Badger [day#27]
This morning felt rough. It’s probably time to start incorporating some regular recovery work — there’s a lot in the toolbox. For now, I’ve started using my Compressport calf sleeves again after experiencing two light cramps in my left calf.…

Running the Deload to Completion [day#26]
I didn’t sleep well last night, and all day I’ve felt kind of “off”—like I’m out of sync. And the truth is, I am. Routines and repetition give me structure and focus, and these two weeks of “solo dad” life…

Camino Costal [day#25]
Today, my wife began her journey along the Camino Coastal route, starting from Porto in Portugal. Over the next 11 days, she plans to walk more than 270 km — all on foot, with overnight stays in pilgrim hostels. After…

Rain [day#24]
Woke up a bit later today, but still got the planned run done. I’m keeping things light this week – it’s a feel-out phase. I ran 6 kilometers with the dog. It was pouring hard this morning, but here’s the…

One Simple Warm-Up Trick That Solves Everything [day#23]
After yesterday’s heavier day – and trust me, a lot went down (more on that soon) – I woke up feeling like a sack of bricks. That sluggish, foggy kind of morning where your body feels like it’s filled with…

Own strength training plan [day#16]
I’ve designed my own strength training plan to better align with my running goals. Freeletics is still the best bodyweight strength app I know, and I recommend it to anyone — but right now, I need something more attuned to…

I’m training hard—but not smart [day#15]
Once again, I’m training hard—but not smart. Time to rethink the weekly structure and lower the overall load. Getting back into running is taking a bigger toll than expected. Even though metrics like HRV and ATL seem fine, the increased…

Unbroken streaks are overrated. [day#4]
Just two days ago, a friend boasted about his 500-day language learning streak on Duolingo. My first reaction was to congratulate him because doing something consistently for so many days is impressive, right? But then came the question: well, have…

A fixed time. Your contract with yourself. [day#3]
Choose one time of day—not the perfect one, but the realistic one. One that fits into your daily rhythm even when everything else goes wrong. It doesn’t have to be the exact same hour every single day, but it should be…

The Call [day#1]
Hard to imagine a greater comeback than Easter itself, right? It’s the kind of moment that invites reflection, a chance to question your direction and commitments. That’s exactly what happened to me this morning at 7:00, surrounded by nature. It…
