How you preparing yourself for a run or training?

I bet it’s easy. Pair or runners, t-shirt, shorts, buffy (ok, you can have always two sets or maybe set with long sleevs). For the race you would probably add belt for gels, calf compressions. Am I correct? Read more

10% accomplished with a Friend

We had very nice weekend. Friends visiting us, my 10th marathon. But start from the beginning…

Last week Cezary, friend from Balina, who we have met when I have run marathon there called me asking if he can stay with us when he will be running marathons on Friday and Saturday. Of course there was no problem with that. He was comming to us on Friday evening after running marathon and on Saturday after both of us run another marathon we should pick up his Wife – Daria, with kids. That sounds like a plan so we had to put that into action… Read more

Where is my fitness?

Went somewhere? Don’t know, but looks like it unfortunately. Not long ago I haven’t got a problem to run daily 30 km for 4 days and additional two half-marathons over the weekend.

That will be very short post…

What a week… Motherboard in our main PC at home just burned. Nice, now need to wait couple of months to replace it. And the beginning of the Dublin Series hasn’t went well for me. I have mixed days, it was on Saturday and I have somehow ‘encoded’ in my mind that it will be on Sunday, so I missed it. Last thing, but that is a regular recently, I’m very tired. Had to take day of today. Hopefully that will allow me to gather more strength towards Ballina Marathon. Read more
