Exploring the world in running shoes
Are you also sick of using gels? I know I am. They're often too sweet, sticky, messy, often don't taste very good and they can irritate your stomach. I already stopped using gels, I used chews instead (the Powerbar shots and the Clif bloks to be precise). But that eliminated only part of the problem... Continue Reading →

Most of these issues are already answered by science, but many runners out there just don't have the time to research a topic or don't know where to look. So, I thought I'd answer a few of...

Therefore I'm dedicating a series of posts to where... Continue Reading →
Last year I already made a post about affordable running clothes, but I thought it would be nice to show you what's in stores in 2015. I still like to shop for running clothes at Primark and H&M, since they both offer affordable basic running clothes. One piece that I've been loving this year is... Continue Reading →
