And it also means lots of time spend with friends, all the food and drink (mulled wine, yum yum!) and being literally glued to my Facebook and Instagram for 25 days and being constantly in awe at all the people who are equally crazy as I am and who “signed up” for our Advent Running challenge! What am I […]
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 […]
Are you in Praha, Czech Republic? Come run with us to celebrate women’s strength and freedom on International Women’s Day on March 8th! Last year over 80 countries and running crews all over the world took part… this year Praha is joining too! Sisters, mothers, brothers, friends and partners, everyone is invited to join! Let’s run and connect together to […]
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.” […]
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 […]
We were prepared that it will hurt. We were prepared that our legs will be heavy and will not want to move. BUT It wasn’t that bad! Actually, it was great! Yes, legs were heavy from the beginning, yes we probably smiled a bit less than during the Prague half marathon, but we were definitely not dying or crying or […]
On Friday before “THE” crazy challenge weekend it was raining and the weather forecast said rain all weekend! So the first thing that crossed all of our minds, when I picked up Ela and Jens at the train station, was: “whose bloody idea was this”? Well, my friends… it was “my” idea… who else’s :) Last year I signed up […]
