Killer Intervals

Described by Strava as a “killer interval workout”, I gave my all in the hills of Skatås today, seeing my heart rate climb above 170 bpm and “pushing into anaerobic zones with strategic intensity”. Still, after listening to Seth James DeMoor recapping his training blocks ahead of two different half marathons on Youtube, I was reminded that nothing really beats low-heart-rate volume when it comes to running. With that in mind, I think I should sign up for the Nora Half Marathon in mid-September. That will be about six weeks after my first 100-mile race – enough time to recover but also soon enough to reap the full benefits of what I am hoping will be a high-volume summer.

As for my day job, it truly made my day yesterday when I read the following lines in the preface of a student thesis that I have just finished supervising:

"I och med detta arbete avslutar jag mina tre år på Högskolan i Halmstad, och jag vill rikta ett stort tack till alla som har hjälpt mig under resans gång för att nå detta mål. Ett särskilt stort tack till min handledare Rasmus Karlsson som har visat mig otrolig stöttning och fantastisk vägledning under skrivprocessen."
