We've done in-person races, virtual races... and now, even fake races! keeponrunning.net/a-fake-rac…

We did the Tankwa Trail last weekend! A 3-day event: 5k fun run, 20k run on Saturday and Sunday. 😀 I won the 2nd prize in the "Matriarch" category... 😬 #tankwatrail

Ran up Table Mountain twice for the Cableway Charity Challenge. Great fun! 😊 #naflagvisorww #naflagvisor

Enjoyed the wonderful trails of the De Hoop nature reserve in South Africa. The once nearly extinct bontebok antelope is thriving. Also had open-air showers 😀

For those of you who enjoy race recaps, here's one from my ultra race last Saturday. 😊 keeponrunning.net/we-did-the…

So happy to have completed a 76k ultra in South Africa yesterday. 😀 The last few kilometres were tough and ugly...but so glad I finished! Thank you all for your encouragement during the months of training! 🤗

Thank you, Terje! I hope you are well!

Last long run until the ultra race in two weeks. 😊👍🏻 #Addo

New blog post with lots of sunny photos. What is it like to run along Cape Town's promenade? @CapeTown keeponrunning.net/lets-run-a…

Back in Cape Town and continuing the ultra training. All the elevation of this run was in the first 21k. I need to find a better route. 😊

A slow 15k due to the icy paths. I always get very cold hands despite hand warmers and several layers. 🥶 And I also get knots in my hair from wearing a hat.🙄 Nonetheless, I prefer the outdoors to the treadmill.😀

Finally no snow or rain in Zurich! A 20k in preparation for the 4-hour long run tomorrow. 😊 How long are your long runs? 2, 3, 4 hours or longer?

A hot 20k today. Went to Cape of Good Hope yesterday, so I added coastline photos from that too.😊 Have a wonderful day everyone!

A glorious 20k on the trails today. It was 30 degrees Celsius and I forgot sunscreen but fortunately, we had a lot of shade. 😊

Rest day! 😊 Checked out Simon’s Town and neighbourhood. 👍🏻 Tomorrow I’ll be back with running pics! 😊

A lovely hike up Table Mountain! It took us 1h 10min and 3‘500 steps. It’s like a giant staircase. Great training, but I think I'll feel it tomorrow! 😬

Last week I had one of those inexplicably bad runs. I think we all get them from time to time. What is your strategy for overcoming them? Plod through? Abort? keeponrunning.net/an-inexpli…

Today’s run felt much better than yesterday's slog. Strange how it can change from one day to the next. And spotted a snake too! 🐍😊 Run followed by a visit to the vineyards.
