LOOK AHEAD.
Rotterdam was three weeks ago already, three weeks of relative rest done.
Last week we got back into a daily routine again, but we kept the intensity low.
From this week onโฆ itโs back to work for real ๐ !
Curious to see how quickly that good feeling comes back, because letโs be honest... six months of training disappears in just three weeks off ๐!
Who can relate ๐?

PODCAST ALERT.
Ik kreeg de kans om bij de geweldige @giannifaelens aan tafel aan te schuiven.
Gelukkig deze keer wel de tijd gevonden om over mijn passies in dialoog te gaan met Dr. Faelens.
Podcast is terug te vinden in mijn bio!

Yesterday wasnโt the day I expected.
With the shape I was in and the preparation I had, I truly believed everything would come together. But marathon running, and sport in general, doesnโt always follow the script.
Sometimes, despite doing everything right, the execution just isnโt there.
Thatโs the reality of chasing limits: you win, you learn, you grow.
This one hurts, no doubt. But after taking a step back, the disappointment has already turned into fuel. The hunger for a next marathon is even bigger now.
I really enjoyed the process! So weโre going to do it all over again, with just as much dedication and love for the sport ๐ช๐ฅ!
Thank you for all the overwhelming and fantastic support, for me and our beautiful sport ๐!

DISAPPOINTMENT.
I'm not gonna lie... didn't see that one coming! All signs were in the right direction before @marathonrotterdam !
I felt amazing the first half, with a packed group, perfect pacing from @elcatrofe and a 63' flat halfway. But at the 23k mark, out of the blue my legs were cut off. I can't find any reason why or how for now, but my race was over. Still finished in 2h10'33", but I was even running slower than my 2mmol paces in training. That leaves me with some question marks right now.
Very tough one to take, because I was feeling really good during this build-up. Worked hard, so I was ready to harvest... but I need to be a little more patient, again.
Thanks for the extraordinary support here in Rotterdam, online and at home. Really appreciate it ๐!
