I was never much for documentaries of any sort, yet I find that in the last few years I have been drawn more and more to them. I suppose I have grown a little tired of the regular television and films, as they have become more and more predictable. Documentaries not only offer a different sort of entertainment but they often teach us and broaden […]
Setting high goals is excellent, it gives purpose and drive. However, when trying to figure out the way to achieve those goals, it is easy to give up when results are hard to see. Step in micro tasking. What happens when you set a financial goal – a really far fetched sort, one that seems impossible to achieve, yet one that you would really like […]
When I took up running in my mid thirties, my mom summarised it as a start to a midlife crisis. I totally disagreed and disagree to this day. No way can running be associated with any crisis. Is it a lifestyle change? Yes. Does it have positive impacts on wellbeing? Yes. Once again to make things clear, in no way should running in your thirties […]
When will I start to eat healthy? It is so easy to slip and simply fail. So often I keep on thinking that I should do something about the foods I eat, yet it is so easy and tempting to reach for the ones which are not good for you. The problem is the habit of eating. It’s changing your programming in your head, to […]
During today’s run I remembered the wise words of Caballo Blanco (as quoted in Christopher McDougall’s ‘Born To Run’). Easy, Light, Smooth and Fast. How does this relate to running? Well, first comes EASY – you need to focus on making running easy. If it is not easy, you are most likely doing something wrong. Think about your pace – it’s very likely that you […]
Do you run at lunchtime? I do. Recently, quite often – 3 out of 5 days this week. Why do I run during my lunch break? I think the number one reason is that I am too lazy to get up in the morning. Get up and go for a run before work that is. Lunchtime runs are not my favourite, although I enjoy the […]
From time to time I set myself challenges. Sometimes it is to run a certain distance, others it is about exercising. This time, I decided to go meat free for a month of September. I have done a similar exercise a while back. It felt really good. This time I did not really pay that much attention to it. I simply went with the flow. […]
Saucony Kinvara 4 Shoe Review I’ve been meaning to sit down and write this review for over a year now. Yet, I held off and stretched the limits of the Saucony Kinvara 4 life. Most noteworthy, these were my first shoes which had a minimal heel to toe drop – a mere 4mm. Something not to be taken lightly since, as known to experienced runners, […]
Vlogging – Document Your Training! Never would I have thought I’d be saying this but it is official – I am now a vlogger. How did it come to this? As usual, a number of circumstances coming together. Over three months ago, on my 39th birthday, I decided to post a video on YouTube. The goal was setting out to do a backflip for my […]
Lazy Runner! The scene was set. A beautiful May morning and I was ready to go out and run against the world. That’s right, my third Wings For Life World Run was going to be great. Each year I made an improvement, and this year was going to be even better. A new course – this time Cambridge – was going to be flatter. This […]
