European Team Championships 5000m

Today I participated in the 5000m for the Netherlands at the European Team Championships in Lille, France. Because the French like to have their dinners late, we have to wait another hour before our hotel serves food, which gives me some time to ...

2 Regional Qualifiers in the pocket

In my last blog, in which I wrote about my 1500m seasons-opener in Stanford, I voiced the hope that I would get in better and better shape each week. That seems to be exactly what is happening! Two weeks ago, I qualified for Regionals in the 1500m ...

Stanford Invitational 1500m - first outdoormeet

''Control what you can control'' & ''focus on the process''. Those are two things I have had to repeat to myself over and over in the past months. I cannot control how fast (or slow...) my body is getting back in shape after my hip-injury during the ...

Race-time!

In the Netherlands I was never a great fan of the indoor-season. With the cross country-season and the indoor-season coinciding, I usually chose for cross country. Also, with my long legs, the tiny 200m banked track in Apeldoorn was not ideal. But ...

Back running!

This morning, while most of my teammates were stepping on the charter bus to Seattle and are getting ready for their indoor-races this weekend, I struggled through a 70 minutes run that was barely under 8min/mile, thanks to an extremely sore body. ...

Pilots 22nd at Nationals

The 2016 XC-season is over, and with that, my last XC-season as a Pilot has come to an end. No better way to end it than with a solid performance at Nationals. Of course I can’t be completely satisfied with finishing 111th (83rd if you get rid of ...

Pilots grab conference-title in epic battle!

I am sitting in the plane that is bringing us back from San Diego to Portland, which gives me some time to reflect on an extremely emotional morning. We FREAKING WON THE CONFERENCE-TITLE. For the first time since 2008, the Women Pilots are taking ...

Pilots 4th at Pre-Nationals

After a successful meet at the Roy Griak Invitational we took it relatively easy for about a week before having a very, very solid training-week with a 14 mile fast, hilly long run; a 6x1mile workout; and 5x1000m on the track. Before we knew it, ...

Pilots sweep Roy Griak Invite!

I don’t even know where to start. This Saturday my team had a breakthrough-race, and I had a breakthrough individually. The Roy Griak Invitational is a very competitive meet, and the Pilots were able to win it all. I knew for months that we ...

Seasonsopener

2 weeks ago, I told you about my summer adventures. In the meantime, a lot has happened: school started (boohh), racing started (yeah!), family visited (more yeah!!) and I logged another 160 or so miles with some good workouts & long runs in there. ...

Summer Recap!

With the start of a new semester, it is about time for an update about my summer and the start of the season! On Monday I had the first classes of my last fall semester at UP. This was both sad and exciting; sad because it meant the end of another ...

The Tempo

This week, I want to talk a little bit about one of the workouts that I have been doing a lot during my time here in Portland: The Tempo. It is a workout we usually do in preparation for cross country, but we did one last Tuesday too, in preparation ...

Recovery Week

As promised, here a little recap of my first week of training towards the 10k in Stanford, 4 weeks from now. It is important to start a new cycle completely fresh and ready to go, so instead of seeing it as the first week of training towards ...

No more 'What If's': On to Outdoors!

My last blog is from a few weeks ago, and in the meantime I have had 2 more races and completed my indoor season. Usually when I don’t write anything after a race, it's probably bad news. It’s hard to write a blog about a race in which you made ...

Not what I wanted, but I learned my lesson!

2 weeks after my win in the mile I was back in Seattle yesterday for the 3000 meters. This may be my favorite event, and after putting in a lot of work over the last months I was very excited to see what I could do. I felt like I was in PR-shape and ...

I won!

Well, that might not be the most intelligent blogpost-title ever, but it pretty much sums up my race yesterday. I had to wait for this win a long time, almost 4 years, but better late then never. It's kind of funny that when I raced back in the ...

A quick update

I haven't written a blog post for a while, and that is because I don't have many interesting stories to tell you. As I wrote in my last blog, I have to 'sit out' this cross country season so that I can run for UP next year. Luckily, this doesn't ...

XC-season has started - but not for me!

Now that the track season is over, it's time to gear up for a new season. I am really happy with how my track season went, because for the first time since running for Portland I significantly lowered my 1500 & 3km PB's, as well as improving in the ...

Crazy Week

Last week was absolutely crazy. On Saturday I ran a 1500m-race in a very strong field in Leiden. I was very excited to race another race in front of my ‘home crowd’, with my parents, uncle and aunt, and friends there. Unfortunately right from ...

Portland, Oregon, USA!

Ik ga in Portland heel veel hardlopen, en vooruit, ook nog een beetje studeren ;). Het lijkt perfect om mijn sport met studie te combineren. Zo heb ik alle mogelijkheden om te kijken hoe ver ik met hardlopen kan komen!
