Antwerp 10 miles here I come!

3 weeks ago I decided to run the Antwerp 10 miles. I hadn't really been running this winter, so it will be a bit exiting tomorrow during the race. I ran 12k a few times as a preparation, actually... it was the first time I ever ran more than 10k ;-)

My running technique is based on Chi Running, which makes a huge difference for me personally anyway. Chi Running uses a natural forward falling motion to keep you going. 

I run in a pair of Vibram Fivefingers (KSOs), also a great help for good running technique and good contact with the ground. I ordered a pair of Spyridons but they have not arrived yet ;-) 

I ate very light this week, with a lot of salads and fruits. I plan to eat a salad about 2h before the race and then a banana and some figs... hopefully that will keep me totally going. I also have some delicious coconut water to refuel me afterwards... 

Read you soon!
