The Happy Runner

A sub 4 hour marathon is a big deal for a lot of runners. in this episode I'm not going to talk how to train for it, rather I will dive into advice, that will help you on race day.

There are things you can control while running a marathon and you should control as much as possible. It will help you take some pressure off and make it easier to achieve your goal, a sub 4 hour marathon.

Vltava Run is a 377 kilometer running race between Zadov and Prague. It's probably the most beautiful race I ever ran but on the other hand also the hardest one.

Not only will I give you my thoughts on the 3 of the 36 sections I ran, but you will get some advice if you intend to run the race in future.

I just ran the first 100 kilometers in the New Balance SC Elite v4. One of the most anticipated carbon plated running shoes of early 2024.

Will try to give you my honest opinion on what I think about the shoe and how it felt running in it.

I also wrote and published a review. It's available on the rundandsmile.net webpage.

Shin splints are one of the most common injuries for runners. In this episode we talk with Marie what they are, why we get them, how to avoid them and what to do, if we get them.

As for all injuries, we should seek advice from an expert and as Marie is one, you can reach out to her, if you need.
