The amazing Ed Whitlock.

80 years old and he sets a new age best in yesterday's Rotterdam marathon......3:25 something. An amazing feat that is truly inspiring.

MBC 10k

Pleasing run yesterday. Competed in the 10k event as part of the Adidas MBC marathon festival in Misari just outside Seoul-sorry no pictures as I forgot my camera. Overall 18 000 runners competed in one of the marathon, half, 10k, and 5k races. And yours truly finished 5th in 35:48, so a good sign of how things are at this stage of my preparation for the Gold Coast marathon in 12 weeks.

OXFAM Yamathon 2011

In spite of some navigation problems due to the fact that team leader James (Yorkshire Madman) Midgley forgot his maps we finished in just under 4:30h, achieving our target for the 40k around Yamanote Line in spite of running a full marathon (42:22 according to my Garmin).

Thanks to all of the people who watched us on Ustream - check out the videos (link above) if you…

Cherry Blossoms and Charity

A beautiful day at the Path of Philosophy, and a lot of good people who donated for the earthquake victims. A young couple of runners who I had handed my flyer came running after me to hand me a 1000Yen note, and a group of foreigners celebrating under the cherry trees donated 500Yen each.

May go for a second run later…

Ultramarathon Jeju

In yesterday's 80k trail run, until 38.4, I had a good race, was running in 3rd position, after the summit of Mt.Halla and a lot of slippery snow. I then missed the course due to a mistake by the organizer and was quite upset. Well, they declared me a finisher, because I ran 70k and crossed the summit of Mt. Halla, but I would have liked to try to challenge Yoshi for the… Continue

The Run4Tohoku Challenge - my best one up till now!

Today, I ran 6.3k in under 52 minutes, collecting 6059Yen in the process. This amounts to roughly 1000Yen per kilometer at an 8min pace! Who can beat me?

GPS here

As a hint, if you want to improve on this, try to run at at high pace - sweat makes you more credible - approach the potential donors at preferably 4min./k or faster, come to a sudden stop, hand over your flyer, and tell your story!

Good…

On the Road

On the road to Western Japan, not on my Leopard, changed to a sturdier bike with  a shopping basket and only three gears because I carry more than 20kg of luggage.

The winds are coming from the West, and they are extremely strong, so, it's hard to pedal, but we can feel safe about the radiation - I have never been so happy about cycling against the wind.

On the…

Thank You
