Exploring the world in running shoes
(Dutch version below) Last week I participated in the 5K IAK City Run in Eindhoven. Over 5200 people participated in this run, but unfortunately the organization decided that it wouldn't be a problem to let all these people start at the same time. The start was already hectic because all these people we trying to... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below) Last week I went to see a doctor for a sport check up and since I am a heart patient I decided to do an extensive check up rather than a basic one. My cardiologist has told me years ago that I am allowed to exercise, but ever since I started running I... Continue Reading →
Running can be fun, but it becomes even more fun when you have great running clothes. However, the price tag on these running clothes is often a lot less fun. That's why I've teamed up with Esther from thesignificanceofyou.wordpress.com to show you that nice running clothes can be affordable if you know where to shop. A new season... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below) Yesterday was the Damloop by night race; a 4 mile race in the dark with a lot of lights and entertainment. Since I'm not a fast runner I was part of the last group which started at 20.50 when the sun had completely set. Almost all of the runners were wearing lights, glow... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below)Every time I go for a run I start off positively. I want to go run and I start off pretty good, but when I'm halfway I start to have doubts about why I'm doing this. And by the end of my run I'm just very frustrated, because you can't really call it... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below) I love to travel and discovering new places. But this means that I can be away from home for quite some time. This would also mean no running for quite some time. So when I went to Rome earlier this summer for 10 days this seemed too long to go without running, since... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below) I've been running for four months now, but it is still hard for me to get any faster. My average stays around 8:00 min/KM on a good day. That's why I decided to make other running goals for myself instead of focusing on time. It's nice to run a good time, but if... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below) I have to say that I haven't tried that many running shoes in my life, so I'm definitely not an expert. But I did do some research on the internet before buying my running shoes. Since I have a very low arch (or rather a non existent one), I need a lot of... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below) On the 29th of June I ran my first 'race'. It was a 3.2 km run through the center of Utrecht and was more meant to be fun that a real race. I had set myself two goals for the race: Not to finish last and preferably with a time under 8 min... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below) About a week and a half ago I had a really good run and ran a time of which I was pretty proud, but since then my runs have only gone worse. The three weeks leading up to my good run I was steadily progressing and I was happy about that. But now... Continue Reading →
