Improve water quality through marathon

Happy new Year everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your holidays! It is already been 3 months since we came back from Japan. Crazy to think that its the same amount of time we took to complete the project, 3010kms. We miss the simplicity we used to have in our adventure; sleeping everyday in our tent, not knowing where we would sleep next, eating when we felt like it (or when we would find convenience stores) and enjoying the everyday scenery which never was the same. The advent

The time passes so fast, we can imagine that we have less than one months to go. It’s almost unbelievable, we remember again when we started, 3 months seemed like an eternity. We did not know how wrong we were…This trip it’s truly an adventure of a lifetime, we will make the most of it before it ends. The melancholy gets through slowly. We are more and more determinated to enjoy every moments of this adventure. For now, we ran more then 2250km from the start. We just realizde

Hiroshima here we are! We start our second month here in Japan, we ran and cycled for more than 1300km for more than 35 days, it’s incredible how fast the time passes. Like you probably noticed through our FB page, this week was a really solid week. On our way to Hiroshima we had to pass through different mountains and highways (we struggled to pass with our stroller). In Japan, the roads are generally tiny with a lot of traffic, for us it is a problem because we struggle to

3rd week Ouf! It’s incredible how the time is just flying by…We just finished our 3rd week already… It’s incredible the things that we saw in that time. For this week we ran and cycled 362km which means a total of 857km, we predict that we will reach 1000km in the beginning of next week. So, we got an average of more than 50km a day…Wow….I am impressed by my body that I able to cope here, I did not expect that at all 😉 Japanese mountains We start the week with a really toug

For the last 2 weeks, we’ve been running across Japan. We ran next to the coast from Fujiyama to Tokyo, in between we will stop to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After that we will run in the Alps to finally arrive in Tokyo, we hope to cover around 3000-3400 km.The first week was a week of adaption, we had to adapt ourselves to the distance that has to be done every day, pay attention to eat the correct food, (we have to eat a massive load), study the map correctly and GPS to find

Just 17 days to go before Japan, is it really possible? Is it really happening?! It sure seems like it! For the last two weeks, I spent the most of my time confirming everything is ready. I have enough “Newton elite shoes” for the entire distance, if i have the”right type of running clothes”, a “suitable tent and sleeping bag”, “sleeping matt”, “gels”, “the right type of bicycle and trailer”…Ouf….! I also had to redesign “my Japan route on the map”, because I can not stay any

The 5th of august we will be leaving the UAE to finally arrive in Japan after a 10 hour flight. The amount of planning we have left is almost not mensurable….But we getting there! Each day we getting closer from our big challenge….Each day we make something done; get used to our equipment (testing the tent etc), make and re-make our ‘to do’ list, make sure that our Japan map is reliable, learning basic Japanese, keep on training, breath…. and so on…! The amount of different
