Ik doe mee met de MIND Blue Monday Run 2023

Letterlijk tot de nek in de drek. Lekker buiten gespeeld! 😃

With 8(!) 💩 stops 🙄

Very slippery at parts. But we made it. With Maartje Houben

Relaxed trail run with Tom and Fleur on her bike. Sightseeing Soesterduinen and around the military museum. With an additional dune loop for me as a bonus to get to 16km.

PR! 🎉 It was so cold… thought I run a bit faster to get it over and done with. 💪

Back on track with our half marathon training with Maartje Houben

Adventurous obstacle run with river crossings and rock climbing.

Magical winter wonder land! 🏔️ Genieten met Maartje Houben 🤩

Total 10km but watch did not register all.

Langzaam loopje om m’n heup niet teveel te belasten. Wel fijn om even te bewegen. 🤞

With a beautiful sunrise as dessert. 🫶

Slow run due to an hip injury.

Afternoon walk with mum and Rina

Changes course due to construction works in the park. Lots of puddles to the heavy rains. But still very happy with my time. 🫶

Met Maartje Houben in de 🌧️

Met Maartje Houben Every 7 minutes one minute BKR

Exciting trail run jumping over lots of muddy puddles and roots of trees.

Result: +3

Personal best for Rooney. 🏆

With Maartje Houben. Dark and spooky in the mist.

Still dark when getting out. Brrrr.

Relaxed pace with some intervals

Try to keep my pace while running up and down the Acropolis hill. Bit warm but very scenic!

Interval run through the National gardens, the Olympic stadium, palace and the change of soldiers at Parlement. Definitely not the fastest run because of all the photo stops, but really enjoyed the total package today. 💝

Lekker interval loopje. Rustig aan gedaan. Heerlijk weertje!

Enjoying the last rays of sunshine of the day. Practising shorter steps and less ground contact (the floor is lava!).

Followed a pacer with a pretty constant pace. Felt good and strong. 💪 Fleur volunteered as a token scanner and had the best time too. 👌

Got bitten by an 🪰 at the end, so had to walk back home. Auch.

Perfect weather for a new PB! 💃💃💃 Could even push for a final sprint so I could photograph Tom finishing! 🚀

Interval. Every 200m a bit faster. Last one was semi sprint. 😅

Squeezed in a run between work and getting Fleur from school. Went well. Considering raising my goals for my half marathon pace to 5:45 min/km. But lets first see how Sunday goes!

Nice interval session 🔥

Exploring the outer skirts of Utrecht in the dark

Raining cats and dogs here so decided to do my cardio Sunday in the pool.

Slow recovery run with Fleur on the scooter. Foot still itchy but it seems okay enough to pick up training again. 🤞

The new streamlined bathing suit probably makes the difference… 🤣🤪

Extra swim session. Little itch under my foot (hopefully no fasciitis plantar 🤞) so no running this week.

Quick start, surprisingly well kept my 4:55-5:00 PB and before I knew it there was the finish line! 🥳 never expected this being hungover from a night out.

1km warm up, (10x200m hm tempo, 400m run), 1km Cool down

Every 8’ 1’ tempo

Stunning sunset! 🤩

Quick round while Fleur takes a golf lesson. Beautiful conditions.

With a few stops to 📸 the sunrise 🧡

Running Fleur to school and after that a loop around the city centre.

Started a bit later as the lifeguard did a sleep in. 😴🙄

6' inlopen, 8x (2' 10km tempo-2' rustiger dan rustig), 6' uitlopen.

Quick nine holes while Fleur started the golf season again.

With Tom Linderhof, Fleur on the 🚲 and Rooney 🐶

First time back in the pool after reopening. Anyone tips on how to increase my speed? 😅

Every 3’ 10 seconds sprint

With 7x100m speed work

Date sup around the lake with Tom Linderhof while Fleur is playing in the kids club. 👌

With an extra sightseeing loop into the old town to hit 10km.

Samen met Corinne van den Bos zonder horloge vandaag. Genieten met de dauw nog op het meer! ❤️

Lago di Levico with Corinne van den Bos

Some stretching and 90’ music makes it fun. Ended with 4 minutes aqua jogging to complete the 30 minutes.

To the other side and back. Water is flat like a mirror. Beautiful.

Relaxed bijklets loopje met Corinne van den Bos

Relaxed run with a few intervals on my new shoes!

No parkrun Saturday but a run along Salò boulevard. No drills, just enjoying the scenery. ❤️

Every three minutes a 10s sprint. Very hard as there are no flat areas here apart from the loop around the church square. 😅

2km warming up and cooling down 4x 300m hill run 4x 150m steep hill sprint

5’ warming up and cooling down 3 * 5’ run from point A to B and then faster back to A again

What a glorious morning @ oale groond in Twente!

