Emelie runs!
I'm Emelie and I live in Gothenburg, Sweden.

I’m not known for writing blogs close to events and this one is no change. I wrote this only 2 weeks after the magic Snowdonia weekend 2019 but somehow never posted it. And now it really is ages ago but when I started to plan my next trip to the UK it f...
In 2018 I decided to run the Snowdonia marathon and thought that a 30k trail-ish race 4 weeks ahead was the perfect last long run. It worked ok so in 2019 I decided on the same combo. In the weeks before Lidingöloppet, as the race is called, I had been ...
Alarm went of at 4:30, Max was already up taping her feet and I tried to start eating. I always struggle in the morning and race day is no exception. I think I managed almost one cup of porridge and 2 bananas. That wouldn’t get me through the day but at...
I had a plan for this year, that I set up in March, and that was to run my first ultra in August. It seemed like a good amount of time to train for it properly. But it didn’t take long before that plan was revised, not that the ultra-thing was taken awa...
Trying the new Realbuzz app to write this post, so far I like it a lot! As I wrote in my last post I have set some goals for my running this year. Some harder than others, but still fairly reachable. The first thing to do on the road to reach them were ...
When Facebook is down, what do you do? Well you blog of course! I thought it was time to reveal my thoughts on 2019, just to get it in print. Also it's harder to chicken out if you have told your friends about your plans haha.
The year have started a ...
It might be a little late for a 2018 summaries, but I'm on a blog roll so I'll just keep going. =)
After Snowdonia it was like popping a balloon, all my energy left me, both physicaly and mentaly. I had one weeks complete rest from training, but then w...
I have a few more race reports to write, and maybe even a 2018 summary, but for now let's jump to the present, or at least last weekend. I spent a few days in London with my sister, her two kids and my husband. The kids got the trip for Christmas, inste...
This blog has absolutely no running in it, not even a run for a train. It is mostly for me to remember this weekend, so feel free to click next if you want to. =)
After the race and a little recovery on my room it was time for the annual big buzzer bon...
Here is the RR from Snowdonia marathon, as always it's a long one, so get a pot of tea and enjoy! =)
On Saturday morning I was woken up by a nice hail shower. Not what you want to hear the morning of a marathon. My alarm went of at 7:30, and I started...
So the best weekend of the year was coming up! I will write a separate RR because I tend to write quite a lot, so this will hopefully make it easier to read. =)
I left Gothenburg on Thursday afternoon, I worked half the day before I took the bus to th...
The week after Lidingöloppet I didn't feel very well. It wasn't anything obvious like a sore throat or a fever, just a feeling of unwell. During some of my runs the last few weeks I had experienced trouble taking deep breaths, much like what I felt in S...
Long time no see, dear buzzers. I have a lot of catching up to do after this not so great autumn. So I hope to get a few race reports in here now, just to have them to look back at.
In my last blog I was just about to do Lidingöloppet, a 30k trail-ish...
Hi buzzers,
I'm behind on the blogging again, life seems to have other plans for me all the time. Autumn is a busy period apparently. I left you last time after some hill reps I had done, part of my preparations for Snowdonia marathon.
That weekend (...
After my almost Ultra my legs totally gave up and forced me to rest, in alliance with the bloody, oh I mean wonderful, heat. Yes that heatwave that hit Sweden in May stayed until mid August, with only a few days with rain during that period. A lot of fo...
So I left you all with a bit of a teaser when I last wrote. My vacation was coming up and since the whole Race to the stones-plan didn't work out I decided to have a go on ultra running on my own. Or as on many occations, with my mum.
I had had my eye...
A bit late, but not quite as late as last year! Here is my race report from the scorcher that was Stockholm marathon 2018.
I traveled to Stockholm on Friday lunch, and made it there after some disturbances and messages about canceled trains and things...
19 weeks (and 3 days) have passed since I started this training plan. Can't believe it's time now. This is how last week went and at the end comes my race plan for Saturday.
After the wedding last Saturday I had gotten cold standing outside waiting for...
Coming home from a holiday is of course never as nice as going on a holiday. A week away from my job meant about 100 unread email in my inbox, lots of calls and lots to catch up on. The good thing about it was that the weather had taken influence from G...
Ok, I found a new theme for my headlines. =) =)
After the weekend in London I only had to work 4 days before it was time to pack the bags again and go on the next holiday, this time I was heading to Greece and the lovely island of Rhodes.
I managed t...
It's been a while, and to write about all that's been going on in one blog would not be possible. =) But when I left you it was time for the London Marathon, I was only going as a spectator this year but planned some running during the weekend. After al...
Hi buzzers!
I expect next weekend will result in a very long blog so think it's best I report tha last week right now, before all the London madness. =) This was my 13th week of marathon training, and it included Friday the 13th, so has this been my we...
Hi buzzers!
Another 2 weeks have gone by, and I have had my first sick leave from marathon training. Fortunately it was not the flu or anything worse, so only a couple of days of. But lets take it from the beginning of Easter week, where I left you las...
Hi buzzers! Another catch up-blog, two weeks this time. I tried to keep it short, but we all know how that usually goes. It has been my weeks 9 and 10 in training, and they have been pretty good when it comes to the actual running. Mentally I have had a...
