Week 1 Training for a 34km Trail Race | 26.5km

This is Week 1 of training for NUTS Karhunkierros 34km trail race in Ruka in the end of May and my first step towards winter running. This week consisted of two easy runs, one tempo run and a long run that ended up being in misty rain. I totalled 26.5km. For my long run in the morning the prediction was meant to be colder and I quickly found out it wasn't. I’m a South African who’s lived in Finland for four years, and I’ve never run through the winter. Running North is my weekly journey from hot summers to snow, ice and dark Finnish winters. Current goal: NUTS Karhunkierros in May. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Week 1 intro 00:25 Easy Run #1 00:44 Tempo Run 01:30 Easy Run #2 02:08 Long Run 03:05 Dress too warm! 05:44 Post long run thoughts #trailrunning #autumn #autumnrunning #running #Finland
