Hey you, it’s been a while – again. I’ve been busy with the life in general, but also tried to do some workouts. The current year will hopefully bring more unforgettable memories and running events. My next ultra marathon will be the P-Weg ultra marathon in Plettenberg, Germany. The race…
Lüneburger Ultramarathon 2023 (100 km)
Hi,I wanted to write this post a lot earlier, but there have been many reasons, why the plan was postponed. On the 9th of June 2023 I drove with my family on a rental car to Lüneburg, Germany, in order to avoid any further stress with the travel. The weather…
Ultra run and how to energize yourself
Hi there, my greatest concern at the moment is the upcoming 100k ultra run in Lüneburg – I feel a bit worried in many ways. The main concern is related to the fact that I haven’t got any experience of this kind of an event before. How to prepare oneself…
Transalpine Run 2 & 100k ultra
Hey there,it’s been a while once again. I still want to continue maintaining this blog, even though my frequency of writing has become less and less random. It still does not mean that not anything is going on in my life. I have been actually been training more than for…
Apple Watch Ultra – my new workout companion (pt 2)
Hey, it is I – eventually. I thought I would be excited to get back to this topic so quickly as possible, but the past few weeks have been really busy when it comes to the work and the personal life. In any case the time seems right now, so…
Apple Watch Ultra – my new workout companion (pt 1)
Hi there,it’s time for a small tech update – as you probably are aware of, I’m a big Apple enthusiast since a longer time. That’s why it is not a great surprise that I decided to hit the order button and get the brand new Apple Watch Ultra. My experiences…
48. BMW Berlin Marathon
Hey there, the Berlin marathon, edition #2022 is gone and fine so. I’m happy I was able to participate, as some surprises came up during the journey. Obviously my training was not what I had hoped for – mainly due to the personal reasons. Let’s start with the day before…
Towards Berlin Marathon 2022
Hey, it’s me! It seems I have partly lost the inspiration to write about my running activities, but I want to keep this blog still. Maybe there will be better times ahead and more time for the writing. Anyway, the blog has now moved to a new and more performant…
ING Night Marathon Luxembourg 2022
I’m writing this while sitting on a train and returning from my weekend trip in Luxembourg. It was finally time for a short running adventure after almost 2,5 years… Sorry I haven’t been writing lately. The work and all other life stuff takes its toll and this nice writing hobby…
Berlin Marathon 2021 / DNS
Hello, It’s been a while since the last post. I haven’t had anything special to report, except for the fact that I was eagerly waiting for the Berlin Marathon that actually could take place this year after many months of the pandemic. My training this year has not been anything…
Progress or stuck in the mud?
Hey ho, how are you? I don’t think there are many readers left, if there ever were any, but with this pace of posts there hardly is anyone who regularly follows the blog. Anyhow I want to give a sign of life – especially that I now am suffering from…
Fall Update
Once again there has been a big gap between my updates. It does not mean that anything didn’t happen, but the general mood of life has been pretty low due to Covid-19 and the things resulting from it. I haven’t really been training properly during the part few months. Mostly…
Exceptional times require exceptional measures
Hi there, It’s funny and/or tragic to see, how our everyday lives take an entirely new direction over night and nothing appears like before. So much has been written about the current corona crisis that I hardly am able to bring any new views or present any interesting observations, ’cause…
Luxemburg night marathon 2020
Hey, It’s been a while – I really should get back to the writing again. There only are so many things in the life going on at the moment so it’s really difficult to find a suitable time for writing, but still writing has always been a natural way of…
Some brief rants about the future of the software development
Hi there, because there is not much to tell about my workouts at the moment, I’ll write a post about another subject that I mainly spend my days at work with, namely software engineering. My work career has consisted of many jobs where I have had the delight to work…
TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2019
Hi there, and sorry for the silence during the past weeks. Fortunately I have been doing better lately, so I hope the worst health problems are gone for now. A month ago I could not have imagined that I would be able to finish a marathon, but that’s what happened…
Greetings from the sick bay
Hi there, a couple of weeks ago I was confident that my training program and health were proceeding to a desirable direction. How wrong could I be! The previous five weeks have been a horrendous experience as I have been suffering from a severe bronchitis. I still do not feel…
3. Bremer Brückenlauf
Greetings, My journey as hobby runner took a further step on last Saturday, when the 3. Bremer Brückenlauf (the third bridge run in Bremen) took place. I had participated at the event last year as well and was full of expectations because the event is really well organized, follows a…
15. Vahrer Seen Lauf
Hi there, one more race accomplished – today it was once again the time for the race that nowadays seems to be the most important to me due to the vicinity and the fact I can run in the familiar outskirts, the Vahrer Seen Lauf. I want once again also…

Hello again! I have had a very busy week due to lots of work and gardening. Fortunately I had some days off work due to the eastern holidays. Sorry that the post about the latest marathon accomplishment was delayed due to all other activities! But let’s get back to the…
