Natural runner. Czeck!
To the beat of 6500 heel strikers I set out to prove to myself that I am a natural runner. It was the Nike Run Prague 2011 on Sept 3rd and another beautiful summer day with well above 25′C under a clear blue sky. It’s a bit ironic that I picked a run organized by [...]
I want government subsidy
A few days ago I was down to the local pub with a friend for a beer. Very busy as usual but we got seats outside, next to a couple in their sixties. Both were chain smoking and the lady had horrendous coughing attacks in regular intervals. Sounded as if she was coughing up not only her [...]
Barefoot Running (pt5) – Rubber soul
I have used my Vivobarefoot Ultra shoes for six weeks now, it’s about three weeks to go before my 10k race and I am getting more and more confident. The distance is no issue, I do easily do the double in modern running shoes (heel wedge and cushioning), but maintaining good natural running technique to have [...]
What’s your story?
Eastern philosophy speak of consciousness as a higher state of mind, a state where you experience things as they truly are and not through a lens of past experiences or future expectations, free from judgement and manipulation. In theist philosophies, such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism, reaching a state of consciousness is linked to accepting [...]
Kill your darlings
A few days ago an article in the Swedish tabloid newspaper got me firing on all four cylinders. It’s about a young obese boy being sent to a health camp by his obese parents and in the article the mother says: “I hope he gets a kick-start to an active life style!” #$$%#*& #&!@#$!! It’s [...]
Barefoot Running (pt 4) – 10k race coming up
Hey, it’s been a while. Part 3 of this series was posted back in Sept 2009 and although I have not been blogging about my barefoot running since then I have kept at it. Slowly but surely making progress and I have decided to put my barefoot running skills to the test at the 10k Nike Prague [...]
It’s a crazy world, I don’t understand it, I am just aware of it.
“People seem to be turned off, not conscious of a lot of things. You go to work, you do your robot-bit for the day. You come home, you turn the TV on and you hypnotize yourself for 4, 5, 6 hours and you go to bed and get up and do the same thing. It’s [...]
Barefoot Running (pt 3) – Patience, Puma and POSE
A few months into barefoot running I have two major learnings: 1, It’s so smooth, effortless and joyful compared to conventional running, IF you get the technique right. 2, It’s very hard work and takes a lot of patience to reset the muscles, calves in particular, to tune into barefoot running technique. I have searched [...]
Pistol squats – core movement for lower body strength and mobility
It’s is a one of those moves that you impress people with and as a bonus it is an outstanding movement for building lower body strength, mobility and overall balance. To start from the beginning, a pistol is a one-legged squat, one legged raised in front of you, parallel to the floor, while slowly sitting down with [...]
