Exploring the world in running shoes
Due to the pandemic my last race was a 5k in February of 2020. Since then basically all races have been cancelled. Now that the everything is slowly starting back up again I've been planning races again, but obviously there are no guarantees of them going ahead. When Iceland was one of the first countries...

I’ve tried the Wave Rider 23 and the GTX version before, but Mizuno has given their running shoe line-up a pretty big overhaul. So I’m curious to see how the 24th version of this shoe turned out. Mizuno Wave Rider 24 The Wave Rider is the iconic neutral daily trainer by Mizuno. This version has... Continue Reading →
A few months ago I decided I wanted to run the New York City Marathon in November 2018. The point is, I don't know how long I'll be able to continue running, my heart condition will deteriorate at some point, I just don't know when. That might happen in a year or in 20 years.... Continue Reading →
Adidas is trying to be more conscious about the environment and therefore it has teamed up with Parley, to recycle some of the plastic that would have normally ended up in the plastic soup in the ocean.

I already did an urban trail race last year in Eindhoven, but I didn't really get to enjoy that race since it was during a snow storm and an amber weather warning.

In the beginning, main reason for switching headphones was that I was looking for a comfortable pair that actually stayed in my ears. Later on that weren't the only criteria anymore, it also had to be easy to connect them... Continue Reading →
This race didn't go as planned. It just wasn't my day that day. I had planned to run the 10k. I had a 10k bib and when I started I was still planning to run two loops, but in the end I decided to finish after one loop and to only run the 5k. Main... Continue Reading →
I like running races, not only because you can try to run a PB or just see where you stand while trying to reach a certain goal, it also gives you the opportunity to go places you normally wouldn't go to or aren't allowed to go. When I saw there would be a race organised... Continue Reading →
Last week my 10 mile race went very well, but I just kept thinking “What if it had been a half? I probably could have smashed my PB”. I do have a half coming up in March, but that’s 3 weeks before the Paris Marathon so it wouldn’t be a good idea to go all... Continue Reading →
2017 was a good year with regards to running: I did 12 races, including my 3rd half marathon and my first marathon! And I ran 4 PBs: On the 4.2km, 5km, 8km and on the marathon (Yes, since that's my first and only marathon so far I'm counting Berlin as a PB). And now I've... Continue Reading →
