Running Progress August 2019

Dennis

As you guys know, I am documenting my jogging progress since I began to run. A month ago I was documenting how I managed to do a non-stop 4 km run. The previous year I managed it to do 5 km but I never could run further than that. But guess what happened today? I ran 6.2 km without a single break. It was a non-stop run and I am super excited about it. It’s a huge milestone because it means now I could basically participate in a 5k run as I broke through 5 km several times and now … Continue reading Running Progress August 2019

Running Progress

Dennis

I took the snapshot when I was done with my jogging tour. I have a nice belt where I can carry a 0.5 liter bottle of water with me. It’s always my reward when I walk back home, or when I need a sip during the run. Today I ran 4 km without a single break and I think this is pretty good considering that I ran three days in a row. Today my lungs and my heart felt like I could have continued to run forever but my muscles didn’t want it anymore at 4 km and I listen … Continue reading Running Progress

Healthier Habits

I like spreadsheets and graphs, because they’re useful to interpret data and because it’s generally fun to create them. I worked a lot with spreadsheets and graphs in my life, but also privately it makes sense in some cases, for example if you want to document what type of effect regular running has on your weight, or if you want to document what goes in and out of your piggy bank. I like the fact that spreadsheets and graphs can help me to achieve long-term goals. There is something about looking at graphs, because they make you realize your actions … Continue reading Healthier Habits

New Running Shoes

Dennis

I purchases the shoes above online. To be honest, I do already have a decent running outfit but I still ran with sneakers. I always liked to do fitness with sneakers and I would probably continue to do so, but the trail I am running is shingly. That’s really the only issue, my sneakers had a flat sole and one day I got hurt because one tiny but sharp pebble went right through my sneakers. The result was that I needed to take a week-long break from running because I had pain in my heel. So, I got these nice … Continue reading New Running Shoes

I’m Proud Because I Am Achieving Things I Thought I Couldn’t Achieve Anymore

Dennis

The photo above is not very special, because it’s just a random snapshot of our Trave Channel. I like to add photos to my posts, but this post here is not so much about the photo but about something else. Today I just noticed that I am proud, actually pretty proud about myself. Because I was swimming again, even if I went jogging yesterday. But I felt great after two hours swimming and I sat at home thinking, or daydreaming. Do you know these moments when you ask yourself what goes well at the moment, and what goes not so … Continue reading I’m Proud Because I Am Achieving Things I Thought I Couldn’t Achieve Anymore
