2019 Europe Full Marathon Road to 100FM Training

29 September 2019, Budapest Marathon 2019 42.195km

Budapest FM is part of the long run trainings before the next FM attempt of 3.30. I was in awe the minute i got to our airbnb apartment. Old, full of character and filled with yesteryear’s abundance and opulence, i was mesmerised by the structure, and architecture of the building. As you enter the building, […]

20 September 2019, 10km Run for Joyce, Oosterwolde

This was a small community event where a portion of the proceeds are channeled for a cause in China. Ran the 10km as maintenance training, and clocked in 46.38. Still found it challenging to beat the PB in July. Certainly recommended for kids (and adults alike 🙂 Activities were family friendly, balloons, face make up, […]

2019 Full Marathon holland

20 October 2019, TCS Amsterdam Marathon, 42.195km

Quite frankly, i have been partying secretly since then. Partying in this sense meant slow down, less rigid, less […]

8 September 2019, Tallinna Marathon 42.195km

This was not my first choice for a PB nor to attempt for Boston qualification. But it was the only one available after Rotterdam. So i trained for it. Getting there… Dusseldorf (Weeze) airport panic!!! The Tallinna Marathon race begun even before we arrived. Part of the race weekend preparation was to sleep well, arrive early […]
