It's like sexual violence. Sweden has high rates of sexual crimes only because it's reported more often than in other countries.

I am not sure what this is truly about: ID verification? SM ban? I believe these are two different topics. Once research shows that something has a negative health effects, it has to be limited or regulated. Take alcohol for instance. I believe I am not the only one who drank alcohol before the legal age. So, yes, kids find ways to get around prohibitions. However this is about not letting them drink regularly and become alcoholic.
Would you legalise alcohol at any age?

22 March 2016

At the time I was regularly travelling to Berlin 🇩🇪 for work. From where I live it, is cheaper to fly from Brussels 🇧🇪 and that particular time I decided to sleep at a friend's place the night before in the Belgian capital and catch an early flight.

My flight was scheduled at 8:15. It never left the airport. While I was comfortably seated on the plane with the other passengers, the pilot informed us that there had been two explosions inside the airport.

It's been a while since I last posted one of my workouts and this evening I did a double session.

First, one of my workouts:

🌡️ running 10' ➡️ 1,4 km
🌡️ mobility 10'

x3:
1️⃣ Push-up x5
2️⃣ Banded bird dog 🐕 x10/side
3️⃣ Lat pulldown @ 32 kg x10
4️⃣ Cossack squat + plate slide x5/side
5️⃣ Side-kick through x5/side

At the end of the 3rd round I saw that there weren't many people at the circuit training class, so I did that too.

➡️ Circuit training 1h

Overall 1h 50min.

So I kept it easy and ended up doing a lot of core, even though it's something I typically despise. I guess getting out the fitball from the cellar has this unforeseen side effect 😄

I am happy but it was one of the toughest things I have done.
A quick stop to pee at km 12, then the hardest part was from km 16-19. I alternated walking and running then for the last 2 km I paced myself to a girl who kept it slow and consistent and crossed the FL.

Adidas is headquartered in the US too, despite initially 🇩🇪. Salomon only makes trail shoes. Lotto 🇮🇹, Fila 🇮🇹 and Puma 🇩🇪 are more minimalist.

I'm not feeling confident about the HM. My ultimate plan will now involve:

➡️ long run/week 1x/week

Compared to more recent k-dramas it shows a bit less surgery details. Probably the budget for special effects in collapsing buildings and earthquake destruction didn't leave much room for anything else.

And I don't know exactly what happened but characters in the past were more daring when it comes to romance. I loved the secondary couples and the main couple kiss scene. The ending was disappointing though.

Today I tried to push my aquajogging speed a bit. It's interesting because not every faster movement actually gets me to advance faster and, unlike #running, the body temperature remains low even under effort.

I'm starting to enjoy these water workouts. Too bad the swimming pool will close for two weeks starting from next week.

This morning the soreness and joints stiffness disappeared, however the Achilles tendon is still bothering me. Less than yesterday, but I'm wondering if I should attempt my scheduled run tomorrow or wait another few days.

Curious that I feel the stretch on the tendon less if I land on midfoot compared to forefoot.

#workoutoftheday #running

The heat goes on. Today the temperature will rise to 32°C, so this morning I opted for an easy short run at 24°C.

When it's hot I stick to shaded park alleys and always bring water with electrolytes, even if I only run for 30'.

Week 24, run 3/3🏃‍♀️

I finally did it! 21,1 km and the last 2 were hard 💪🔥.
I kept telling myself that I can't lose face after all the encouraging toots of this amazing community and I won't be as lucky as today with the weather as summer approaches.
So I didn't give up. Slow and steady.

There was a race at the other side if the river, I saw a finish sign and I took it as a good omen at the beginning of my run.

Today I stayed on #bicipolitana n.3, also called "sentiero Laudato Sì del Foglia", because it runs alongside the Foglia river. This #bikeLane isn't as scenic as the ones I posted so far, but it's less crowded. I arrived at the #Palasport and then came back.

This is our last full day of vacation, tomorrow we will fly back home. Beach 🏖️ and cinema 📽️ are on the menu for today.

We weren't sure he would make it, since he's not currently in the international class at primary school and this year has been a difficult one for him. There are issues with his current teacher, who isn't playing it fair either, if you ask me.

Anyway I am super proud of him and I'm buying a cake later to celebrate this evening 🍰!

I had no juice after the 18 km run on Sunday and yesterday's workout. So I kept it easy, including the 5x20s sprints part.

Today we received good news: our eldest son has passed the admission test for the English international class at his future middle school 🎉.

It's a class in French public schools where one subject per semester is taught in English, typically science, history or geography.

I don't know if the app isn't tracking the GPS signal properly anymore or if the #GPS signal quality has degraded (could it mean that we don't use #Starlink anymore ? That would be good news!)

It was a nice run and I finished it at the weekly local market.

I've been steadily keeping a pace of 6:52 for more than 1h, however the last 15' I explored new and still on progress pedestrian paths that were more like elevated trail paths in their actual state. Anyway I'm thrilled because I will have new routes to test soon 🤩🏃‍♀️

11°C and I had to wear a jacket, but the run was quite enjoyable in spite of the wind and a few rain drops.

What's your strategy to pass runners slightly slower than you? People who have a similar pace to yours but still you could go faster if you were in front.

Do you sprint when you're just behind their back or do you accelerate well before and risk that they see you huffing and puffing once in front?

Half marathon training
Week 17, run 2/3

Workout completed today despite occasional bursts of 1-2s knee pain when I land my foot the wrong way.

What I did:
✔️ Switch from midfoot to forefoot stride
✔️ Short stride
✔️ Very slow pace
✔️ Heating patches ensuring a proper warm-up and reducing the intensity of the pain

At 30' from the end I could switch again to a more natural midfoot stride, but it lasted only 10', then I had to switch back to forefoot.

Half marathon training
Week 16, run 1/3

Knee problem is gone 🎉 and I went out for an easy run with my new and first pair of #barefoot #running shoes: the #Xero Aqua X Sport.

From the first strides some differences are striking: overstriding hurts the heel and there's no energy returned because there's no cushioning.

Therefore even being light on your feet is enforced and core engagement is crucial.
I got the hang of it after 20'.

The day ended with #Korean #BBQ 😋

The day didn't go as planned. It's spring school break and the kids are taking each a #swimming class in the morning.

So I played for 1h with my eldest in the small pool while the youngest was taking his class.

At 18 I went #running, but I immediately felt a pain in my left knee that didn't ease up with further strides.

So I gave up, walked back home and applied a heating patch.

I hope everything will be ok for my next run on Thursday 🤞
