„ballern bis zur Kotzgrenze?“ - „ok“

Das war der Aachener Paarlauf. Wie geil war das denn? 22 Runden und fast noch eine voll gemacht.

Since my Pantas are thoroughly worn down and I'm still struggling to find a reliable source for suitable straps for my #DIY sandals, I've decided to order some fresh #running sandals and try something new: a pair of Bosky Performance Natural Rubber Y-Tech. Excited! 🤩

Running Through the Rain!

Salute to the runners I crossed paths who also kept going!

This was also a stressful run for my left foot. Turns out I haven't recovered from the gout relapsed last week. But since I was out already, I tried to push.

July #running recap: my second-biggest month of the year. 277.6 → 251.4mi, EG 12,328 → 10,012ft, time 50.2 → 47.4hrs. Highlights: a trip to Pittsburgh and Cupertino: I ran my first Pittsburgh #parkrun in 90%+ humidity and got my fastest 5k in 2026 at 23:50, and revisited Carnegie Mellon after 20+ years!

VO₂max jumped to 54.2 (almost an all-time high), and I've run 1,413mi, only 39.2mi behind my yearly goal of 2,500!

Heavy training ahead – onward! 💪

✅ HCA Marathon

Just came home from this awesome city marathon 🤩. It was an excellent race💯🥳. Lovely route, perfect race org, nice t shirt + medal etc. Best weather I could have wished for. I optimistically decided to follow the 3H balloons … but after the first half marathon I was out of power. Perhaps I wasn’t supposed to believe I could pull this off so close to the 100 miler and also otherwise lack of real recovery🙃🫣. Ah well: still happy proud 🤠

Neue #Sportuhr bekommen. Das ich da noch nicht früher draufgekommen bin.

Got a new sport watch. Brilliant choice, we'll see about battery life.

Done! Back to the basics while waiting for the gout crystals to dissolve (a month now). It's painful where the crystals are (left Achilles heel, and left knee). It's tolerable while running, but not post run. #running #kimbia

August #running recap: the same miles as July, 2hr49min faster. 251.4 → 251.7mi, time 47:26 → 44:37, avg pace 9'57" → 9'44"/mi.

I also closed a 5-month mileage deficit and stand at 1,665 of my 2,500mi yearly goal with 0mi behind. VO₂max reached an all-time high of 54.96, breaking a 412-day-old record, and my 113th #parkrun was my fastest of 2026 at 22:20.

Race season starts this month, onward! 💪
