Running to Think

Motivation leads you nowhere without action. That's what they say. I have been keeping myself motivated so far. To overcome the struggle of injuries, hills, miles and sweat. But motivation is not enough to accomplish things. Action is necessary. Motivation only triggers action. And I am acting. This sunday I will put myself to the test. To prove...

Hi folks, I hope you enjoyed the holidays with your dear ones, moments to cherish fully. I wish you the best for the years that come. May this year be filled with love, family, health and ofcourse physical activity! I spent my holiday abroad. Francesco and I planned to go to his hometown Molfetta, in Southern Italy. I got in contact with his culture,...

Hi friends, today I want you to introduce a fantastic sport to you. It's called CrossFit. Crossfit has been founded by Greg Glassman and Lauren Jenai back in 2000. It is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists and hundreds of...

Hi my measuring freaks, if there is anyone who does not like to measure her or his own progress, please raise your hand.

October means fall, trees losing their leaves, the sky getting greyish (a bit more here in Belgium) and people getting more lazy. Not us. October for us has just one meaning: running more and getting ready for the winter season, in one word, actually two, half-marathon of Bruxelles. Due to the race-of-the-year, scheduled on October 25th, I...

Even more stupid when I realised that being a gipsy is indeed my attitude, at least for the time being. Thank God, sad things never come alone. The grateful smile...

I want to believe that everything is fixed with my ankles and I can start running 100% of my schedule, which consists of a gradual increase of milage from 80 to 130 km per week. It's time to take a risk and get prepared for my first ultra marathon in March. I want to believe that a dream can indeed become true and that I can get to the finish line,...

I was a child when my father was training for his first marathon. I have the vivid image of him running for a distance I could not begin to comprehend at the time, when everything looked much bigger than it really was. Probably my father too. The joy of finishing a marathon was the only thing that I couldn’t understand and I kept underestimating...

As a boy who was born in the 80s, grew up in the 90s and became conscious of the world in the early 2000, I have already been influenced by the sounds and the trends of three decades. Even though my taste for music is within an indefinite range that goes from pop to classical music, and classic rock, with no embarrassment, when it comes to workout...
