I just ran the first 100 kilometers in the New Balance SC Elite v4. One of the most anticipated carbon plated running shoes of early 2024.

Will try to give you my honest opinion on what I think about the shoe and how it felt running in it.

I also wrote and published a review. It's available on the rundandsmile.net webpage.

Shin splints are one of the most common injuries for runners. In this episode we talk with Marie what they are, why we get them, how to avoid them and what to do, if we get them.

As for all injuries, we should seek advice from an expert and as Marie is one, you can reach out to her, if you need.

I waited quite long to publish my goals for this year. But just over the last days I finalized my race plan for this year.

Therefore I'm publishing my goals end of February.

Not only my running goals but also my personal goals for the Happy Runner podcast and some other running related goals I have for this year.

Rather than exact training plans I want to talk about all aspects that are important when training for a fast 5k and also the fact why marathon and half marathon runners like me are struggling to run a fast 5k.

This episode is also for those new to running that want to get advice on how to run a 5k race faster.

In case you need a training plan according to your personal goals you can reach out to me over email:

In this episode I host Olivia, a runner from NYC who will answer our questions about party pace. What party pace, the benefits of running at party pace and how she enjoyed her last race running at party pace.

Over the last years we get more and more data from our running watches. But, do we really need all that data? Do we know what data is important? Or do we tend to look at all of it, over analyzing and not concentrating on what’s really important when it comes to running?
