Protein pancakes

Another recipe I want to share with you is „protein pancakes” – brilliant and simple breakfast providing everything you need for breakfast. The flavour depends on available protein supplement (it can be neutral as well – in that case use your favourite spices – eg. Cinnamon, ginger, cocoa, etc.). Pancakes are delicious on their own, but you might as well […]

Your training plan in 6 steps

You’ve been running for some time now and you have colected a bunch of kilometers. At the beginning, each additional kilometer gave you great satisfaction – the lengthening distance you could cover, running was easier and easier. At certain point, however, a boredom appeared, hasn’t it? Each workout seemed identical to the previous one, week after week the same thing and […]

Protein waffles

Until recently, I kept as far from waffles as I could. High-calorie, only simple carbs, oil, with whipped cream (obviously) and a ton of sugar. But I found a blog Poranne inspiracje by Sylwia Fojcik. There, I found repository of inspirations for delicious breakfasts. And most importantly – the recipes are quick, simple and nutritionally perfect. They are also the […]

Theoretically, we all know that we should rehydrate – even more important for athletes. But in practice it’s not so obvious anymore – we often disregard this issue.

Going NUTS with heart-healthy fats

I love nuts in every form. This is one of the healthier snacks – a great „emergency” meal in travel, when the only alternative is some fast food. They are caloric, but if you can limit yourself to a handful, they’ll repay a hundred times with the wealth of health properties. Nuts are very popular in the diet of […]

Monthly summary – November

Earlier this month I developed a plan of goals for 2016. They are ambitious, and only after the first test runs in December (I plan a 10 km and half-marathon test) will I see how realistic they are.

Royal Bay EXTREME – compression calf sleeves review

Compression stormed the sportswear market and overwhelmed it. There is virtually no element of runner’s clothing that would not be available in a compression version. We can „press” ourselves from head to toe. It sounds a little unnatural. How does the compression work and what we gain by using it? Is it any good at […]

I fell in love with Pad Thai when my fiancee took me to Thai restaurant Samui in Cracow. In fact, it was the beginning of my fascination of the entire Thai cuisine. It is full of fragrant spices with tons of  healing properties. Pad Thai has a very rich taste and contitutes a compound meal supplying everything we need: carbohydrates […]

Avocado is considered a superfood and can be very beneficial for our health. We reach for this butter fruit more eagerly every day.

How to warm up before running

If you were to take your brand new super fast lamborghini on a ride, would you step on the gas from the beginning, with the engine still cold, or would you rather let it warm up a bit? The same applies to your body. You can exploit it many times without proper warm-up and you […]

Brooks Cascadia 10 – review

It was only street running for me – until this year. Then something switched in my head and I decided to explore new paths (literally) and I started looking for good trail running shoes.
