It’s days like these that make me super grateful for what I get to do professionally while being able to combine it with the things that give me joy in my personal life.
Today marks a milestone for me. I ran the iconic Sydney Harbor Bridge and around the Opera House. The weather was horrible, and I returned to the hotel soaking wet, but I didn’t want to lose this opportunity, as I don’t know if I’ll ever return to this location again.
Running through Central Park, New York, was one of those things I wanted to do at least once in my life.
I can’t complain about how this recovery run went after traveling to the US from the Netherlands yesterday. I had a decent night op sleep and could cover a recovery distance of 7 kilometers in a little over 39 minutes.
I’m not sure what happened during this long run, but it definitely didn’t go as planned. Halfway through, my legs started to feel very heavy, and my average heart rate during the run was much higher than it normally is at this pace.
I will go for an easy run tomorrow morning to see if things will be different or not.
This was my early morning run with my teammate and colleague Henk-Jan through the city of Paris. We covered a little over 7 kilometers, passing some major landmarks and running along the Seine river. A run in a different area or city is always enjoyable and a great way to start the day.
I’m hoping to do the same in the next two weeks while I travel to New York, Melbourne, and Sydney for business.
I completed another run in Italy today. This time, I went out for a 5-kilometer recovery run, which was tough after last night’s cheese and pizza. I covered the distance in 35:24, keeping an average pace of 7:03 per kilometer at temperatures already around 30 degrees at 8:30 in the morning.
