New marathon PB at the Tokyo Marathon. Sub-3? Not today — not ready yet.
But progress is real. Third star of the World Marathon Majors collected ⭐️ #TokyoMarathon #WWM #MarathonPB #RoadToSub3

Istanbul → New York.
After a rough journey, I had just enough left for a evening walk through Forest Park near our place. Finally here. Legs will run tomorrow. 🗽 #Running #NYCMarathon #RunningTravel #NewYork #RunningLife

Home turf won't let me go. 😄
Two cancelled flights, third attempt today. Meanwhile, exploring the neighborhoods around airline hotels.
Easy run to lift the mood. 🏃 #Running #EasyRun #RunningTravel #NYCMarathon #RunningLife

The picture is deceptive — a north wind and temps near 0°C. 🍂 #Running #RecoveryRun #EasyRun #NatureRunning #NYCMarathon #RunningLife

Marathon build. 10 km tempo, actual pace 4:02. Bright northern autumn sun is deceptive — barely above 2°C this morning, and a north wind made it feel colder.
But the pace kept the body warm. 🏃 #Running #TempoRun #NYCMarathon #MarathonTraining #RunningLife

Easy run and strides.
Caught an autumn rainbow — pure beauty. #Running #EasyRun #Strides #NatureRunning #NYCMarathon #RunningLife
