Maybe double threshold isn’t just for people running 150 km a week.

That was always how I looked at it.

But I tried it this week for a different reason.

I’ve had recurring calf issues, so instead of putting all my threshold work into one longer session, I split it into two.

One in the morning and one around 6.5 hours later, with proper food and recovery in between.

And honestly, session two felt surprisingly good.

Is it less convenient? Definitely. Two warm ups, two cool downs, two showers 😂

But for me, the interesting part isn’t doing more.

It’s seeing if I can distribute the work in a way my body handles better.

Will I keep doing it? I don’t know yet.

But I’ll definitely try it again.

Have you tried double threshold, if so what do you think about it?

What the hell happened yesterday? 😂

Going into Stockholm Half Marathon, I had no idea what to expect.

Training had been far from ideal. Injuries on and off, no consistent running block, pretty low mileage, and I honestly can’t remember the last time I ran much further than 10 to 14 km.

I basically run Stockholm Half because it’s Stockholm. That’s it 😂

So this felt like a complete wildcard.

And somehow I ran 1:31:22 and took 7 minutes off my half marathon PB.

I’m still a little confused about how that happened.

This was also the best I’ve ever felt during a half marathon. The whole race I kept waiting for the moment where it would start hurting.

It just never came.

Pacing was probably the hardest part. There was no 1:30 pacer in my start group, so I had to figure it out myself. I’m also still running with my Apple Watch, against everyone’s recommendations 😂, and I thought I was averaging around 4:16/km.

Apparently I wasn’t.

Luckily I found @elolisos9 somewhere along the course and basically used him as my pacer for most of the race. Huge thank you for that.

With about 3 km left I remember thinking, wait, I actually have a lot more in me.

Everything still felt good, so I just went for it.

I pushed the last few kilometres hard and ended up running my fastest kilometres right at the end.

Crossing the finish line, my first thought was that I probably could have pushed harder.

Pretty crazy considering how nervous I was going into this.

More than anything, this race reminded me that you can sometimes do a lot more than you think you can.

And now I’m really curious.

What could happen if I actually trained properly for a half marathon?

For now though, we reload.

Six weeks until Hässelbyloppet 10K.

Let’s see if there’s another PB in there.

One product that actually changed my mind.

I had heard about bone-conduction headphones, but I was always a little skeptical about whether they’d actually be any good.

Then I randomly tried on a pair of Shokz in a store and had one of those ”okay... I need to give these serious try” moments.

So I reached out to Shokz, they sent me a pair, and since then I’ve been using them for everything: easy runs, long runs, intervals, and even race day.

I don’t promote many products on here, but when I find something I actually use and really like, I’m happy to talk about it.

Swedish royal run 🇸🇪

Probably one of the nicest places for a run in Stockholm. A mix of open fields, trails, hills and some pretty cool history and small cafés along the way#.

You also have to be a little careful where you film since the Crown Princess and her family actually live inside the park 😅

Definitely one to check out if you’re running in Stockholm.

Göteborgsvarvet 🌟

What a weekend.

A huge thank you to @vitaminwellsverige for bringing us together and making it all possible. Amazing organization, great energy, and most importantly, great people.

Honestly, I wasn’t even sure I’d make it to the start line. I’ve been dealing with an injury, and during the warm-up I was still thinking, ”This probably isn’t happening.”

But somehow, it did.

I was fortunate to run alongside my friend @emelieakessons who was also returning from injury, and having someone by your side for 21 kilometers means more than you’d think.

This wasn’t close to a personal best, but that was never the goal. It was about being back, enjoying in the atmosphere, meeting incredible people, and remembering why races like this are so special.

If you’ve never run @gbgvarvet, I can’t recommend it enough.

Already looking forward to next year. 👊
