Never give up. Always push through all the misery and pain. Don’t give in. Fight. Endure. The pain is only in your head. When your mind is strong, you can move (and run) mountains. Sounds familiar? I think the above pretty much sums up my life. If there is a challenge, I’m all in. And by all I mean ALL, […]
Am I REAL runner? I am not too fast, I certainly don’t look like a runner, I don’t take running as seriously as others. Should I really call myself a runner? I bet I am not the only one whose mind this has crossed at some point! The “world out there” is full of motivational videos and quotes telling […]
In the last couple of months running has begun much harder. Suddenly it became much harder to run up a hill or up a staircase. I couldn’t quite figure out what has happened to me. Yup, I have been running much less (only about 20-30k a week instead of 50-60k) but I have been running regularly. All my […]

When you are about to run a marathon it is important to have enough rest beforehand and that you eat the right food. Every runner knows this. Before the Disney Marathon I ran 3 races in 3 days, slept less than 13 hours during 3 nights, spend my whole days riding rollercoasters and stuffing my face with popcorn, cookies and […]
Keeping motivated to go out for a run when it’s dark and cold outside, your mind is busy thinking about all the presents you need to get, all the last deadlines at work you need to finish and when the smell of Christmas cookies and mulled is everywhere, is bloody hard. But not this year! We will keep on running […]
As soon as I crossed the finish line I send a text message to all the people I love saying: “I survived”. Straight away my mom send me a message back saying: “I always thought that finishing a marathon is an inhuman performance. It is strange that my always chubby and extremely food loving daughter can do it so easily.” […]
If you are not a runner, then beware that after reading this post, you may just catch yourself fancying to start running so you could experience THIS! If you are a runner and you tend to get jealous easily, then I strongly advise you NOT to continue reading this post! They say that all things you do for the “first […]
Do you also know the feeling when you are soooo busy that you just simply can’t keep on top of your life? Well, this is how I’ve been feeling for the last couple of months. And that’s also why I haven’t written for a while. I know that you probably thought that I have either: a) got married, divorced and […]
The plan for my weekend couple of weeks ago was: 6 am train from Prague to Vienna on Saturday, meet my friend Jens, enjoy the day in Vienna, go for dinner, get a good night sleep, then THE RACE, sauna and spa, eat loads of Sachertorte and train back to Prague on Sunday evening. And actually, this is what we […]
