Day 17 / sub 40 – 30min easy 6x1min fast with 1min slow – 1min @ Race Pace F
Today was a great running day. Even though the temperature was -5 degrees Celsius here in AlingsÃ¥s. The wind was still and the snowy surface was perfectly hard. It didn’t feel that hard at all to switch to the 1 min intervals after 30 min of slow running. Sometimes it does.
One day I will have to attach a photo of how the surroundings here look like now when they’re covered in white. It’s very beautiful. When there’s no snow Sweden can be very dark and unfriendly in wintertime. We only have around seven hours of daylight here then, but the white snow really lights up in a nice way.
