      <image:title>The Diary - Runner Chronicles: Leo Adame - For the body, consistency is key. I’ve found that sticking to routines—like warming up properly, fueling well, and dressing for the weather—takes the guesswork out of running. On cold days, good gear makes all the difference. A warm hat, gloves, and layers that breathe can turn a miserable run into a manageable one. One of the hardest times to show up for me was after a disappointing race. My confidence was shaken, and I questioned if it was worth it. But running isn’t just about the good days—it’s about resilience. I reminded myself that growth comes from discomfort, laced up, and started again. Every step felt like reclaiming my love for the sport. Ultimately, showing up is about commitment, not perfection. Some days are magic, others are a grind, but every run adds to the foundation. And when you look back, those tough days are often the ones that mean the most.</image:title>

      <image:title>The Diary - Runner Chronicles: Daniel Abrasowicz - Running with a group became more than just physical effort. It was motivation – sometimes, when I didn’t feel like getting up early for training, all I had to do was think that 20 other people were facing the same problem but would still show up. That gave me energy. And although I don’t always feel like running with a group, I know that running gives me the freedom to choose. Sometimes I run solo, sometimes in a crowd. No one judges my choices. That’s what I love about this sport – it gives me the space to be myself, to decide how I want to experience each day. I believe that anyone who’s been running for more than a month should try to find a running club in their city, even if they only show up once in a while. Running together is more than just training – it’s a sense of belonging to something bigger, something that’s not only physical, but mental as well. It adds meaning to my runs and makes every kilometer feel more valuable. If you have the chance to join such a group, why not give it a try? Sometimes in life, it’s worth stepping out of your comfort zone and seeing what new experiences can bring. Running, in a way, has taught me more than just how to push through physical limits. It’s shown me the importance of consistency, patience, and the value of small victories along the way. Whether it’s shaving a few seconds off my time, running a new distance, or simply getting out there when I didn’t feel like it – every step has been a reminder that growth, both in running and in life, happens little by little. And the best part? It’s not just about crossing the finish line, but about the people you meet, the conversations you have along the way, and the sense of belonging that comes with it. It’s a journey, not just of miles, but of personal discovery.</image:title>

      <image:title>The Diary - Runner Chronicles: Bene Detsch - Other than that, there’s no magic. You don’t need fancy gadgets or gear. Just go out, enjoy nature, and don’t compare yourself to others. Running is your journey, so focus on having fun and improving at your own pace. I know I talked a lot about racing because that’s how I enjoy running. I love to train for races, plan everything, and when I make it through, it’s one of the best feelings. I’m no professional athlete, but I’m also not “only” an amateur. I feel like I’m somewhere in between—or, to put it simply, I’m just Bene, who loves to run and share his journey on social media. I don’t want to show off that I can run well; I just want to inspire people to go outside and enjoy the beauty of our world. But that’s just my running journey. Everyone’s journey is different, and we all write our own chapters. Keep writing your stories, and of course, KEEP ON RUNNING!</image:title>

      <image:title>The Diary - Runner Chronicles: Gordon Clark - For our next Runner Chronicles, we’re thrilled to introduce Gordon Clark, an LA-based runner with a refreshingly dynamic take on the sport. Known for his love of non-traditional races, Gordon views running as far more than a competitive pursuit—it’s a journey of exploration, connection, and self-discovery. Running has become a way of life for Gordon, and we couldn’t be more excited to share his unique perspective. He approaches the road (and trail) with a mindset that values personal growth over numbers, emphasizing the importance of listening to your body and embracing the highs and lows of the journey. Open about the challenges he’s faced, Gordon’s stories resonate with runners at every level. After having contact with Gordon, we believe he offers insights that could make anyone a better runner—not by improving their stats but by deepening their connection to the sport. As always, we asked our questions, and Gordon delivered like no other. The result? A Runner Chronicles edition packed with lessons, inspiration, and a fresh lens on what running can mean.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Image: Tyler Mccain So this race is super special for me for a number of reasons. You definitely don’t feel like you’re racing. You’re surviving, living with singular purpose. You’re orienteering. You’re battling elements, surprises (police, checkpoints, lightning strikes, sand-stuck vehicles), personalities, cell reception, haha. But there’s something special about that finish line, the afterparty. It’s a global fraternity, runners from every stretch of the planet; zero ego, just big smiles, a “Can you fucking believe we did that?!” look in their eyes, and a load of stories that only really make sense to the participants. I feel like a kid out there. But at the same time, super adult having just negotiated 8-10 humans 300+ miles across some exotic terrain.  I think I’ve clocked 10+ TSP’s at this point and I feel more invested than ever. I see myself a bit of an ambassador for this race and what Nils and company have pulled together. I want people on a team of mine to go back to their local scene and talk about it, brag about, excite others to think about jumping in headlong. To challenge what it means to “race”, to run and be present, mindful of something more than your splits.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Diary - Runner Chronicles: Gordon Clark - Current running scene: I could really go wild here, I’ve always enjoyed this kinda shop talk. The boom of clubs, the money that’s entered the game, the cool factor lifestyle runners represent and have right now. The scene is showing out hard in all the peacock-y  ways. Because ultimately it means new entrants. New entrants with different athletic pasts. Different proclivities. Stir the pot, shake up what’s been, I love it all. But probably the thing I’m tracking most right now in our growing space: the fashion, the lifestyle and how it’s gone mainstream. It’s hotfire to be a fucking runner right now. Just you hitting your city streets, opening up, bopping along, it inspires, or at least can inspire, who knows how many people around you. That person that’s been run-curious, has needed to make a life-change, is worried about looking weird. You might just show them something they can aspire to be. So when I say fashion I don’t mean Paris Fashion Week, I just mean this crossover into street fashion, athleisure. I heard Nils (TSP founder) talking about how he saw someone on IG the other day just walking through NYC when they saw someone with a Speed Project hat. They snapped a clandestine pic and put in their story, “I don’t know you, but I know what you did.” IDK, I feel like that kinda fits my attitude about the scene right now.</image:title>

