As I’m spending more and more time on blogs I sometimes find some really nice blog posts that I’d like to share with you all. Most of them are running related, some of them are not… You’ll see that this month’s edition is from recent posts as I’ve had some “downtime” from the blogosphere in …
So a while back I wrote a post about beach running in the dark. I stand with my pro’s and cons from then, but what I wanted to share is the difference between then and now. Back in November it was dark, cold and lonesome on the beach. Yesterday was a very different story. It …
Not even a week after writing down I keep track of my Training PB’s, I get to adjust one. My previous record in 2015 of 90 minutes in Zone 1 dates to only 2 weeks back, which made it my all time training PB as well. It was the same pace as the previous one, …
My race schedule is fairly empty most of the times. I run 2-3 big races a year and all my other races usually get decided very close to when they take place (and seldom are consider a “giving-it-all” thing). So in order to keep myself motivated I started taking note of my training PB’s. It’s …
Intro As the general rule states a shoe can only go for 800-1000km (500-620mi) I’m constantly looking for nice promotions of my regular shoes. On Facebook however I saw suddenly that Pearl Izumi provided some free shoes if you were willing to evaluate them after a couple of months. A local sports store was looking for people …
I really want to run more a week, but between work and family I don’t see it happening soon. My work lies about 3-3.5km (~2miles) away from my house, so I take the bike to reach it. Some time ago we were informed that showers are now available to encourage biking to work. I do …
Happy April! We’re three months in 2015, so it seemed time for a first evaluation of my goals for 2015. I already know it’s somewhat disappointing, but seeing I got nine months to catch up I’m not all that worried, especially because summer is coming, yaay 😀 2 ultra distances Nope, not even one ultra …
My second half marathon ever and first half marathon as a pacer. As written before, my brother wanted to run a 90min half marathon and asked me to pace him. Weather conditions weren’t a great help, actually far from it… The Half marathon consisted of 2 laps. With wind from the southwest this meant we …
So in preparation of my Half Marathon this Sunday I’m carb loading. Nothing as serious as with my marathons and ultra’s, but carb loading none the less. Usually I do this with some plain pasta during the day, but I found a recipe on the Alpro site that looked very interesting. In dutch it was …
Whew … What a crazy last month. Between being abroad, being busy at work, going away for a ski trip I got sick. Throat hurted too much to control my breathing. This all resulted in skipping more runs than I wanted to, but everything for the health right. Past week I got a decent week …
