The most cushioned shoe in the collection is the Hoka Elevon, which is a bit similar to the Hoka One One Vanquish. The Elevon... Continue Reading →
Edinburgh Half Marathon
The original plan was to run the full marathon at Edinburgh, but things change. The cardiologist advised me to no longer run any marathons. So, I changed my entry to the half marathon. Initially the race organisation didn't want to change my entry, but after explaining the situation they did. I arrived in Edinburgh on... Continue Reading →

I knew I would regret... Continue Reading →
Race Review – Amsterdam Marathon 8k 2018
Eight kilometers is a bit of a strange distance. There aren’t that many races that are 8k, although I’ve done a few. The Damloop by Night is 8k nowadays and during the Amsterdam Marathon event there is also an 8k distance. Probably because they couldn’t fit a 10k into the schedule. The 8k has to...
