This is a post combining my two passions: #running and #languagelearning, specifically #Korean 🇰🇷

A while ago I started doing my easy runs while listening to Korean sentences. The audio I uploaded here is a sample from @tomikorean Grammar Book 2

Advantages:
1️⃣ Running slow in zone 2 gets easy because the focus is not on running, but on repeating sentences. If at any point I don't have enough breath to repeat a sentence, it means that I need to slow down.

Trying to figure out what is the best way to share #running here now that I don't use Strava anymore.

Yesterday I treated myself to a nice adventure in the Ardennes between Jalhay and Malmedy. I combined 2 Extratrail loops.
The day started with mists and a drizzle that turned into rain a couple of times. But the afternoon was dry.
Underfoot I had mud, roots and rocks and a couple of patches of snow and ice. I even had to use nano-spikes on 3 occasions.

72km, 1900m of EG.
8:20 of running, 9:30 elapsed.

A nice day out in a beautiful region!

January #running recap: vs December, mileage rose from 139.2 → 159.5 mi (176.6 incl walking). EG dropped from 9,977 → 5,206 ft, while run time increased from 23 → 30.5 hrs.

I missed my 208mi monthly target due to tapering and recovery around a rough #50K race at Bridle Trails. A lingering cough hurt sleep and breathing too.

I’m 52.7 mi *behind* my 2,500mi yearly goal, but I’m bouncing back! Come in March I have half and full #marathon races ahead. Onward!

Ach.. da ich es gerade am Fuß gemerkt habe. Ich hab es heute das erste Mal geschafft, beim Laufen einen Dorn durch die Sohle der Sandale zu treten. 9 mm Gummi einfach durchgetreten.. #running

I keep eyeing the folks doing regular 20-30+km runs and want to just go out and do it, consequences be ignored. My brain reminds me the whole point of taking it slow is so that I can go do that very thing in time.

I am debating what I should be doing next. I've settled nicely into the Zone 2 running habit, and I *feel* as handling six days a week, but I think I'll have to cut that down to five as distance increases. Two days off in a row, or two-off-three-off? Things to try. Thoughts?

Good morning 🌄

I hadn't run since Wednesday, due to feeling mentally fatigued, so needed a couple of days extra rest for my own wellbeing.

This morning, I deliberately went out a little later, just in the golden hour as the veil of night is pulled back, so no torch required. Today a short 7km, and the only thing other than wearing a short sleeved shirt for the first time this year, was to simply run comfortably...it was a super run

This week's training was not top.
I felt exhausted both mentally and physically due to a lot of stuff going on at work, bringing stress in my mind and body.

I skipped 3 running sessions during the week, shortened 2 others, and shortened my long run today.

This is just what my body needs, I think.

But it isn't easy to accept.

Gelesen / Read: Scott Jurek—Eat & Run: Pretty solid book. Good recipes, nice anecdotes and a ton of examples of what I would probably not do, like running with broken bones and stuff. Nevertheless, it felt quite relatable. I liked it.

Watching Vasaloppet (90km cross country skiing fröm Sälen to Mora. 15000 participants. 102nd edition). Always on the first Sunday in March.

My run will have to wait until afterwards but it will improve the chances of summer sun here.

Nationaal Park Marathon Hoge Kempen 2026 was a blast. Perfect weather and such an amazing course. Most of the ~360m altitude gain over 21km happens during roughly 2km after 7km, a soul- and leg crushing incline onto two hills of spoil piles from the mining times. The rest basically wouldn’t matter anymore if it was not on really sandy ground. However, the heathenarea at the end makes up for it.

Also, I think I’m doing fine with 1:44 on that course 😅

Tokyo Marathon done in around 4:09. 5th of 6 World Marathon Majors.
Not near my fastest or near my slowest, happy with race. When I couldn’t run or really live life for ~2 years due to concussion and stroke, didn’t know if I’d be here here, for sure didn’t expect to have run 10 marathons since.

Question for the runners here:

If you could give yourself some advice when you were just starting out to run, what would it be?

I'd tell myself to slow down (pace and KMs).
