Running 13 000 km across Africa | Breaking Down my CNA Interview

Experience talking with CNA938 On the 6th of March I had the great opportunity to chat with the lovely people over at CNA938. It was my first time on live radio and a very exciting experience! If you didn’t get a chance to listen to it then, here is the Audio Recording: (Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for upcoming video) I was so nervous and excited, after listening to the play back I thought about a million other things to mention. For this week’s blog, I thought t

A year of Running, 2019 Race Overview [Part II]

Read Part I [Here] 26- 09- 2019- Spartathlon Greece- Epic Fail Recap on the Spartathlon Experience Blog Spartathlon has always been my dream race. I remember when I start to run ultra-marathon race and I saw those crazy elites’ runners starting the race at the base of the Acropolis. I always saw them as runners with superpowers! I couldn’t even imagine that at some point in my life I would be one of them. (Spartathlon is a 250km race with a 36hrs cut off- similar to Sakura M

Running 160 km in a 400 m Stadium’s Track for 21 hrs | My Endurance Nature 100 miles experienc

Why run for 21 h? Endurance Nature here I come… The friends I had met during the Spartathlon all said the same thing. They believed that I DNFed because of circumstances (lack of rest), not because of my lack of ability. Their advice was to find a 24 h race so I could test my speed. As soon as they suggested a 24 h race, I had found one. Of course I had to join my favorite organisation’s – Endurance nature team – 24 h event in Malaysia. I registered when I was still in Greece

Running 160 km in a 400 m Stadium’s Track for 21 hrs | How it all started…Recap on Spart

Running around 400-meter loop for 100 miles sounds crazy? Yes, IT IS! Last week-end I ran exactly 160.72 km in a time of 21hours 03minutes, meaning that I exactly ran 392 laps of 400 m, with an average of 3 min for each lap. So, if you remove the 0.700 m (with 3 min average of each loop), this means I achieved a sub of 21 hours on a 100 miles! An achievement I never imagined I was capable of doing… This, once again, proves that we are much stronger then we think we are! I am

Running 444 km in 98 hours: My C2C Ultra Running experience

A week ago, I won first overall on the Coast to Coast 444 km across Malaysia. I am still searching for the right words to describe the event. It will take me weeks to really digest what I have gone through during the race. So far, I can confidently tell you that I am not the same now then the Vero at the starting line. I pushed through the event to a point I thought was impossible beforehand. I discovered a part of me I didn’t know nor believed existed before. This event gave

Big in Japan: 2 months after

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

Big In Japan: Last month

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

Big In Japan: Arriving in Hiroshima in nearly one piece

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

Big in Japan: 17 days before Japan- is it really possible?

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
