ERYRI 25K: I have to climb 845 meters within the first 8,4 kilometers. Climb non-stop. I’ve never done that.

Three days until the ERYRI 25 kilometers at Ultra Trail Snowdonia. So time to run up Mount Snowdon for the first time.

Friday is the raffle for Zegama Aizkorri, my dream race. 500 people can run, 14.000 have subscribed, I am one of them.

There is something magical about Maastricht. Maybe it is the small streets, the old buildings or the 'vlaai'?

Coming Thursday Sara and I will be running in Maastricht. Or better, just outside of Maastricht.

Very early start of the day. Why? Because at 0.00 o’clock the registration for the Dolomiti Extreme Trail 2023 opens.

Another day of rest. It’s getting harder and harder each day. I’m counting down the days until I can run again.

Being in the car for almost half a day will give me the time to reflect on the Three Mealls Trail race of yesterday.

I finished it. Don't ask me how. The Three Mealls Trail race is the most brutal race I’ve ever done.

Two days to the Three Mealls Trail race. We’re here, in Kinlochleven, for the Big Race and the mountains look … scary.
