Running in the Alps in the ‘Sud-Tirol’ area today. We arrived here yesterday afternoon and are staying here until Saturday. I enjoyed this run on the slopes at 1200m, it was the perfect exercise after driving 700 kilometers yesterday. #running #runnersofmastodon
This is a fantastic website full of running statistics from Adrien Friggeri, who has been running every day for more than ten years in a row. I love how all the statistics have been brought together in different graphs and data points.
I didn’t start running until I was in my late twenties, and even so I would end up in a pattern where I’d get motivated and go on a couple of runs, take a few days off, go on another run the following week, and next thing you know it’s been a month since I last run. Rinse and repeat.
In July 2015, something changed. I headed out on a run on a Tuesday, then did another one the next day, and the day after, and… I took the Friday off. When I woke up on July 11, 2015 I remember thinking I could have done 4 days in a row, so I set out to try and do that. 4 days turned into a week, then a month, then two, then six, then a year, and here I am, ten years later.
I headed out early this morning to beat the heat and hit the nearby track. With the sun already climbing, I did a challenging interval session: 20 sets of 30-second sprints with 1-minute rest in between. The shade at that time of day helped make it more doable. It was tough, but I felt great afterward!
I’m collecting 52 songs in 52 weeks. Every Friday afternoon, I add a song to my playlist. The aim is to capture my energy and feelings for that particular Friday with the chosen song.
Week 43/52: My Number – Foals
After 52 weeks, I will have recorded all the seasons, holidays, and high and low weeks of the year (from October 2024 to September 2025) in one self-curated playlist on Apple Music. Don’t use Apple Music? Subscribe to weekly updates via RSS.

Hi everyone, don’t feel obligated to do anything, but every little bit helps.
On September 20th, I’ll be running the Dam tot Dam run with 15 colleagues to help children growing up in insecurity and uncertainty. As a team, we’re trying to raise at least €4,000. With this money, the Forgotten Child Foundation will give these children hope, peace, and a chance to just be children.
Every little bit helps, so will you join us and support me?