      <image:title>The Diary - Run Club Chronicles: Off Track Association - The Run Club Chronicles with Off Track Association, a dynamic collective of runners who are located in Annecy and Paris. Founded in August 2023 where they quickly became a big group of enthousiast runners. With breathtaking landscapes they make miles like no other. Off Track Association was founded by three friends with the same vision: promoting sports around them, partly for health and partly for the euphoric feeling it brings. Epicureans at heart, athletes in spirit, like they said themselves, they created Off Track to multiply moments of sharing. Running without pressure, results, or performance goals—for the exploration of the body and trails, always in good company. Their core values - sharing, exploring and diversity. This way they create a creative space for individuals with the same goals in mind. All athletes are welcome, from all levels. We got in contact with them and here is what they had to say for this edition of the Run Club Chronicles!</image:title>

      <image:title>The Diary - Run Club Chronicles: Overland Running Provisions - How do you stay motivated, especially during the off-season or in challenging weather?</image:title>
      <image:caption>In fact, we don’t change our routine during the off-season. The only secret is loving what you do and staying consistent with training. We believe running in a group helps keep everyone motivated and ensures that no one abandons the path toward their personal goals. On the other hand, Girona doesn’t get too cold in the winter, but on those difficult days, we plan runs an hour later so people can still join without regretting the cold.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Diary - Runner Chronicles: Rasmus Boldvig Rottwitt - Rasmus Boldvig Rottwitt: a Danish runner you simply can’t overlook. Hailing from Copenhagen, he’s a core member of NBRO, one of Denmark’s most exciting and dynamic running teams, where the vibe is all about community, commitment, and having a great time on the road. Rasmus has built an impressive running journey that not only reflects his dedication to the sport but also will inspires others to push their limits.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We wanted to dig a little deeper into Rasmus’s story: where did this journey begin, and what’s kept him so driven? Curious about his beginnings and what fuels his commitment, we asked Rasmus some questions. Here’s what he had to say. I remember crossing the bridge near the finish line with my cousin and being yelled at by some old dude: “WE DONT WALK HERE”! Image: Marc Iversen</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Diary - Runner Chronicles: Rasmus Boldvig Rottwitt - Which moment in your running journey has stayed with you? Running the Athens Marathon with my dad is a memory that will always stay with me. It was such an amazing experience, both for our family and for the scenic, historic route. I’ll never forget being handed olive branches while pushing through the hill starting at kilometer 10 and ending at kilometer 31, thinking the pain was over, just to be hurting for 10km down hill. Also after crossing the finish line, just breaking down in tears—partly from exhaustion and partly from the overwhelming emotions. I was still relatively new to running, so it felt like an out-of-body experience. It’s one I’ll carry with me forever.</image:title>

      <image:title>The Diary - Run Club Chronicles : Go Fast - For this Run Club series, we connected with Go Fast, a vibrant women-powered running community based in Lyon, France. Go Fast combines the benefits of wellness and running, creating a safe and welcoming space for runners of all levels. More than just a running club, Go Fast is a movement with purpose, aiming to inspire and empower more women to embrace running as part of a healthy lifestyle. Their mission goes beyond physical fitness; it's about fostering confidence, building connections, and promoting mental well-being. We were eager to learn more about their story and, most importantly, their "why."</image:title>

      <image:title>The Diary - Run Club Chronicles : Go Fast - Two years ago, when I started running and participated in my first road races and trail runs of over 20 km, I noticed a clear underrepresentation of women at the starting lines. Talking with other women, I realized that many of them, myself included, felt a deep sense of illegitimacy. However, for me, running has been a source of well-being and self-confidence, and it felt unfair that others might feel less legitimate in pursuing this sport. I also noticed the predominance of running communities and clubs that were often male-dominated and far from gender-balanced. Having experience in team sports, with competitive handball, I know the positive impact that a supportive group can have on individuals. So, why not create our own space in this world? That’s how Go Fast was born—a community of women runners, a space where we come together, train, and support each other. Our goal: to break through barriers, go further, go faster, but most importantly, to run with greater confidence. Picture by: Matthias Carpentier</image:title>
