Do me a favor, put your phone down and go tell your partner, kids or whoever needs to hear it that you love them. Don't wait till later. Do it now. Call them. Hug them. Life can be over in a literal heartbeat 💓.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

I'd love to see a video about your office hours. Are they working (i.e., are you getting out of it what you wanted), what are topics people discuss with you etc.

Congrats!

Henrik Wist @runbikeco.de · 1d

Off-season racing can go in any direction. Today was a surprise for the better. Fastest 10k since 2018 and only 44 seconds off the PB. Given a 22 km/h wind on the course I'd say "happy camper". #running

That, and also the fact that she will be allowed to compete again in 3 years. #lifetimeban

I’ve been alcohol-free for 555 days and it still feels amazing! I shared my journey back in April: www.runbikeco.de/on-being-sob... #soberlife #running

On being sober

I celebrate one year of having eliminated alcohol from my life.

I agree, it's my favorite distance. It has a marketing problem, though, because it's just "half" of something. It should have a different name and (more) dedicated races, and not be mixed with marathons as a side effect.

David Dack @daviddack88.bsky.social · 5d

Here’s why I love the half marathon:

It’s the Goldilocks race.

Not the all-out burn of a 5K.

Not the soul-grind of a full.

Just right.

And...

Tough enough to demand discipline.

Train smart (not just hard), and the half will make you faster, stronger, and sharper than you’ve ever been.

I'll happily return – ideally with a time qualifier – again once the political situation has improved. That also includes potential future trips to Boston. Until then I'll stick to European venues for marathoning. #marathon

Just got the email from the Chicago Marathon to sign up for 2026 with my deferred guaranteed entry (from this year). Very tempting, but
a) 2026 is going to be a summer of speed (3k - 10k)
b) the US of A are not safe to travel to and don't deserve my money 😥

Sounds like a typical Marathon to me 🤣

A tempo run in disguise. 10 x (3' sub threshold, 1 ' float). What a fun Sunday. #running

On today's menu: an easy hour run, then some taxi service for the daughter, then some tree felling for the in-law.

Henrik Wist @runbikeco.de · 11d

Well done! Progress is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

Henrik Wist @runbikeco.de · 11d

Nice one. Was there rest between the 1200 or is that a steady progression?

I just had a rare 1:1 quality time with my coach on my run (he's also doing our company's #run class every Thursday night and once in a while nobody else signs up). There's something to be said for letting it rip while getting a pep talk 😉. On the cooldown we talked about next season. Im pumped. 💪

Yes, so much yes to this. Read the 🧵and adhere to it. Your future, in particular your first, marathon performance(s) will thank you later.

David Dack @daviddack88.bsky.social · 13d

Race week can mess with your head.

You’ve trained for weeks—maybe months—and now the taper hits. You feel restless. Nervous. Tempted to “do something.”

That’s exactly when smart runners screw up.

Here’s your race-week don’t list 👇

Thank you, Mario! Keep an eye out for the next parts (or subscribe to the newsletter/blog, you'd be number 5 😅).
