Another heel problem   In October 2020, I suddenly got soreness in my left heel. It was not on the tread itself, but on the inside of the heel. I tried to run away from me for a while and hoped it would pass, but it did not happen, I then found that I could […]

The miraculous marathon   Saturday morning, June 28, it was still crazy. It was completely surreal to think of a marathon within the next 24 hours. When I had bought the start number, as well as the bus and ferry ticket for the trip. I decided to leave but was not at all sure if […]

It happened again   In 2014, it went crazy again. Then not in the heel, but in my whole right foot. In 2010 I had fallen in love with the Sunrise Marathon on the idyllic Bornholm. The name of the race is telling as it starts in the dark and ends in the morning. The […]

Like a thief in the night   In the spring of 2021, heel pain hit me quite unexpectedly. It came like a thief in the night. It was just the night of April 9th. I was not the first in history to have woken up to something unpleasant on this very day. Here I am […]
