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…
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…
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…
13. Cuxhavener Stadtsparkassen Marathon
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…
Heading towards the next marathon
Hi there, The past two – three weeks have been great when it comes to the training. I have finally been able to maintain a bit of a continuity in my training – interval trainings, tempo runs and long runs regularly. Now I just need to maintain this good tendency…
Towards a new running year
Hey, it’s me again after a short break. Lately haven’t had that much to write or to comment so I’ve been mainly concentrating on the work or other hobbies than running. I have experienced the same phenomenon previously after the year’s running events have been accomplished and the motivation to…
Race report: Oldenburg marathon 21.10.2018
The alarm clock was triggered at 04:15, because the tram and train connections were highly unsuitable for an early Sunday. On days like that one surely feels a bit demotivated because there is no car available. After having a quick breakfast, I took a tram to the train station and…
Oldenburg Marathon
Hi there, The following race is scheduled: the 26th marathon for me will be next week in Oldenburg, Germany (https://oldenburg-marathon.de). The benefit of this event compared to many others is that I hardly know the town since I’ve only been there once before. The pain during the marathon run is…
19. Sparkassen-Küstenmarathon in Otterndorf
Hi there, After the marathon there is a new marathon coming up. That’s exactly my thought three days after the latest accomplishment. The next marathon will probably be Oldenburg marathon in about four weeks, so there’s hardly any time for recovery, but let’s try anyway. This post, however, will provide…
Status at the beginning of a new year of training
Hi there, like numerous bloggers and writers around the worlds, I also want to have a small glance at the past and what kind of plans I have for this year. The past year was a lousy one regarding the training due to the personal worries and illness, and obviously…
Marathon without training aka Hannover Marathon 2017
Hi there, here’s one tired man writing this post. I did it after all – Off I went and participated at the Hannover marathon. I did that mostly for my friends who I hardly meet nowadays. I was aware that my workouts have been lousy during the past few months, but thanks…
Allgäu Panorama Marathon
This post is continuation to the series about top running events where I have been as participant. Allgäu Panorama Marathon is a wonderful running event in the middle of the Alps, in Allgäu, Germany. The organisation relies on two heroes, Axel Reusch and Christian Feger. Naturally there are plenty of volunteers helping…
swb Marathon in Bremen
Since I’m living in Bremen since 2011, the swb Marathon in Bremen has been an obvious choice several times, because the travelling effort to get to the race is small, and you also get to your own shower and bed pretty soon after the race. During the past few years I…
Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel Marathon 2016
Yesterday was once again the time for the marathon in Braunschweig. It was my third time as participant there, as I really like the atmosphere of the event. It is adequately small so that you can run your race without struggling with the queues or having to worry about crashing…
Raate Marathon 2016
Hello, it’s been a while since the latest post due to the summer holiday, tiredness, and the fact that there simply was a lot to do. In this post I tell briefly about my latest marathon experience in Finland, the Raate marathon that is run on an area which was…
Haspa Marathon Hamburg
Haspa Hamburg Marathon is one of my favourite running events due to its flat route, great atmosphere and successful organisation. For me Hamburg is a convenient place to start, as it only takes roughly a bit over an hour to travel from Bremen to Hamburg by train. I prefer travelling with the…
Kyrönjoki-maraton
Hi there, still feeling not 100% healthy so no training before everything is fine. I don’t want to take any chances now after that many setbacks lately. The third running event I want to present in my blog is Kyrönjoki-maraton in the former municipality of Ylistaro, Finland, now a part…
Raatteen maraton
This post is a continuation to my newly born series about races, where I either have been involved as participant or where I really would like to take part. In the first part I told about the local running event here in Bremen, the Vahrer-Seen-Lauf. In the second part of…
