And here it is; Luzern Marathon day. It’s a nice route along the lake but the unfortunate part is that the full marathon has a turn point which means you must run the same course twice. A bit demotivating but I suppose once you make that turn you know exactly how much further to go […]

There is a lot of excitement and anticipation every year for the Luzern marathon. And every year I tell myself that I should prepare to enter the following year.
