  • Vltava Run race recap

    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.

  • Concentrate on what’s important
    Over the last years we get more and more data from our running watches. But, do we really need all that data? Do we know what data is important? Or do we tend to look at all of it, over analyzing and not concentrating on what’s really important when it comes to running?

  • Benefits of strength training with weights for runners with Marie
    Marie is not only a runner. She is also a physical therapist and a strength trainer for runners.
    While a lot of us believe, that strength training should be done with our own body weight, Marie knows better. There are a lot of benefits if the strength training is done with weights.
    In our talk we also touch her running background and plans.
