Paris Marathon ‘19

Marathon running is gaining popularity. Every year more runners, and non runners, are signing up to run this majestic distance. The more people achieve this challenge, the more attainable it seems to become. And the more people believe that running a marathon can be done with little to non training… And I contribute to that believe, by running my last marathon seemingly untrained.

Coast to Coast, ultra run

The journey of 7 women from 7 countries completing an incredible coast to coast adventure. Crossing from Dubai to the Oman Coast in just four days, the runners completed an exhausting 180km – the equivalent of running four marathons in four days. Battling bustling cities, dangerous mountains and intense desert heat.

“The number of impressions and emotions exceed the four days we have had. More than your regular four days anyway.”

From zero to ultra within a year

Nine months I hadn’t been able to run. June 30 2017 I broke my ankle and tore my ligaments, which put me in a wheelchair and on crutches for about half a year.

March 2018 I was finally able to start running again. Normally I wouldn’t bother lacing up for just a few kilometers. Now I am happy with whatever I am allowed to do. Five times one minute of running it is.
