The debate around these subject is everlasting, and it has more directions than the now famous “three body problem”. At a moment, I have developed an idea, based on the “how many degrees from the idiot”, and this can be a source of a slight comment I want to make here, based on facts I…
Talking to myself during the marathon. Episode 1
During a marathon, I talk a lot with my own self, mostly because of the challenges I face while running the 42.195 kilometers distance.

PHOTO STORY | Being and feeling in Nazaré, the land of giant waves
When it comes to unique places in the world, I am the first to want and explore them. Nazaré, from Portugal, is one of these places. Maybe having huge waves at your disposal is not something that happens only here, but having recorded the biggest waves in the world, indeed grants a stamp of a…

Some more activities in Tromsø: Polaria, Mack beer & visiting the famous Arctic Cathedral
When we travelled first time in Tromsø, in January 2023, at the beginning of the year, we covered a lot of things, and activities, but we actually miss some as well. This is why when we decided to spend our New Year’s Eve in Svalbard, Longyearbyen, we jointed four more nights in the Paris of…
Running a marathon – thoughts about my journeys
I was thinking… what does it actually mean to run a marathon…? How rewarding is it, how good or bad for our bodies? It come up to my mind, because I was trying to count in my head how many times I have actually ran a marathon distance or more, or even less, but with…
Man becomes running expert after getting 100 crowns on Strava
Down the street lives a legend! Or is he one? An apparently ordinary guy is prepared to give running lessons, even though he doesn’t run that good. The main reason for this escalation was caused by the fact that when he checked his Strava account, by mistake, he realized he has more than 100 crowns…
