It's already the last run of 2025, the Linschotenloop. It's the last Saturday before Christmas and the weather is perfect for it. It's a cold day with a light drizzle. Personally, I think this is ideal running weather. Five ING Runners signed up for the run, but in the end unfortunately only three started. At 11:45 a.m., Marco and I set off for the 10 km. It's a beautiful run through the polder, past Woerden and back to Linschoten. A wonderful crowd cheers on all the runners with great enthusiasm. At 1:45 p.m. Paul set off for the 21 km, which must also have been a beautiful run.

This run marks the end of a sporty 2025. Onward to 2026, with new goals, fresh energy, and hopefully just as many wonderful moments.

Paul Nijveldt 1:38:02    21 km

I would like to thank the ING Runners Board, Federico Calore, Bas Commandeur, and Hanna de Jong for their dedication and for organizing everything related to the ING Runners.
Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous 2026.
