Let’s do some training talk. Why is it so important to rest? Shouldn’t you just run and run? Well no. Let me explain.

Yes! The beta version of the new The Running Dutchman is now online. From now on The Running Dutchman is all about you.

The trick to progress is to be consistent. But how can you be consistent when you have to travel for work?

To transport oxygen to your muscles, you need red blood cells. Or to be precise Hemoglobin and Ferritin.

Every run weakens the immune system. Being out in the cold and rain weakens the immune system. Is it wise to run anyway?

Keep my legs moving & keep them happy while giving them a break of the extra kilometers.

Every kilometer is hard work. Every meter is hard work. My legs feel heavy, I feel tired.

I am in doubt. Should I race tomorrow or do a training run? And in both cases; where do I go?

Call it whatever you want: challenges and badges motivate me to be active, even on days I don’t have time to be active.

I wanted to run fast today, it didn’t happen. I am getting slow. It’s time to do speed work again.
