    No running for 3 weeks. Can I still make Berlin a succes? | Big Guy Runnin' #25

    I got Covid and have not been able to run for 3 weeks. Needless to say that this is a huge setback for my Berlin Marathon ambitions. That said, no training plan ever really goes to plan. So I'm fully focused on my 3-step plan to make Berlin a successful race nevertheless.

    Building Marathon Confidence | Big Guy Runnin' #24

    42k is a long distance to run - let alone to race. I learned that the hard way in my first Marathon. Since then, I've incorporated distinct ways to build "Marathon Confidence" into my training. It's no rocket science but a simple 3-step process I recommend to anybody to check off for a successful training block.

How I'm approaching it and how my little "framework" (big word, I know) may help you with your running goals - tune in!
