I am very excited to be a part of this journey! I will post a weekly update here, but longer versions can be found from my blog katikaa.blog in addition to some extra bits and pieces along the way.

I started training again last week after being sick. Managed to do a short 5k first run at summer cottage and another at a national forest. Not that good trail, very narrow and a bit of rain so slippery, but slowly does it. To the lake and back exactly 10 k’s.

It felt good and could have easily done more, but as this was more recreational (swim in the lake naturally!) and we did not have more time so decided to turn back at the second lake.

Lovely spot for a swim @Salamanjärvi National Park

Third run was just a quick forest trail run, local outdoor gym stop combined with two uphill dashes. 41 minutes, one 50 m hill and one 90 m hill full speed up. This was my HIIT for the week. Fourth run was a 5,6 km trail run again in the same familiar terrain starting right from my front door.

Weekly total
Altogether 4 trail runs, 347 m ascent and 23,83 km distance plus one gym session. Feeling is good, looking forward to next week!
