Running to Think

This summary will be short, for the reasons that will be clear in a minute. 21/04/2014 rest 22/04/2014 Went to Sart Tilman. Ran the usual loop around Bois de Saint Jean the first time with Francois, then I made it longer alone, which meant another loop. Total milage of 27 km and elevation gain of 550 meters.  Felt a bit of pain in the left...

14/04/2014 rest 15/04/2014 I decided to spend some time into the forest. When I am in Leuven I miss Sart Tilman, and the other way around. Long story short, 13 km in the forest. But at a moderate pace of 4':30" per km. 16/04/2014 rest 17/04/2014 14 km again in Leuven. Decided to add some spicy hills of 300 mt at about 12% elevation. I couldn't...

Not to mention that a lazy customer would treasure those words as coming from the Bible. I'm here to be the antichrist then.If these words are taken...

We all have hectic schedules. We decide to cook something easy, fast or even go for ready-to-eat food to warm up and good luck... Do you know what all of that is? Junk, of course. We deserve better than that. Making healthy choices takes time and effort, I know. But the benefits that we can get in terms of quality of food, energy and health...

This morning i decided to make an easy and healthy snack. You could definitely use this snack as a breakfast bar. These bars are the solution when you have no time in the morning or whenever you are craving right before lunch or dinner.  The low glycemic index in this carbohydrate-rich food will slowly raise the blood glucose and will be...

"Don't be afraid to fail". That's a quote that has been characterising the training period of my first ultra trail. After 5 months of training, 1 foot tendon stress fracture and 1 contraction of the rhomboid muscle, a bit more than 2000 km in 3 different countries and 2 pairs of shoes, on the 29th of March I had to put myself to the test and run...
