When going on a bike trip, there are two options. Either you go riding a bike or you go carrying luggage. Since we wanted to preserve the fun of riding fast bikes and and not towing up each hill at least 25kg, we opted for the former over the latter and are traveling light. When [...]

2911km to be exact are behind in this 400days project. What did we learn from almost 3000km? We’re not as good as we’d like to be and it takes quite some time to become a little bit better. Running in warm and sunny weather is much nicer than in a horizontal snow [...]
at least for one race. We didn’t change discipline here. Although, it would be an interesting area to try out, too, no doubts about that…
How did this happen? The Helsinki City Run, the biggest long distance running event here in Finland with about 10,500 runners registered, is a half marathon run that takes place on [...]
Earlier this week I got some papers from my Coach. Did I mention already that I have a coach now. I guess I didn’t, about him another time. Anyway, he’s a bit older and he still works with papers. He gave me a lot of stuff on paper up to now, but the latest stack [...]
