I wanted to cheer on every runner at Amsterdam marathon.. from the lead runners, to the last runners. ..and I wanted to do it in a banana suit while playing disco music.. because.. well, why not?! The problem is that the place I want to cheer people on the course is a half marathon away. Sure, I could take the car ..or I could bike there But I want to run there. so.. half marathon there cheer for 3 hours and then a half marathon back I'm running a FULL MARATHON to support an ENTIRE MARATHON! Here's how it went Thanks for reading and watching Follow me on Instagram on the day to see how I get on www.instagram.com/wayeoflife But I'll also make a video of the races too for YouTube All my sponsors are here www.wayeoflife.com/sponsors They don't pay me. but they gift me my gear.

the idea was simple.. Brooks Running Benelux invited their ambassadors out to the La Chouffe Trail race weekend in Belgium. https://www.passionforsports.eu/nl-la-chouffe-trail we could sign up for which ever race we wanted to.. so I opted for the 69km trail race in the Saturday and then also the 10km trail on the Sunday. but me, being me, decided the make it harder yep.. I plogged during the race .. in a banana suit .. and a tutu oh.. and it was above 39deg C enjoy!
