Website Update

10 May 2025 ·

I updated this website last night and made some final CSS changes to the front page this morning. I’m happy with how things have turned out. As you can see, I decided to design the front page around the topics that matter most to me: Running and Photography.

Apart from updating the design, I also updated the technology behind my site. As a result, everything posted here is automatically shared with the Fediverse. The easiest way to follow updates remains RSS, but if you prefer seeing these updates in your favorite Mastodon client, you can also follow the account @blog@camiel.schoonens.nl.

Now that the design and technology are in place, I will start structuring my content differently to make the overall browsing experience more consistent when browsing different site sections.

To assess my running pace, I repeated the same interval workout today that I did on March 26. While I’m not quite back to where I was a little over six weeks ago, I am pleased with today’s training, as I was able to increase my pace for each set.

52 Weeks – Week 33

9 May 2025 ·

I’m collecting 52 songs in 52 weeks. Every Friday afternoon, I will add a song to my playlist. The aim is to capture my energy and feelings for that particular Friday with the chosen song.

Week 33/52: Simply Red – Money’s Too Tight (To Mention) [Fire Island Vox Remix]

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.

I started this Thursday morning with two different runs on the track: a 5-kilometer tempo run at a pace of 5:13 per kilometer and a 1-kilometer cool-down run at a pace of 6:21 per kilometer.

Both runs went quite well, and I’m happy that I went out again before starting my workday. Today will be a long and intense day filled with meetings and presentations I need to prepare for.

I promised myself I would pick up my training schedule again this week, so I did today with two separate runs on the track. I did one 15-minute warm-up run and another 28-minute progressive tempo run for 43 minutes of exercise in total.

After stretching on the back of the first run, I started my tempo run, which combined a 5-minute warm-up with a 12-minute ‘out’ and an 11-minute ‘back.’ In my ‘out’ laps, I covered a total distance of 1,96 kilometers; in the ‘back’ run, I covered a distance of 2,28 kilometers.
