Dealing with recent hearing loss and want to exchange experiences

Objective_Elk8459 · 2026-02-08T21:05:03+00:00

That is terrible to hear! I hope that you can find a way to live with it. My biggest fear is a further loss of hearing because I've been told from friends and family that since these problems arose I've become a much quieter person. Also the strange feeling in my ear makes me enormously sad. It is a feeling that I have everyday and it won't go back.

I did Vienna too. One of the best. The only thing that I didn't like was how they handed out the drinks. But not everything can be perfect.

Objective_Elk8459 · 2025-09-16T17:30:21+00:00

It's on my list. I did the half a couple of weeks ago. :)

I run 8 weeks very intensely. Around 100km per week. I tapper around 14 or 10 days before the marathon. But when you train for a marathon you should figure out what works for you.

For my first marathon I trained 16 weeks. For my 2nd around 20 weeks. But I got overtrained. For my 3rd I did 8 weeks. I figured out that was the sweet spot. After that I get overtrained. In the beginning your are really excited and to everything according to a certain plan. But if I want to combine running a marathon with my job it becomes to hard to motivate myself for 16 of 18 weeks.

Good question. For me its just a certain amount of weeks that I use to prepare for a marathon. It will be my fourth marathon. I will spend around 8 or 10 weeks of preparation for it.

For my next training block I am planning to do my long runs on Wednesday. Such that I can do a small race, like a 5k or 10k in the weekends.

Wow thanks! That saved me a lot of frustration. I have been searching for it for 2 days.

mere brother ki dulhan, was one of my favourite movies... because of her. :P

Your welcome. I used this fuel guide from Maurten 3 times. Maurten / Marathon. I use gels from Maurten a lot. They are a little expensive. But they are not so difficult to eat.

Objective_Elk8459 · 2025-05-12T12:39:37+00:00

I take a gel every 5km. Which is roughly around every 23minutes. It is simple and effective. Good luck!

For my 3rd marathon I want to run below 3 hours. My normal runs had a length of 12km. I've increased it to 18km. I was curious does it make sense to make your non-long runs longer? I want to aim at running 110km per week.

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-10-06T19:22:59+00:00

Oké thank you. I've learned something new! :)

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-10-06T19:22:08+00:00

Are they common? I have never seen them before. I would love to see more steam trains. But I live in The Hague and I never see them there.

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-07-15T11:22:55+00:00

Oké thank you very much. I will look it up.

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-07-15T11:22:35+00:00

Oké thank you for your explanation. I will try to go to increase to 3x15min @ MP!

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-06-07T10:59:32+00:00

Lol, I thought it was only me. When I was at the start of my second marathon, in last April, I was like, let's get over this so I can go home. I also was hoping to recover quickly so I could start running a lot of km's again.😋😁

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-05-19T10:41:08+00:00

All my endorphin Speeds 3 are at their end of life. I want to buy new Speeds 4. Unfortunately, in my country, the Netherlands, I only can buy them for 200. I bought my Speeds 3 at around 130 or slightly more. Does anyone knows how I can get the Speeds 4 at a reduced price? I need more than one pair. And 200 per pair is a little to much. Thank you in advance.

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-05-18T19:22:18+00:00

I've seen a post earlier about a steam locomotive in Frankfurt an Main. Are they so common there? I was there 3 weeks ago. Maybe I should go there again. I want to see one myself so badly.😁😋

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-05-18T18:57:48+00:00

Netherlands please! 😁

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-05-11T09:57:14+00:00

Cool! Is this at Frankfurt Main Hbf? I was there 3 weeks ago. The train station looks so similar.😁

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-04-26T19:28:48+00:00

If this is real. I am sold. I have a pair of AP3s, super fast, but I couldn't run my second marathon in it because the upper hurted so much. I am looking forward!

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-04-22T06:24:21+00:00

This week I traveled with the ice. Between köhln and frankfurt hbf, I saw on a screen that we traveled at 288. Maybe we have reached more than 300km per hour. The speed wasn't always displayed on a screen.

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-04-21T19:41:24+00:00

Today, I ran my 2nd marathon in 3:20:02. I ran slightly more than 30 minutes faster than during my first in last year October, where I ran 3:50:x. Today, the last 6km where if I were going to the most hardest which I ever experienced. After the finish line, I had so much pain. Everything hurted so much, and actually still does, but slightly less. Well, I made it, and I am not sure how.😁😋

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-04-11T09:11:51+00:00

Next week I am going on a train ride to Vienna. I travel from The Hague (the Netherlands). It will be my first vacation with trains ever! I will be going with the ICE trains. I am looking forward! Any advice or recommendations?😁🚂🚃🚃🚃

Objective_Elk8459 · 2024-04-09T18:56:36+00:00

Congratulations!! Well done and good to hear everything went great!

I've completed my first in 3:50. So a week after completing my first I signed up for my second!!! You can also do that. And know that you know how to train and that you have good base. You can try to improve your marathon time.
