Top of the world ma! Well nearly as this is the second highest point in DK, a dizzy -are you sitting down - 147m, yes you read it correctly one hundred and forty seven earth meters above sea level, and therefore aptly named the Sky Mountain!
What blew my mind was that I had forgotten about the scout camp nearby. So it was a massive trip down memory lane, when I ran through the camp. It is at least 40-45 years since I camped here and ran around these woods.
Only 5km not like @moelholm who did dot watching distances here ;)

First run in nearly four weeks, finally had time between travelling, working and low temps. Lungs still there, legs a bit stiff, I so need to remember to stretch even when I don't run.
Paddy the Irish mutt was also happy to be out in temps that is more normal for us northern souls. Though there talk about 26c on Friday, in Denmark, that's that's like 40c for a French person in French Pyrenees in France ;)
Someone put out a full video of the entire Niesen Treppenlauf race. Shows nicely how narrow all the stairs are, and how “quiet” the race is with everyone being focused on their own “challenge and suffering”.
I am passed at around 1:01:00 to 1:02:00 into the video (black short and blue/green shirt - not fully visible). The guy has a strong technique and amazing finishing time.

Felt better, stuff I had to do at home done, rewarded myself with a leg check/shake
Nose still #running along
Throat sore, but i felt good, the weather was perfect, the mountains beautiful and the ticks easy to spot afterwards.

*Val D’Aran 2025 Results*
Europe’s Major the Hoka Val D’Aran was last weekend in the Pyrenees mountains of Spain, and just like clockwork the weather plays tricks on the organizers. Several events had to be shortened and their routes adjusted. But, double stones were at stake, so over 5,000 runners put on their bibs and got things done. Find […] …

*Fire and Ice at Western States*
I’m back home from an absolute epic trip to the Alps where I ran my longtime dream race, Lavaredo Ultra Trail 120K in the Italian Dolomites. It was my Valhalla and will deserve its own post – forthcoming! In past years I followed Western States from afar – due to the media hype around it […] …

12.5K Run | Hello France
We have arrived in France for our summer vacation .
We had a stop and sleepover in Brussels - Belgium - Saturday to Sunday. That was nice - saw manneken pis, went to a cartoon museum, ate orig waffles
and generally just relaxed a bit. Also went for a run there down around the European Quarter and dropped by zenneke pis for a selfie
Rainy days now. Looks like it’ll be sunny again from Wednesday
*Francois D’Haene Sets New Nolan’s 14 FKT*
Just posted on his Instagram, still awaiting official verification: It’s a route I’d been dreaming of for years. Fourteen peaks at over 14,000 feet, a wild south-to-north traverse of this area of Colorado without markers or respite. It was a raw adventure, shared with a great team. And now, a new reference time: 35:33’41. François […] …

Résumé of today's #trailrunning :
Went for 20k despite a lingering cold.
Got in very bad shape during 1st climb, no juice, big headache, pain in left ear.
Call it quit and ran back home
Collapsed in sofa, slept for 2 hours.
Now hungry, completely energy less.
Hope this will not jeopardize my stint in Alps this week.

Aletsch Halb - An extremely runnable trail
half marathon with views on the remainders of the longest glacier in Alps. Tons of gorgeous views. Amazing spectators. Really happy with my performance. Not so much with the incredible amount of people and queuing. But overall 10/10 worth it, would recommend.

Approaching the obelisk; from yesterday’s run between Weymouth and Lulworth cove in Dorset, on the south coast of England. Today was a lot more hilly. #trailrunning #running
