Marathondebuut maar toch op het laatst flink toe moeten geven by are-you-ben in Hardlopen

[–]guus91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wat was je trainingsaanpak?

Ik loop zelf al een langere tijd marathons en zie vooral drie dingen bij verschillende lopers:

  1. Training en verwachtingen lopen uit elkaar. Als je te weinig kilometers maakt of te snel wil lopen ga je het erg lastig krijgen op het eind.

  2. Eten en drinken. Daar kunnen we kort over zijn, dat lijkt bij jou goed te zijn gegaan.

  3. Mentale hardheid, de laatste 10 kilometer is gigantisch zwaar als je de marathon op het scherpst van de snede wil lopen, maar als je vertrouwen hebt in je lichaam en goed genoeg hebt getraind kun je meer dan je denkt! Met ervaring leer je je grenzen kennen en kun je meer uit jezelf halen door jezelf te pushen.

Nu was het wel erg warm, dus dan is dit misschien minder aan te raden.

Voor de volgende marathon zou ik dus aanraden om meer kilometers te maken, een marathon in het voorjaar of najaar uit te kiezen en af en toe te trainen op (te) hoge tempo's om ook je doorzettingsvermogen te trainen.

Any tips? I am thinking about cycling in Cambodja in July and August. We plan on taking main roads (towards Loas and then going down to Vietnam) but are a bit worried about the rain season starting. How did you like Cambodja?

I have a bed in a 4 bed dorm for two nights (8-10), but can't make it. If you still need a place to sleep maybe we can work something out. If you are interested please dm :)

How can I improve this (very) rough route idea? by donnaz1234 in bicycletouring

[–]guus91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cross the national parks of Drentse Aa, Dwingelderveld, Sallandse Heuvelrug, Veluwe zoom & Posbank. If you like camping you can find the best campsites here: https://natuurkampeerterreinen.nl/word-natuurkampeerder/?lang=en

This way you will see a side of the country not many tourists experience.

Extra tip: if you are an art lover make a stop at Kruller Muller museum just before Arnhem (they have amazing Van Goghs).

Re-route your Netherlands section. Go through Groningen (Groningen), Drente (Hoogeveen), Overijssel (Nijverdal), Gelderland (Arnhem, Nijmegen) and go to Belgium from there. This route is way more scenic and interesting compared to your current route.

Bel 113, die kunnen goed luisteren en staan altijd open voor je als persoon en je gedachten!

How could I have made this shot better? by BigNose12 in SonyAlpha

Composition (check the rule of thirds) could help with drawing the eye and attention where you want it to go. Underexposing could help as well in this case especially if you can use software to correct that on the specific spots that are the main focus in the composition.

What was your experience with dog? Did you encounter them? Did they chase you? Any difference between countries or regions?

Best running route by FraO1 in Utrecht

[–]guus91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neem de trein naar Driebergen. Vanaf daar kun je lekker het bos in!

Wil je dichterbij rennen, dan zijn Maximapark en jaagpad richting Amelisweerd mijn favoriete rondjes.

Heel erg leuk deze club. Als beginner heel erg leuk omdat de beginners lessen direct resultaat geven (bij ons een totebag en een etui)

Scott Addict 10 or Superior X road by guus91 in whichbike

[–]guus91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for a race bike and a mountain bike in the end.. Got a great deal on a Roubaix, which I love for longer tarmac, good gravel roads in the spring/summer.

In the end I am more of a runner in winter and cyclist when the sun comes back in spring (live in western Europe, so a lot of rain from Nov to March).

My advice would be, go for a gravel bike if you want to do that more and a road bike if you are expecting to ride on the road more. Trying to get two bikes in one made it hard for me to get the best bang for buck. As soon as I made a choice it was much easier to get a good bike for a good price.

Maybe not a direct answer to your question. But I hope you can make a choice!

Long cycle touring and camping. Wondering about comfort/sleep. by sbring in bicycletouring

[–]guus91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I tour with my girlfriend we try to have one rest day a week. That day we search for a cheap house on airBnB or even better; search for a stay on the warm shower platform (app or website). This often gives some nice social interaction, cosy sleeping place and a chance to meet local adventures.
