application on it to measure my runs but I always worry about it falling out of my pocket.

I also bought a pair of socks and a water bottle belt as I'll need water once I start running longer distances.

I'm going out for a run this evening and am looking forward to using the sportsband :)
