Hi folks! Would you like to go for a run during some of the KotlinConf days? Please, comment here 🧵, and we can organize it together.

[Morten Nygaard Åsnes]

I would like that, but because of some health issues I'm very slow at the moment.
I was also planning to hit up one of the parkruns in Copenhagen on the saturday, I did Amager Fælled last year, so maybe Amager Strand

[eenriquelopez]

Depending on how many people we are we can have several groups, but I would not say this is about going at any competitive speed. Mostly a relaxed run to chat with other folks attending the KotlinConf.

[John O'Reilly]

btw there's a parkrun beside the venue on Saturday morning

[eenriquelopez]

I am leaving on Saturday before that, but good to know!

[eenriquelopez]

Yesterday the CPH marathon took place. What a bad timing, we should reach out to the CPH marathon organisers, and see if they can adjust next year 😄

[Zac Sweers]

I’m game to join at least one day. There Tuesday evening to Saturday

[Matt Rea]

I'm up for a run. There Wednesday - Friday

[Matti MK]

I'd be up for it too! I'll be arriving on Wednesday morning for the workshops and leaving on Friday after the last talk.

[Eugen Martynov]

I'm in for running, taking my gear! Slow pacer - 550 615 per km. Can run faster but will not be able to keep conversation :)

[eenriquelopez]

In the meantime, I have created this group!

[Eugen Martynov]

Haha, I don't own Garmin

[eenriquelopez]

The conference starts at 9:00, and finishes at 18:00

I am thinking of having a run at 7:30, and another one at 18:00. I will be running both, and folks can join when it suits them more.

[eenriquelopez]

The lunch break is another option, but probably too tight. How do you feel about it?

[Elena van Engelen]

i would also want to go for a run, however i might go earlier as 7:30 is a bit late for me. I think on the morning of 22nd, I thought there is a park close to the hotel

[eenriquelopez]

I am fine with earlier too. 7:00? That should give us up to one hour of running, with time for a shower.

[Zac Sweers]

realizing this also depends on where people are staying, and that I should proooobably book a hotel blob sweat smile

[eenriquelopez]

You didn’t yet @Zac Sweers? It is about time 🙂

Yeah, we should find something central, or close to the venue. Being also fair, it is super easy to take a bike from the center of Copenhagen to the venue. IIRC last year I was commuting with a rented bike in about 25 minutes.

[Zac Sweers]

JIT travel planning

[Elena van Engelen]

I am staying at AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen, and was planning to start running around 6 AM. Let’s keep in toch I signed up for that Connect app. I might sleep longer and then can go at 7. But usually I run at 6 or 6:30

[Eugen Martynov]

Could the venue have shower facilities? The most inconvenient variant - ask a buddy in Bella to share a room shower

[Eugen Martynov]

@Daria Voronina [JB] (sorry for tagging you directly), does the conference location have a shower facility we can use? (A context: a group of us want to have a social run.)

[Daria Voronina [JB]]

@Eugen Martynov Sorry for the delayed reply! I’ve just confirmed that, unfortunately, the venue doesn’t have shower facilities.

And no worries at all about the tag, feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!

[Eugen Martynov]

Thank you!

[eenriquelopez]

So, folks. I was thinking we could have morning session at 6:30, and then an evening session at 18:00. What do you think? Maybe the evening session should be a bit later, to allow folks to go and change clothes?

[Matti MK]

At least morning works for me. I'm not fast by any means, maybe 6min pace but would like to join anyways

[eenriquelopez]

That should be perfectly fine!

[Elena van Engelen]

I am not that fast either 🏃‍♀️ , morning 6:30 is a good time for me

[eenriquelopez]

Ok, so let’s start with a morning group (@Matti MK, @Elena van Engelen and I) and an evening group (I will be there too). @Eugen Martynov, @Zac Sweers, @Matt Rea, @John O'Reilly, any preference?

[John O'Reilly]

I'll probably be more likely to join evening group....6:30am in Copenhagen will be 5:30am in Ireland so might be challenging for me to get up for that 😃

[eenriquelopez]

But it is also 7:30 in Turkey!

[John O'Reilly]

Also, as mentioned, will be doing Parkrun on Saturday morning if any folks are still around

[Eugen Martynov]

Where is Parkrun? I would like to join. And 630 730 run - I probably have enough time to come back to hotel and refresh. So I will try the morning one.

[John O'Reilly]

[John O'Reilly]

you can register online and get barcode you can scan then at the event

[Eugen Martynov]

Thanks!

[Eugen Martynov]

I'm already here - anyone tomorrow for run? 🙂

[eenriquelopez]

I can start tomorrow evening, arriving at 7:00.

[Eugen Martynov]

So it is around 2000 2100 (I was getting 1.5 hours to my hotel today (was not in hurry))

[Eugen Martynov]

Not so late runner anymore, but thinking. I also found couple of yoga studios around, and quite big park is nearby (just to make me busy).

[Elena van Engelen]

Tomorrow I am at speakers dinner but will join Thursday morning run

[eenriquelopez]

Who would join tomorrow morning? @Matti MK and @Elena van Engelen?

[eenriquelopez]

Are you both staying near the venue? There are a few trails South of Copenhaguen to run

[Matti MK]

I'll join tomorrow morning 👍 and staying close to the venue

[Elena van Engelen]

I am also close to the venue, and will join in the morning

[eenriquelopez]

There is this 8K run around it, if it works for you

https://strava.app.link/LFD0EfI0xTb

[Matt Rea]

I can join as well, that route looks good 👍 I'm staying at Bella Sky

[Elena van Engelen]
