Nebunia de la 2X2 Race
Anul acesta pentru mine 2X2 Race a fost in topul celor 3 curse asteptate. Multe din alergarile pe care le-am facut au avut drept scop pregatire pentru acest concurs. Am alergat la proba X2, o cursa de 18km (1900D+) extrem de tehnica care se desfasoara la peste 2000m altitudine. Traseul te urca de la Lacul Balea pana pe Varful Negoiu… Read more →
Cine e tare ca muntele la Retezat Maraton?
Startul intarziat M-am trezit la 6:00 am sa ma pregatesc pentru startul probei Zimbru de la Maratonul Retezat (23km +1850m D).

Care e treaba cu Kickboxingul?

De atunci este pe lista alergarilor mele montane iar in acest an, de ziua mea, mi-am propus ca voi participa la aceasta competitie indiferent de ce se va intampla. A fost un cadou… Read more →
De ce sa (nu) participi la Retezat SkyRace?
Incerc in ciuda caldurii de afara sa fac o analiza la rece a experientei avute la Retezat SkyRace. Un eveniment pe care l-am asteptat cu nerabdare pe masura ce vedeam pozele si filmuletele postate de organizatori. A fost de asemeni, prima data cand am participat la o competitie de SkyRace. Am facut traseul Buta, 23km cu 1400m diferenta de… Read more →
Life transformation after my first Camino journey
It’s been almost a year since I walked my first Camino in Spain. It was an old project and only in 2018 I had the time and money to do it.

What’s the point of running barefoot?
There are two topics I would like to bring into conversation and invite you to debate. The first one is about running shoes and the second one is about foot strike. Both topics I believe represents a matter of interest for every runner. I’ve taken part of endless conversation about running shoes and I must admit I have a thing with minimalistic… Read more →
What does lifestyle mean to you?
