September. The course runs in a park and along the Thames and is, according to the organizers, "flat as a pancake", although it may not be among the fastest due to some bends and different surfaces.We have been recommended Claytonhotelchiswick which is 15 minutes easy jog from the start.
In addition, for logistical reasons, it is recommended to book a flight to Heathrow if you intend to stay in Brentford.
(Reminder that you can book sports tickets with SAS as GTI members)
You book everything yourself.If support for the trip is approved, a travel invoice will be submitted afterwards.

Karmøy Marathon 2023

"Then my fifth Karmøy Half Marathon was completed.
A race that has become a tradition for me .
My goal this time was to enjoy myself and experience how nice it is to run.
It was hard to run against the wind and in the cold, so when there was a bit of a tailwind I was very happy.
Even though I didn't achieve a personal best, I'm left with an incredibly good running experience and feel very proud of my own efforts. .
The reason I come back to the Karmøy Marathon is because it's a really great event.
What was nice is that the half marathon course goes back and forth and I meet runners from different distances and at different levels.
A lot of people greet and cheer each other on as you pass.
One of the highlights after the race is a massage from Klinikk Selsaas.
This was my last planned race for 2023, but I've already signed up for the Solastranden 10 km in January and the Robustløpet Half Marathon in February."
Fall 23 - Ultra runner Simen Holvik
"After Death Valley, I spent a few weeks recovering before putting my backpack on my back (with sleeping bag and tent) and running from Prekestolhytta to Oslo Central Station. It was a train I had to catch. Then came September and the Spartathlon. Beforehand, I had a training trip to Sparta where I ran the last part of the course. Spartathlon (246 km and 3000hm) ended with a 2nd place despite major challenges with diarrhea and vomiting. The time was a new Nordic record. After this race, Jann Post in NRK stated the following: "He has reached the class where you can say that he is the best male ultra runner Norway has ever had." But the year is not over. On November 17, I'm running a 48-hour race in the USA. The goal is to set a new world record. Other than that, I've quit my job (to be able to continue in 2024). In addition, a book will be published by Jæren Forlag in the fall of 2024."

Fall 2023 Rasmus Pedersen
Rasmus Pedersen SPRINT
Many people know Rasmus Pedersen after he told his story about, among other things
cancer and exercise this spring.
The podcast Lavterskel has its own episode from March 17, well worth a listen.
We asked him for a little summary of the season
The preseason in 2023 started on 11.
April with the very first "jog" and subsequent calm plan for training.
April and May were trained at a low heart rate, but I let my body work a little muscularly with sessions where I had 100m uphill running or 60m drag as important sessions.
In June, I slowly increased both volume and pace and throughout July I was balancing on a "knife edge" with the risk of injury.
A hamstring cramp had to be controlled and a period of painful Achilles after too much volume with pace in sprint shoes were the big challenges.
The goal was to run one race in 2023, the 400m at the European Championships in Pescara.
The goal was achieved and afterwards I have calmed down somewhat on the sprint training and increased the volume and aerobic amount until indoor training allows for pure sprinting and building up to the World Championships in Gothenburg in Aug. 2024.
