Day 21: The Finish Line

And here it is: the last, the final, the most waited day of Dukascopy Marathon!
Here's a short summary of the things I've achieved within those 21 days:
1. Minimized my fat & sugar consumption
Instead, I decided to stick to low-calorie, fulfilling meals. For snacks I was choosing nuts, berries and seeds instead of sugary buns or chocolates.
2. Instead of taking a bus to work, I chose bike
Within 21 days I managed to bike 2.7x2x21 = 113 kilometers!
3. Improved my running speed
Went for a run …

Day 19: Gym Gym Gym

After finishing 10 kilometers yesterday I thought I should give a little bit of a break for my legs. That, however, did not stop me from sports: I still went to the gym, ran 2 kilometers (as a warm up) and continued the training with exercises focused on my upper body - back, chest and arms.
I feel that fully focusing and dedicating one training to my lower body allows me to achieve better results in running as I tend to stretch and "prepare" muscles in that way. As for the upper part - always h…

Day 18: When You're Feeling Like a Lazy A$$

Laziness is something that every person has to a bigger or lesser extent. People say, that the ones who normally use their brains at work (as opposed to physical work) also tend to be a loooot lazier on a daily basis. And I admit - I'm a lazy person. Very lazy. I love eating muffins and drinking tea while fully, to the hundred percent, enjoying my couch potato lifestyle. I don't like to move and I much more prefer to just sit and enjoy the nothingness.
But at the same time I have a will do becom…

Day 16: Pumpin' Up Those Muscles

Today was a lovely Friday - bright and sunshiny unlike the other days this week. Having religiously followed Dukascopy marathon for 15 days in a row today was not an exception either - so right after finishing my (this time - late) working day around 7pm I headed to the gym to pump those muscles.
Going for a run quite often I came to realization that my arms are not the strongest part of my body, so I should focus on triceps in particular.
I still haven't managed to see significant results, but …

Day 15: How do you spoil yourself?

Being a sugar junkie for a long time I’ve got to admin – damn, sugar is good. Sometimes I get those super-bad sugar craving when nearly anything that puts an extra on you looks yummy – let it be a chocolate bar, a piece of cake or anything else from that sort.
Trying to get into shape is never easy, and this time is not an exception either. To get rid of a habit of consuming foods that are both unhealthy and do not bring any benefit for my body (but pleasure) I decided to make a short list of t…

Day 13: Healthy Breakfast = Fuel For The Day

I guess your mother (just like mine) was right: breakfast is a really important meal. Perhaps, the most important of the day. Having a good having of eating breakfast every day is linked to many health benefits, including weight control and improved performance.
When I was a little younger I would normally stick to a so-called "big brunch" instead of breakfast - I'd rather eat later, around 10-11 am and would stick to rather heavy foods, such as pancakes, scrambled eggs or a sandwich. As years g…

Day 9: Sleeping Bauty

I have to admit I'm not too much a person of balance. If I work, I work to the max. If I rest, I rest to the max... I just don't know how to do it for the "medium" level, so as I go to work I try to give it all, all the time until I basically "burn out".
It's been a little more than half a year that I haven't had holidays and it doesn't seem that I am about to have any soon either. So naturally, I get tired (also, add gym and running besides my work) and yesterday was not an exception either. Fe…

Day 8: Little Birdie Wants Some Seeds

Viva la healthy breakfast, runners!
Since I am trying to push myself to run more, researching (and experimenting) with foods has become yet another daily habit of mine. I am trying to find the best possible combinations that would nourish my body and would prepare it for a long, intensive, a few-hour lasting movement. A lot of people who start running ask themselves - what is it specifically that I should before a run? How do I make sure I get everything I need and don't feel too heavy when I'm…

Day 7: No Way Back

7th day of my Dukascopy marathon. 7th day of healthy eating, lean plant-based proteins, vegetables and fresh breakfast smoothies every day. 7th day of mental and physical challenges. 7th day of strength and sense of achievement.
Today I have also officially signed for my first half marathon, which will take place on 14th of May in Riga, Latvia. Having run 10 kilometers last year I feel it’s about time I challenge myself even a little more and try to much my boundaries yet once again.
Here’s so…
