I’ve been in Marrakech since yesterday with three of my longest-standing friends. Two of them joined me this morning on a recovery run around the city.
🛫 Eindhoven – Marrakech 🛬
The day started very early for me today with a taxi pick-up at 04:30 in the morning. I’m going to Marrakech today with three of my oldest friends. We are staying in the Marrakech area until Monday morning and we will do lots of cool stuff between now and then.
This is my first time traveling to Morocco, and I look forward to the cultural experience, the fantastic nature, and the warm weather compared to the current weather at home.

Today’s interval run was initially planned for yesterday morning, but I had to skip that run; my day was too packed to complete a training session next to everything else. This was intense training at an average pace of 4:47 per kilometer.

It’s Sunday evening, and I still haven’t posted my thingsThisWeek for the past 7 days. The past week went by really fast due to a busy workweek, a busy and fun weekend, and preparations for yet another full-packed and fun week ahead.
Enjoy reading.

This was another fun week for running, and I improved on almost all of my metrics compared to last week. My Friday 35-minute run included a 25-minute tempo run, which I could complete at 5:10 per kilometer.
