🏃‍♂️ Join me on my epic adventure as I tackle my very first half-marathon in the picturesque city of Uppsala, Sweden! 🇸🇪 In this video, I'll take you through the ups and downs of running 21 kilometers (13.1 miles) around four beautiful lakes, both on the road and through the enchanting forest trails. Trust me, it's an experience you won't want to miss!<br /><br />Before the race, we indulge in some serious carb-loading to fuel our bodies for the challenge ahead. From the train station registration to devouring a carb-rich meal at Khao Soi, I share my carb-loading secrets with you.<br /><br />Race day arrives, and I'm ready to conquer this amazing course. The Uppsala 6 Lakes race is a stunning backdrop for the run, but it's not without its challenges. The rugged terrain and forest trails test my running skills, especially as I'm not equipped for trail running. Will I twist an ankle? Watch to find out!<br /><br />As I take on the race, I share my thoughts and experiences mile by mile, kilometer by kilometer. From the excitement of the start to the midway plateau and the struggle during the third quarter, you'll witness the roller coaster of emotions that comes with long-distance running.<br /><br />The support of fellow runners and the breathtaking scenery help me power through to the finish line. And let's not forget the refreshing post-race dip in one of the lakes – a must for every Uppsala 6 Lakes race participant!<br /><br />Join me as I reflect on the race and the mixed emotions it brought. Speed and pace aren't everything; it's all about challenging ourselves and striving for self-improvement.
