Exploring the world in running shoes
I don't mind a bit of rain or a bit of snow during my run, although I'm not a fan of cold weather since it gets harder for me to breathe and I get cold easily, but running during an amber weather warning.... that wasn't easy... The urban trail series is a series of 10... Continue Reading →
Since I'm a slow runner (or rather, I'm slow because I have to walk half the time), I need to pick my races a bit more carefully. There are two things I check before I enter a race: First, check the time limit. Second, check the results of the previous year to see if any of... Continue Reading →
I looked at my blog the other day and realised I still hadn't reviewed these shoes, even though I've had them for quite a while, so here it goes. I owned a pair of Skechers Gorun Ultra before these and liked them, although I didn't like the durability of them. So I hoped Skechers had fixed... Continue Reading →
After my last half ended in a DNF and being so busy that I basically only trained the last 3 weeks for this race, I wasn't sure how this race would go. But I just decided to go and see how far I would get. I knew I wasn't going to run a PR with just 3... Continue Reading →
Last year I participated in the Mini Marathon Rotterdam, which is 4.2 km. This year I decided to go for the 1/4 marathon, so 10.55 km. The 1/4 marathon starts at the same time as the full marathon, only at a different location and uses the last part of the marathon course. There were only... Continue Reading →
After last years 5 k in Eindhoven I had decided not to participate again in this race, since I did not like the way it was organized. But this year this marathon event added an extra race distance, the 10 k. Like the 5 k, there are no starting waves for this distance (I still... Continue Reading →
(Dutch version below) One thing that I did not think about when I started running, was that since I am a heart patient I burn energy differently while running. Since my heart rate is so high while running, my body does not have the time to get energy out of storage. This means that my... Continue Reading →
(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 →
(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 →
