Us runners are aiming higher and higher because we have quite of a big ego that need to be fed. Believe me. If any runner says he’s not running for him at least at a level, mostly the main level, then he’s lying. For me, 2X2 Race was a dream from one year ago or…

CASE STUDY | Five consecutive days without running: the feeling
For some years, running became a lifestyle for me. Never had a major injury, that forbid me to do the job, to go for a run. Regardless how fast or how many breaks I took. The impact was in most case of the situation mental. The only trap for running almost every day was my…
Running in the rain and accelerating over the mud: Brașov Intersport Halfmarathon
Did you see “The Miracle of Bern”? It is a great movie, about the World Cup final from 1954, when West Germany beat 3-2 Hungary, “The mighty Magyars”, who led 2-0 in 10 minute and, most importantly, won 8-3 in the group stage. There are several theories of what happened there and the most interesting…
Have nothing to do? Then go and run 70 kilometers in two days: Sibiu, Hunedoara, Deva
Since I’ve started to run, I’ve encountered all kinds of races and in some years, like for example in 2019, when I wasn’t afraid I would embarrass myself, I’ve gone to more than 30 running events. I have already told you and written quite a lot about some of them, but never about this specific…
Running through the snow. Plenty of snow!
What can I say… as I am getting older, it seems like cold weather and even snow are challenging my feeling more and more. I don’t like them like I used to, but still, even though it’s March, I’ve went for a couple of runs around my soon-to-be neighborhood and experienced almost blister like conditions….
Running in the Mountains: 2X2 selection and further enthusiasm
2X2. When started to write here after many, many years I was in Hungary and didn’t met too many runs with ascent, despite running a lot. Ironically… It is ironic that also I have started to go running on mountains, in 2017, before actually going on a serious mountain hike. In fact, I did only…
1 year. 353 running days. 5.254 kilometers
Well, things are progressing. The COVID-19 pandemic is still here, but got used to it. On 19th of March 2020 I flew back from Bucharest to Budapest. Alone in the plane! In that same evening I’ve started running after a three days break. I didn’t stop a single day until 11th of… December! 268 days…
You don’t need special shoes to run! 6.000+ km story of Kalenji
Look very carefully at the picture. This ordinary Kalenji Ekiden Trail shoes gathered more than 6.000 kilometers! I don’t know to tell you exactly how many, because I never thought, when I have started using them, that they will be so long in service. Though, the motive is simple. When I’ve been relocated to Budapest…
5.062 kilometers for 2020
I was thinking short how my first post here, for 2021 should look like… Nothing to mention from this new year in terms of sports as only few days passed. But I know for sure that the numbers reached in 2020 won’t be matched in 2021. Not because I cannot do it again, but I…
29 February, running and getting lost in rainy Malmö
Considering this day is the one and only we have it once every four years, I find it real special. So this year wanted to make it memorable. Of course, I wasn’t thinking at a run in particular, but the evening brought it into light. Initially, on this very special day of 2020, I should…
