And I’m feeling good

I have quite a number if books about running. From runners biographies to books about running technique. Most of those have some kind of the running programs – 80/20, Daniel’s method. Tried most of them. Tried to adjust them to my (then) current pace. I was always failing on creating program for myself. As a ‘mathematics brain’ I was always trying to follow program to the letter. So, this was my failure when I was getting something like – 45 minutes of running. It can’t be more vague. I can work with ‘easy’ or ‘very easy’ but not ‘some running’. I know that sounds like moaning but that is me… Read more

Quick interview

Never thought that I will be able to run a marathon… and now little bit ove two years after I started to exercising in gym and not even two since I have run my first 10 km without taking a break to rest I have 33 marathons or longer runs under my belt. First marathon run over June bank holiday 2014 in Cork. Now adventure continues. Started with 100 kg on me. Thanks to gym and running went down to below 70 (now little bounce back cause of addiction to eating), got fitter. My life has changed. I’m happier, less irritated… but have just little bit tired legs 😉 Taken that road and I’m willing to go all the way… 50 K – done, 50 K in mountains – done, 50 miles – just week away, 100 K – June, 12 hours – July, 100 miles – August…

My efforts weren’t ignored (ohhh yes, whenever I can I mentioning my running). Many people knows me here in Ireland, many reading my blog. People even like my newsletter (apparently) cause noone has unsigned their email address. I really appreciate your support. It is in high demand. You can read my blog, say hi when see me running but now… you could hear me talking about running in radio. Radio Zet, station in Poland has segment on Sunday morning about running. And I will be in that program (not live but still). For quick 5 minutes I was talking about my running and what is driving me when doing that. Beata Sadowska, journalist, who running herself asked me if I would like to share my story with listeners. I said yes and now you could hear me talking about me 😉 in radio. Don’t know exact date for that material to be released but… during one of Sunday’s segment. Can’t wait…

Hopefully Mrs Sadowska won’t be mad at me for using picture from her website 😉

NB testing

Because I like quite much New Balance shoes I thought that I can ask NB producer to maybe sent me time to time some shoes to test.

It’s not that I just want to get free shoes just had an idea. I’m running about 160-180 km on the streets or gym. Running just in NB shoes, even walks in other pair of NB’s. So just walking advert 😉 Anyway, thought that I can ask them about that but haven’t got any idea where to send email to UK department. But when went on the US version of the website I have found ‘Sports Reasearch Lab’, so basically you can test shoes for them. Only issue is that program is working just in US. So have lied that I’m from Wyoming, but have put in the rest of address accordinally to place where I live. Account was set, administrator probably haven’t got anything against me 😉 I have followed by email saying that I would like to participate in testing program but I’m from Ireland. Hope that will work. Waiting now for reply.