Garmin didn’t pick up the first 800m for some reason. But pretty happy with the results as I had to stop and go multiple times with Floor on the scooter.

Morning run with Tom Linderhof Interval 1km warm up 6x 200m sprint, 400m recover 1km run 2x 200m sprint, 400m recover 1km cooling down

My running buddy had to cancel so went for a swim instead.

Had to do it again. Just with wider corners to reach the 5km on my watch.

Active recovery

1km warming up 5x 400m faster 1km slow walk back

Lots of traffic in my lane, but managed 1k.

Watch did mot register the kilometers for some reason. Should be around 1km.

Moody start of the day after weeks of sunny blue skies. But got it done ✅

Very busy in the pool this morning.

Your name in exercises. Hot hot hot 🥵

First parkrun in Alkmaar. ✅

2km jog, 5x50m sprint, 5 450m run, 1km cooling down Need to get that tempo up again.

Glorious morning for a sup with little mini me. ☀️

Slow start due to some chatting to other parkrun tourists. After that picked up pace. No energy for a finish sprint anymore.

Glorious sunny day for it! 🥰

It felt like a marathon. Legs are very heavy. 🥵

Slow run along the Old Turia River Bed to the new town and back again.

Still struggling hugh.

Still looking to get my mojo back… 🙄

Tailwalker with only fast runners so made the best of it with Rooney. 🐶

Played terrible. But I hit my first hole in one!!! 🎉⛳️🎉

Back om track with a 10km PR plan. Didn’t get into the run properly. Still heavy legs.

Running in and out of a swimmingpool, a gym, Padel, a farm, a brewery, museum and the Markthallen. Fun run it was!

+4

Just didn’t feel it. Heavy legs, pain everywhere and felt like pudding. Definitely need to get my running mojo back…

PB olé olé olé! 🥳

Last km’s before the hm in Paris! 😚

Started a bit earlier because of the heat. Still hot hot hot. 🥵 Lots of pelicans, dogs, a beautiful sunrise including a rainbow and an incoming Christmas tree / cruiseschip.

Challenging run in the heat. But we made it. Now time to relax at the beach. 🏖️

Nice round of golf with donkeys, salamanders, cactus, sea and lots and lots of sand. Quite an experience. Thanks for having us Florus from @Bonairegolf

Slow recovery jog after the long Saturday run. Day later than planned due to food poisoning on day 1 of our holidays. Big struggle due to being weak, the heat and the humidity. But loved running along the beach again! 🏝️

Last long run before the HM. 😬 Including 5km tempo parkrun at Maxima Park.

Nice run. Felt strong.

One big struggle coming back after a chest infection. 🤧

Texas Scramble. Derde plaats 🥉

Lots of dogs off the leash so had to slow down multiple times. Also included some trails which were very slippery.

6’ warm up 5x 3’ 5:45, 4’ slow

Decided to run into the city but hit lots of traffic lights. Felt heavy from start to finish, did not get into the rhythm of it. But hey it’s done!

Volunteered together with Rooney. Only runners today so we followed the pace of the last runner and did a steady and very enjoyable jog together.

Prachtige omgeving!

Couldn’t sleep so started a bit earlier. First km was very dark, after that all was good. Wasn’t my best run but it’s done.

1 km warm up 8x 200m progressief, 600m relaxed 1km cool down

Family run in the snow. Bit slippery and icy but we made it round. Beautiful scenery in the forest!

We cancelled Thursday and Friday because of the snow and ice. Parkrun this morning was cancelled too. Decided to give it a go now and it was fine, just be careful with a few icy parts. Training: 2x100 m fast and 900m relaxed 2x200 m fast and 800m relaxed 2x300 m fast and 700m relaxed

Interval session. My legs were very heavy still from the weekend. Joan paced me through it. 🏃🏼‍♀️ 🏃 💨 Completed a bit more than Garmin calculated. 💪

Used it as my long slow run so I was happy it was a bit more then the 10km I signed up for. Quit windy and lots of rain. Loved the single tracks but the asphalt not so much.

Interval training. The weather was yuk.

1km warm up 6x 200m posture 200m fast (5:30-6:00) 500m slow (6:20-6:30) 8’ cool down

Lekker rondje buiten spelen met Joan. Started off in the dark and soon the sun came out. Joan clocked 11,6km with a pace of 7:14. Big difference in watches!

Tempo run with Tom 🏃‍♂️ 🏃🏼‍♀️ Tourists in Eindhoven.
