Dear visitor, welcome to my blog about running, gadgets, fun stuff, etc. I am a fun-runner, who is more focused on running/cycling/hiking at beautiful landscapes with a good company, than beating my PB for a given distance. I created this blog to post about stuff that I am often asked about, so that I can just send the link and run instead 😂 Posts are few and far between, and usually long. If this is your cup of tea, then enjoy the content.

Accompanying first-timers 😈

Essentially, there are 3 different ways for me to run my races:

competitively
cruising
accompanying

The first is pretty self explanatory, the second happens, when I have no dedicated partner for the race, so I'm just cruising along (usually) in a comfortable pace, chatting with friends I meet, or enjoying the scenery. The third category entails races where (either in a pre-planned way, or ad-hoc) I team up with someone and stick to them.

Now, this page is about those category 3 races, where the unfortunate target of my attention ran Her/His first half marathon or marathon with the added difficulty of enduring my often annoying company. Being part of someone conquering such an achievement is always a very uplifting experience. Luckily, this is something I had the pleasure of doing plenty of times, and the snapshots below serve as a collection / reminder for me to smile on while having a nostalgia breakdown 😁.
