In one of my previous blogs posts I spoke about my training leading up to my first ultra marathon, the D33, in Scotland. On Saturday I did it! My last week of training had me running a 70 minute run on Tuesday. I felt amazing and ready to go and then on Thursday I ran [...]
An ultra marathon is any race longer than a marathon, longer than 42.2 km. Last year, after running the Barcelona marathon, I felt I could run a bit further. How much further, I don’t know yet… But I am now training for a 33 miles (53km) ultra marathon, from Aberdeen (North east of Scotland) to [...]
One of the hippest locations in Amsterdam at the moment - De Hallen has been open for quite a while now, but they only had their official opening on the 6th of February. Instead of their usual weekend Local Goods Market, they organised a special Neighbourhood Market, inviting organisations and entrepreneurs from the neighbourhood to [...]
A couple of weeks ago, Natalie from PhysioMatters and I gave a workshop at ATAC - the Amsterdam Triathlon and Cycling club. I’ve been a member at ATAC for more than a year now, and the idea to give a workshop there was a way of giving something back to the club. Also, I know [...]

The weather was fantastic and the atmosphere was warm and buzzing with positive energy." I was also [...]
This year, us boot campers celebrated the summer solstice one day early with a night run. On the 20th of June, the second longest day of the year, we met in the beautiful Amsterdamse Bos for an evening run. We had runners for the 5K and for the 10K: Emma ran both, Jeremy and Natalie [...]
My goal for 2014 was to take part in my first half distance triathlon and I thought it would be nice to do it with other members of ATAC (Amsterdam Triathlon and Cycling) the club I’ve been training with. Also, club mate Chloe came up with a good argument for doing it early in the [...]
Here is an interview with a client I worked with after she had her second child. She is a busy mum with two children, a husband and a full time job in Den Haag, she came to me to help her with fitness after the birth of her second child. She has made her Personal [...]
