Describe your best marathon memory.
|
The first time Rotterdam Marathon when I was 17,5 years old. (my first marathon) The energy from the supporters and the feeling when I reach the finish-line was indescribably. |
||
|
Why do you pace?
|
Because I like to help other athletes to reach there goal and motivate them during the race. So they only have to follow, run and enjoy. |
||
|
Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
Two years ago in Rotterdam, pacing 4 hours and 20 min. and finish in 4:19:50. And see the happy faces behind me when they reach there goal. |
||
|
Why should someone run in your pace group?
|
They van count on a steady pace and support during the race, so they van enjoy and only follow without watching the time every km. |

|
Any tips for runners about to join your group?
|
Just stay behind me and drink and eat enough during the race. |
