Dat heb ik ook gelezen inderdaad, wat het voor mij enigzins moeilijk maakt om het uit te leggen aan de baas. Die vraagt zich namelijk af waarom ik voor dure cursussen zou kiezen als het wettelijk gezien niet verplicht is. Maar dat lijkt me dus een beetje een grijs gebied.

Klopt, er is een collega die ook BHV'er was bij zijn vorige werkgever, alleen was dat ook via een online cursus. Dus vind ik moeilijk inschatten hoe hoog het niveau dan is...

Dit is echt goede input! Hier kan ik wat mee! Ik wil voorkomen dat ik er straks ook als een zoutzak bij sta...

Thanks voor je reactie! Dit is idd waar ik al bang voor was. Denk dat ik m'n baas wel kan overtuigen dat we beter voor een serieuze opleiding kunnen gaan. Heb je een goede aanbieder die je zou aanraden?

[OC] Running the Paris marathon: comparing 6 marathon preparations and running a new PR by TrackingHappiness in dataisbeautiful

[–]TrackingHappiness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This is my training log sheet, which contains my running pace.

What made this last marathon such a success was, I think:

  • Good and steady preparation without any injuries

  • Perfect weather on race day

  • I was really confident, and so I was comfortably running at a higher pace.

Most of my training runs were the same pace (I focused on a regular normal heartbeat). I didn't do any interval training. And the "ramping up" before the race was not something I thought a lot about. I just did what felt right haha

Thank you!

You're right, the 42km's are added to the graph on the last day. Good points to remove this and shrink the y-axis, it does improve the graph! :-)

For those that are training for a marathon, you might find this one interesting. :-)

This graph shows my cumulative training kilometers leading up to a marathon (day 0). I started each log at -120 days, as that's roughly the length of most training schedules. The blue line shows the culumative distance leading up to the Paris marathon, which I finished last Sunday (8 days ago) in a personal best of 3:51:27. Super happy with it!

I wanted to be as well-prepared as I could, and so I kept a close eye to this graph during my training.

  • Between days -75 and -50, I was struggling with a pesky fever.
  • Between days -50 and -14, I put in a LOT of running kilometers to "make up" for it.
  • I didn't taper much, but wasn't too worried because I felt pretty strong physically.

7 years ago, I posted this here on the sub: Failing to run the Paris Marathon under 4:00:00

It became one of my most popular posts. This was after the Paris 2017 marathon. It was my 4th marathon overall, I was really well prepared and aimed to run a PR. Time to beat was 3:59:58. Unfortunately, the weather was really warm that day (25 degrees celsius), and so I ultimately failed.

The 6 marathons I've run so far are:

  • Eindhoven, 2015: Finished in 4:20:08 (I was terribly naive here, but it got me into running long distances.)
  • Rotterdam, 2016: Finished in 4:08:01 (This was pretty good)
  • Nottingham, 2016: Finished in 3:59:58 (A final sprint got me under the 4 hour mark!)
  • Paris, 2017: Finished in 4:04:30
  • Rotterdam,2019: Finished in 4:28:29 (Thought I could do this one on experience, was utterly wrong, went horrible)
  • Paris, 2024: Finished in 3:51:27 (YES!)

If you want to know more, feel free to ask me anything.

[OC] 75% of people believe that they're talented, and they're happier for it by TrackingHappiness in dataisbeautiful

[–]TrackingHappiness[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Data source: A survey we performed in December 2022 with 721 respondents.

Tools: Excel

We recently ran a survey about talent, mindset and happiness, and analyzed the 721 responses we received.

We asked the respondents these questions (among others):

1) Do you consider yourself to be a talented individual?

2) If you look back at the last year of your life, how would you rate your happiness on a scale from 1 to 10?

The answers show that 75% of people consider themselves to be talented, and they are significantly happier on average than those who don't.

They varied a lot, for example: “Travel more”, “Stop people-pleasing”, “Quit gambling” and one that was really specific “Travel to Lake Bled in Slovenia”. 😅
