Al enige jaren speelt hardlopen een belangrijke rol in mijn leven. In het lopen zoek ik naar uitdagingen en naar de rust in mijn drukke leven met studie en werk. Het lopen is op sommige momenten zelfs een vorm van meditatie waarbij je dichtbij jezelf komt.

Running as if you are riding a bike
Yesterday it was 11 degrees Celsius and almost no wind, the perfect conditions to go out and run. I am still building up with barefoot running so I had to run 22 minutes. I always start inside with a warming up of 20 minutes on the cross-trainer, this prepares your body for action and your feet are wakening up through the relief on the footsteps. Outside I start slowly and after 5 minutes I speed up if the body and feet feel good, yesterday it felt good. I speeded up to a speed I never did before with bare feet. I ran with I high cadence from over 180 and it felt like I was riding a bike. With my history as a amateur road racing cyclist I have ridden a lot of time challenges. During a time challenge you have to reach a stage where your legs are going round in a perfect cadence. Yesterday I reached that stage while I was running, I think I reached a new stage in barefoot running!
