It’s been a while since my first ultra marathon – 100km with my boys lukasmuelr and domi.hmn. Back then, we had no clue what we were doing. Just pure curiosity, friendship, and the question: “Can we actually do this?”

That run shifted something in me. I started seeing running not just as a sport, but as a mindset.

Last year, my health hit me hard. I was constantly battling setbacks and had to pause more than I wanted. Slowly, I’ve been getting back into it – and a few days ago I thought: why not try 50km again?

I knew it wasn’t the smartest idea. No real prep. No build-up. But I needed to prove something to myself. And let’s be honest – if we only made smart decisions, life would be boring as hell.

So I went out. No race, no pressure. Just me, the road, and a little fire inside telling me I’m not at zero – just not at 100% right now. And that’s more than enough to move.

Also – since I’ve been doing most of my runs outdoors again, I’ve been testing the new Shokz OpenRun Pro 2. Running with music while staying fully aware of my surroundings is such a game changer. The open-ear design genuinely makes long runs feel safer and more connected.

If you train outside, give these a shot – you’ll be surprised.
