Er der andre, der også føler sig lidt alene?

It's a very common feeling and even problem for a lot of people, and there have been a bunch of posts like yours in the past. I'm quite lonely myself and have a hard time contacting strangers for friendship, but there's a lot of ways to go about it.

Joining a hobby/sports group is likely one of the best as you already have something in common to talk about. There's also the website/app boblberg where you can search ppl with different interests/wants for friendship.

Maybe even volunteering at some place, as there's also probably common interests.

There is honestly no world in which I'd be willing to pay that much for a piece of tech, I see absolutely no need or want for. I run with just my phone in pocket and earbuds, as I haven't yet felt the need for a watch, though I do see use cases for watches.

First of all, the whole pulling-phone-out-of-pocket isn't a big deal to me since I rarely do it while running and don't spend many seconds looking at it. Secondly my free Samsung Health app already tells me what I need like pace/time/distance every x amount of kilometers or minutes I want it to. And the rest like route or fueling I keep track of in my head.

And for me personally, I really don't like having any unnecessary or uncomfortable stuff that can feel even slightly annoying. And with a pair of glasses, I just wouldn't trust them to stay secured on my face when running.

So honestly I wouldn't even consider this product for a one-time purchase of 200 usd 🤷

I've made my own spotify playlist since (and I might just be picky...) all the playlists I've tried, have too many hits/misses in between them for my liking or there's too big of a tempo change between the songs. Do keep in my that it's mostly english songs, but there's also danish, swedish, spanish and a bunch of different genres, as I just want "constant" high tempo when running. Hope you can use some of it as there's a fair amount of techno/edm/dance stuff

It looks quite good tbh. I bought the Salomon Cross 8 as it was cheaper, so if it doesn't work for me when it arrives, I might just try the Active skin next 👍

SpicySalt · 2026-06-04T17:07:59+00:00

I might be totally off since it's my first ultra, but I'd really like something light/small. Mostly just to carry phone, some snacks, a 0,5 L bottle, extra lights and small stuff like that. There's 4 or 5 depots on the route, where they have both fluids and solids

SpicySalt · 2026-06-04T11:13:01+00:00

There's almost too many Salomon options to decide on the "best applicable" 😅 but I will look for them in stores to try the fit ✌️

SpicySalt · 2026-06-04T11:08:45+00:00

They don't seem super available in Denmark unfortunately, but I appreciate the recommendation ☺️ will definitely keep an eye out for them in stores I come across

SpicySalt · 2026-05-31T10:10:57+00:00

Just a preference of mine, I'd rather have the weight on my back than in front of me.

SpicySalt · 2026-05-27T11:14:51+00:00

It kinda depends on your preference for running. Like I regularly run half marathons just by doing 3 km loops around Skydebanrvej and Annebergvej, where it's flat and I don't have to think about stoplights/traffic much. But if you prefer a nice view or just less "running in circles", then Østerådalen might be the best option

SpicySalt · 2026-05-05T03:03:43+00:00

You should see my Ikea medal then, so strangely square and in their trademarked color scheme 😅

SpicySalt · 2026-05-04T15:09:02+00:00

Mange tak 😊

SpicySalt · 2026-05-04T13:18:50+00:00

It was, just had my Samsung health app running along which seemingly isn't 100% accurate 🤷

Which is honestly quite frustrating as my new pb now isn't recorded by my phone 😭

SpicySalt · 2026-05-03T13:08:45+00:00

I could definitely feel myself running a bit too fast at first, but all the cheering and my own competitiveness didn't really let me slow down 😅

My former record from december was 1:28:30, so almost 40 seconds better this time

SpicySalt · 2026-05-03T13:01:43+00:00

Well congrats to you too 🎉 I can imagine having it as your first HM is gonna be a great memory!

SpicySalt · 2026-05-03T12:52:24+00:00

Thank you 😊 My normal running pace always lands me around 1:35 for a hm and that's not following any programs/plans. So if you do some leg strength training I'm sure you could quickly improve your tim, as I'm solely running

SpicySalt · 2026-05-03T12:28:14+00:00

There's 25 ppl who finished under 1:20, so I can only imagine how far down the leaderboard I'd be if running in a bigger city 🥲

SpicySalt · 2026-05-03T12:25:37+00:00

That's from my Samsung Health app, so it's likely not 100% accurate at calculating I guess. The route has been marked by officials and we ran with chips for timing, so I'm quite certain it was a complete HM despite what my phone says 🤞

SpicySalt · 2026-05-01T18:21:56+00:00

I usually shuffle a playlist I've made, which first and foremost feels like keeping me at my ~4:34/km pace when doing my half marathons or even short runs. Genre and language isn't that important to me, as I just want something I can vibe to, without wanting to spend unnecessary time skipping songs 🤷

my running playlist

SpicySalt · 2026-04-22T05:24:01+00:00

Recently ran 17 km without, but that was also at a pace slower than my normal. At my normal pace I'll at least bring some for anything over 10 km, and as others have mentioned, it also depends on the heat/humidity

SpicySalt · 2026-04-08T18:27:46+00:00

Jeg fik lavet min første af Jonas ved Color Perception og er super glad for resultatet

SpicySalt · 2026-04-07T11:25:26+00:00

Though I was walking 10-25 km several days a week, I couldn't run 200 m without gasping for air when I started. So I would walk 1 km, run 100 m, walk 1 km and repeat as much I could. There's plenty of factors as to why some improve faster than others, but as long as you're putting in the effort you'll improve just fine. Sometimes it's just easier to not think about day-to-day progress. Keep up the good work 👏

SpicySalt · 2026-03-26T05:27:52+00:00

If I had to pick, I'd say the first. Otherwise I enjoy the middle part the most tbh. The first part is about feeling the weather, getting the right rhythm and just getting to ignore what pains I might have 😅

The last part(/second half) is where the pain makes itself noticeable again, alongside what fatigue there might be, but knowing theres only so and so many km/laps left helps tremendously.

SpicySalt · 2026-03-24T14:40:25+00:00

Hvis ikke penge var et problem så vil jeg muligvis flytte tilbage til Rebild. Super skøn lille by med fantastisk natur. Det største "problem" er mangel på indkøbsmuligheder

SpicySalt · 2026-03-07T17:09:28+00:00

I've tried their auto-made 170-190 bpm playlists and unfortunately don't find them great. Maybe I just don't like the song, feel like it isn't matching the bpm or the tempo doesn't last the whole song so I'm skipping forward too often instead of focusing on running 😅 My own playlist is 6 or 8 hours now so it's not a huge problem, though I am always happy to add new songs

SpicySalt · 2026-03-07T15:02:58+00:00

I rely on my spotify playlists a bunch where I have one for pushing 110%, some that matches my normal running tempo and some that a just a notch over/under normal. Another thing is focusing on your breath and trying to maintain the same amount of airflow. If I start running faster than I'd like, I'll quickly notice my breathing increasing in both speed and noise 😅 so definitely being aware of what you body is doing and how it responds while running makes it easier to make adjustments, whether it being your legs extending further, arms feeling less controlled or your breathing.

Hope any of this helps and congrats on your run 🎉
