This coming weekend I’ll give it a new try to complete two marathons within two days. It kinda failed on New Years Eve, however, this time I think the odds are better. For starters, I actually get to sleep a little between the two races 😉 Secondly, I’m in better shape now and have lost a few pounds as well. Thirdly, I can build on my past experience.

Luckilly, I woun’t be alone on this feat. My Swedish Master Lennart Skoog, especially, and my Danish running mate Leif Skinnerup will both also be in the races, ie. Aarhus marathon on Saturday and Storebaelt Nature marathon on Sunday.

Woohaa, do I look forward to this weekend..oh boy, oh boy 😉 Don’t tell this to someone sane 😉

A new Danish blog on marathon has seen the light of day. The blog is managed by a young runner Anders Kronborg and his writtings seem promising and kept up to date. I have added a permanent link. Good job, Anders !

My first marathon was in Copenhagen, Denmark almost three years ago, ie. the 16.05.2004.

Thus, my personal marathon year spands from the 16th of May each year. With my race in Vienna just this weekend, I have now completed my first three years of marathon running…and it has been quite a surprising programme…a schedule I would never have forseen or thought possible :

First year: 4 marathons, including Berlin and London !

Second year: 12 marathons, including Stockholm, Amsterdam, Dublin, Elbtunnel, Paris and Hamburg.

Third year: 28 marathons, including, well, too many to mention… New York, Boston, Rome, Barcelona, Vienna and Monschau on top. Not to mention ‘my own’ event GARMIN Rudersdal marathon.

You can find picture and stories from most of these races via ‘My marathons’ from the menu at the page right. 

I am planning to step down a little and do mainly Scandinavian races for the next time to come. See you out there ! 

Best wishes for your races, Tor 😉

Today, a press release has been sent to various Danish newspapers and likewise on the forthcoming ‘Rudersdal marathon’. The link to the race page is here:
