What Happened in Warsaw
Tweet Our long weekend started like any other running weekend away, only this time we had Vincent and Wendy with us. We headed out early for the airport, and it was pretty much smooth sailing all the way to Warsaw. Once we arrived we caught the bus to Central Station and, because it was still…

Recap: Cologne Marathon 2015
Tweet So I think it’s fairly safe to say that training for Marathon Number Three was not optimal.

My…

Liverpool – Rock n Roll Marathon Day! (Part II)
Tweet On Sunday we woke up early to hit the breakfast bar on time. It wasn’t totally ideal but we did our best with carbs (cereal, toast, danish) and sweet things like honey and jam. We also had our carb-loader drink and prepared another to take with us. Since we were VIP we weren’t too…

However all opinions regarding my experience are entirely my own.…
The Marathon Recap – Paris, the Big Day (Part II)

The Marathon Recap – Paris Edition! Part 1
