I say goodbye to 2016 traditionally – with running. Yet again I participated in the Cracow Run New Year’s Eve Run. Besides the regular competition, every year there’s a competition for the best costume and runners’ imagination truly knows no limits there! SHORT REPORT 13th edition of the run gave me additional joy, beside the obvious competition, […]
Sickness is the worst thing that can happen to a runner – you wake up in the morning with a feeling of scratching in the throat or runny nose and you already know what’s coming – a break in training …. and yet it is only a small cold. Maybe you could run it through? Maybe […]
A favorite snack of runners and vegetarians – peanut butter. Available in different flavors, but my favourite is classic – 100% roasted peanuts. And the best thing is that you don’t have to overpay for ready-made butter with unhealthy additives – you can do it yourself in just minutes! WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT Peanut […]
Would you like to change something in your life? Take up exercisign and improve your health? Get in shape and sculpt the body? Maybe lose a few centimeters here and there? Probably you’ve already tried it…if not for this short-lived zeal… And if I told you that there is a way? Even the biggest sluggad may change into a […]
Today I offer you a quick and simple recipe – a spanish tortilla, i.e. omelette with potatoes. In Spain it is supposed to be eaten cold… for me, an omelette must be hot! The tortilla is a great idea for a quick dinner or supper (half a serving). It is a balanced meal rich in carbohydrates, […]
Carbohydrates are very important for us – from them comes the energy needed by our muscles to function properly. It is particularly important for runners and other athletes – but how do we know when to eat? Some products give quick but a short boost of energy while others release it slowly and steadily, giving a feeling of satiety for […]
Pumpkin soup is a typical autumn soup made in thousand different ways. My favorite taste is a slightly spicy cream with ginger and coconut milk – it has a really unique flavour. It’s a magical soup as it disappears before it’s even ready ;-) RECIPE INGREDIENTS (4-5 servings): 1kg pumpkin 1 l vegetable broth (homemade or concentrated) 2 […]
Lasagna is one of my favorite cheat meals, i.e. dishes I serve myself as an exception from my regular diet or a planned meal before the major race. In such a case the large amount of calories (especially carbs) is most welcome. Spinach lasagna is as good a carbo-loading meal as a regenerative meal after […]
A moment ago we were hiding from the heat and cooled ourselves with whatever water we could find, and now the best piece of equipment for a training is… a warm blanket. I dread to think what’d it be when it starts snowing. How to run in winter? Should we run at all? RUN!!! It is said […]
Buckwheat with cottage cheese has that special something. This combination of flavors is really excellent – you need nothing more. Just put it on a plate … or try a little harder and make it a refined dish. For vegans I suggest a green pea puree – equally tasty. And how about preparing both versions at the same […]
I received the recipe for this the omelette from a friend who is a personal trainer. It turned out that this is a great kick of energy in the morning – a large content of complete protein, minderals condensed in the yolk and complex carbohydrates from oats is probably the perfect mix for any athlete. At […]
This is not my original recipe. On the contrary, tortilla pizzas can be found on hundreds of blogs throughout the Internet, with minimal differences (or none at all). Nevertheless, it is so quick and simple recipe that I decided to include it into my collection. As I am quite short and slim, I try to search for dishes […]
There comes a time when we find that the longer ride on carbohydrates made us somehow lose our racing weight. It’s easy to just cut calories, throw out all carbohydrates for a few weeks and chew only lettuce. The trick is to make it in a way that the mere thought of another „ascetic” meal makes you drool! And so, my experiments […]
Coconut milk has a lot of applications. Along with other plant drinks (soy milk, rice milk, oatmeal milk, etc.) it is a very good substitute for cow’s milk for vegans and lactose intolerant people. It has a very characteristic taste, contains from 15% to 25% fat, and – in contrast to cow’s milk – fiber. Coconut […]
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 […]
