2 week running challenge professional#

Our running trainer taught us: “Anything can happen on D-day – so be prepared!”. But still, this effort of preparation for a firm’s team building event? I had never heard of that before and was consequently quite impressed! After some initial classification into various groups according to our fitness levels, we soon started with workouts early in the morning or evening, comprising basic running ABC techniques and full-fledged interval runs. Yes, considering the fact that MP – as in the nature of a leading M&A advisory – plans everything holistically and to the smallest detail, I should not have been surprised.

Ahead of the race, we would complete a thorough training plan spanning over several months, including regular workouts as well as tips and tricks from a professional running coach. Running along the mesmerizing canals of Amsterdam with my fellow team members? Of course, I was in! So far, so good. In one of our team meetings, our COO Nikoline told us about this new challenge – A running challenge that reached its peak at the TCS Amsterdam Marathon. Let’s go back in time and start in March. Therefore, I would like to share my impressions from the beginning to the end of this inspiring challenge in this blog article. But what actually came with this challenge was a much more rewarding experience!

Yeah, you may think it is as simple as that. I flew there with my team, drank a coffee, ran a half-marathon in my desired time – below 2 hours – and achieved my goal. Mid of October I participated in MP’s Running challenge in Amsterdam.
