❝I reminded myself that I was letting fear drive me into doing something unhealthy. I actually said it out loud so it stuck. I reminded myself that I could keep this stupid cold going on longer if I didn’t let my body heal.

While unpacking my suitcase to divide all stuff between the running pack and the 2 drop bags, I stumbled upon a large brown envelope, filled with beautiful messages of support from my family. 🥰💚

A solitary tear slides down my face. 🥲

❝I used to think [my body] was weak or unable. I now know that anything is possible — sometimes slow, sometimes tired — but I’m here, still moving. I’ve learned to enjoy pushing my limits in a way that feels expansive.

Training begins! 🏔️

I’ve signed up to trek Mount Toubkal in May 2026 — North Africa’s highest peak — to raise funds for Arthur Rank Hospice, who supported our family with incredible care and counselling.

I’ve just made my first donation — now the real work begins.

Hey body?
…Hey body?

You know how we just ran 50 miles overnight? Do you think we could at least try to get a full night’s sleep?

No?
Oh well…

Dear friends,
On Thursday, 3 July, at 08:00, I leave on a great adventure. I am taking part in the Oslo Bergen Trail in Norway.

Along the way there are 8 check points where I can get supplies and possibly sleep. For the rest, I am self-supported. My pack with all the mandatory kit and the necessary food and drink weighs about 9kg.

You can follow me along and maybe post an encouraging message on my personal Ferrett site: ferrett.io/u/teufen/obt500

When I got home and weighed myself, I lost 2+ KG! Funny thing my scale reported my "metabolic age" is now 4 years younger! 😆

This is the first time I ran 50+K on two consecutive Sundays (last Sunday I ran 35.28mi). Next Sunday? Definitely not!

I brought 6 gels and 1.5L electrolyte water. Unfortunately by the 25th mile I drank up all, and had to start walking some of the time to avoid overheating (walk 4min then run at least 5). For a few times I seriously considered asking for some water from bikers, but didn’t. At one point I stopped at a stream and splashed cold mountain water on my head to feel better.

This #LongRunSunday I ran from #SnoqualmiePass southbound on Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail: distance 31.33mi moving time 5:05:18 pace 9’45”/mi. I started at ~9am when temperature was ~63F (17.2C), and by the time I ran past 25th mile mark, it was 74F but felt like 80F (26.7C) under the sun.

❝Do you know why I love the sport of trail running? Because I see people who choose to tackle a challenge just because they feel like it. Nobody forces them. Seeing the first person crossing the finish line is identically impressive as the last.

Es kann nicht genug Geschichten über die sogenannten Golden Hour beim Western States 100-Meiler geben. Insgesamt haben die Läufer*innen 30 Stunden Zeit für diese Distanz. Die Dramen und die Euphorielawinen in den letzten 60 Minuten kurz vor dem Ziel sind einzigartig. #wser #ultrarunning

@mathias has done it: finished Lavaredo 120K 👏🏻🥳

After 29 hours and 33 minutes 😎😎. Crossed the finish line this morning at 04:46 AM 🤠

122 Kilometers ➕ 5932 meters elevation gain ⛰️🐐

Well done Mathias👊🏻. This must have been very hard. Good night 💤 to you (I suppose you are sleeping now 😅🤭😴🥱)

Watching Western States. One of the aspects of the trail running community I appreciate is that the women’s and men’s races are treated equally. The live stream typically keeps two windows open. One for women, one for the men. And the commentators are respecting pronouns.

Well, it's sweltering hot outside, so it's time for another race, right?⁠

This Saturday, we are participating in the Night Howler 50: a 50-mile run through the night. ⁠

It will get dark. ⁠
We may become delirious. ⁠
And, despite the predicted heat, there may also be thunderstorms.⁠

Wish us luck!⁠
