Getting ready to run!

Zevenheuvelenloop

Lately I have been practicing my running very actively. I have two running competitions coming up where I subscribed for: the harbourrun (actually no running competition but an obstacle run) and the 'Zevenheuvenlenloop' (Seven-hills-run) where I will run 15k with a team from the company I work for. As I am not really a long distance runner, especially this 15k run is going to be a challenge for me!

My fastest run

This morning I went for a run and this happened to be the fastest run I have aver ran with my app Runkeeper! I ran more than 12k in 57 minutes! I surprised myself with this time!

I will keep on preparing myself for the competitions by going running next to lifting weights 3 times a week. I love to run in the mornings. If I want to do morning run during the week, this means I am outside at about 5.30 AM. Yes, it is early, but it feels like I own the city. At his time, Rotterdam, one of the largest cities in NL is so quite! Amazing! I normaly run about 5-8k in this early mornings.

On Saturdays I love to do a bit longer challenge, about 10-12k to build up the distance. I aim to do a 15k track next week Satutrday! Excited to see what it feels like!
