2007 Marathon

Still results driven in his core, he dreamt of new goal: the marathon, the holy distance of more than 42km.

His running teacher told him the truth: he had no talent, wrong type of body, legs to short, so not even a chance to complete a marathon.

“Your body can’t handle the enormous amount of training labour” his teacher often explained.

This was partly true, but unfortunately said to a guy who can’t accept the word “NO”. The more the teacher warned him, the more he moved on this idea of the marathon.

After 4 years of severe training, fighting all the typical running injuries, he finished his first marathon in 2007. Another 12 thereafter were completed like Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
