A middle aged Finn with a soft spot for #trailrunning.

I went for a short run in Sipoonkorpi national park yesterday, to see how the autumn is progressing. Feel free to hop in and see for yourself! Spoken in Finnish, with embedded English subs.

Friday trails. Slow start, until I had an idea to speed up and run that 10km loop (which wasn't the original plan).

That was fun!

Team Nordic Trail group run last night, theme of the day: short intervals.

I usually run solo, but joining a weekly group session isn’t bad at all — I get to try things I’d never do alone. And meeting people doesn't hurt either 😁

My another hobby (in addition to running) is astronomy/astrophotography.

I just searched for new people to follow, with term "runner". Two in the top list were also astronomers.

Some unspoked connection between the two fields? 😁

I need to remind myself, that not every run needs to be an epic trail adventure.

That's the goal for September: back to basics.

Downgraded Nuuksio Classic (Finland - 6th of September) distance from 70km to 42km. I'm not feeling fit for ultra.

Marathon should ok(ish) for now.

I went to experience the so-called Ilvesreitti (literally: Lynx trail).

If you want to hear me singing (you really don't) or see me stripping, go and watch.

Consider subscribing if you want to see more madness like this. Thanks!

Last weekend I participated in Tiirismaa Trail 42k race. Did not go quite as planned, but it was fun anyways - at least afterwards.

Check out the video, if interested in such madness 😄

RLS (restless legs syndrom) and heat. I haven't suffered such a thing before but perhaps it's the inevitable aging together with the first heat wave of the year.

I don't like it.

Well this is it, first episode of my first ever YouTube series - about my journey towards 70k trail ultra.

More to come, wish me luck! 😁
