Marathon Recovery! Marathon training – you can say I disregard the common practice. If you’ve read any of my posts, you will clearly see that I do not follow the norms. Running to me has been a pleasurable activity from the start and I failed to conform to the accepted standards. I have never followed any training plans, nor have I been successful in applying […]
What Is Missing In My Running! What is missing in my running? This is the question I have been asking myself for nearly 6 months now. It’s not that I am concerned about the speed or endurance. There is something else that is missing. I would say the drive is not there anymore. Not gone totally, just not as strong as I would expect it […]
Homemade Guacamole! The other day my wife wanted to make fajitas and asked me to get some guacamole at the supermarket. No problem. I went to pick up the product we usually buy and paused. I decided to actually check what was in it. Well, the first thing I noticed was on the front of the bottle. It stated that this was a guacamole like […]
Running Journal – Keeping Track of My Activity! I started keeping track of my running and supporting exercises earlier in the year. This was the effect of starting to read “The Running Revolution” by Nicholas Romanov. One of the first things the author mentions is starting a running journal, which I did.

The interview originally featured in the July edition of Magazyn Lokalny (www.magazynlokalny.co.uk) A few days ago you have taken part in a 50km race. How did […]

Each runner has an individual approach and it is very likely that some of these programs will appeal and suit you, whilst others will not work. I take a slightly different approach. I prefer not to go with any running programs. How to train? 10k and other distances can be achieved […]
Scott Jurek! When the name of Scott Jurek comes up in the running community, the following come to mind: Born To Run, Western States 100 and possibly the best ultra runner of our time. Jurek made his name in the ultra running community long before Christopher McDougall made him a household name in his bestselling book. Winning the Western States 100 seven years in a […]
Park Runs UK! Today for the very first time I had a chance to be a marshall at a Park Runs UK event in South Oxhey. It was a very rewarding experience for me as I have never actually watched a running event from the perspective of a spectator, not to mention from a perspective of a marshall. It is great to watch as others […]
