A hot hot day. Good organisation. Three water posts @ km 8, 14 and 18. More than enough, and properly timed in this sweltering heat. Route was clearly marked with the white arrow on the ground, and red ribbon along the path. Neat. Route was not technical. Pretty relax to run on. But in the […]

23 June 2019, 5km 5HoekLoop Deventer
I want to test for speed. Same race, same route, but a big variation in weather condition (graph below), improved time of 19 seconds. The little one, 11 year old, Iris Cotteleer sprinted at the last 50m and overtook me with 3 seconds. What a splendid work! And the Champion was 7 seconds ahead of […]
This race was more about the journey to the race than the actual race itself. The actual race start is at Pak Chong, which is deep towards the national reserves park, but there is not a public transport connection into the area. We were blessed to meet with some helpful Thais who speak English and […]

5 years ago, i started running leisurely. 3 months ago, i started training structurally. These were my 10 km records: 2013 (first); 1.01 hour 2017 (PB before structured training); 49.31 min 2018 (PB after 3 months of structured training); 46.55 * min 2019 (45@40) ? *46.49 on watch. Bruto and Net time difference not adjusted […]
I managed to run a 5.06 min pace in a certified course, and this would technically mean a PB on a HM. This course is 70% asphalt and 30% trail route and a 2-loop run. A week after a HM in Bovensmilde where temperature was at around 27 degree, the cooler temperature of 23 degree […]
Having achieved my PB of 47.52 at Utrecht 3 weeks ago, i was itching to try again for another PB. I had a sub 46.59 as a target. I managed a PB of 47.45, but not meeting target of sub 46.59. There could be multiple reasons which i cannot be sure of. Was it too […]
4 days after hiking the Semois and Oster in Belgium (a combined 48.1km trail running, with elevation gain of ~1584m, we thought, hey, an anaerobic punch this week would be nice.) Hmm Yeah… and here we are. The Parelloop Vasse of 5.3km (yes, an interesting distance). It was a 1-looper, circa 70% tight sands, 30% […]
Pretty motivated scoring my first PB on a 5km road race, 22.52 min. The race course was a 2-looper with numerous corners to manoeuvre. It was organised in the village of Bergentheim in the municipality of Hardenberg, with a small population of 3,500. Great atmosphere! The streets were crowded with spectators, music with home built […]
The Race I ran my first 5km race in Deventer, Netherlands yesterday. I never had a PB record, so i guess any number would be “A” PB, so… – mission accomplished even before i start, technically speaking? NOo. There was a range of time expectations that i have set for myself, and this is how […]
