A few weeks ago I bought a new tracker: Moov Now which I have been testing. And so far, it’s been a pretty good experience. In this post I’ll tell you about my experience with the Running Workouts. As a runner, you can choose from a variety of workouts, all with a different goal. Running Efficiency […]
Me and Moov: The App
A few weeks ago I bought a new tracker: Moov Now which I have been testing. And so far, it’s been a pretty good experience. First, the tracker itself. As I wrote in my last blog, the tracker is small, lightweight and you will hardly notice it is there. I wear it on my ankle while […]
Running with Moov
The irony of writing a blog on my new tracker right after I published a post how running without trackers is more fun is not lost on me. But you could also say that if a tracker is able to convince me, it must be special! And yes, Moov is cool! I stumbled upon Moov Now […]
Running in Pretoria
My first visit to South-Africa will not be my last one: what an amazing, beautiful country. My plane landed close to midnight, so it was dark and warm as we drove out of the airport to Pretoria, where I was staying. I had a full program which did not allow a lot of time for […]
Running in San Francisco
While traveling I had some free time so I spent the weekend in San Francisco. On Saturday I rented a bike and pedaled across the Golden Gate Bridge. If you know how to ride a bike that is simply the best way to see the city – you can cover a lot of ground and […]
You Don’t Have To Finish A Marathon To Be A Runner
It’s the end of 2016 and the “what I want to accomplish in 2017” tweets are crowding my time line. A magazine challenges us to run 3 miles per day, every day. Most running tweeps aspire to run half marathons, marathons or even ultraruns of 100k or more in the new year. I don’t. Full […]
Running in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in the world. It’s small enough to walk everywhere and there is history around every corner. So I never miss an opportunity to visit. If you expect that I run along the canals in Amsterdam, you’re bound to be disappointed. Though exceptionally beautiful, I won’t recommend running in […]
Running in Paris
Well, who would not want to run in Paris? I visited Paris last year around the same time. My schedule was so full that I could not get a run in and I had to make do with the gym. Which wasn’t bad, but who wants to run indoors in Paris? Not me. So this time […]
Running in Orlando
I was in Orlando for a conference and I had a full schedule, starting at breakfast all the way up to dinner. So I had to schedule my run before dawn, while it was still dark. The hotel had a great gym, but when it’s nice and warm I like to run outside. I realized […]
Running in Chicago
I happened to be in Chicago the week before the Chicago Marathon – had I paid attention I would have extended my stay… too late for that. However, I enjoyed being there so close to the action as I got to meet many runners. I don’t think I ever ran a trail outside of a […]
