We did it! Marathoners x4 ❤️

Two different races, one shared finish line.

This morning at the Paris Marathon, we ran side by side… in spirit (and at very different paces 😅).

✨ 3:35:52 — a new PB for me
✨ 3:35:07 — a day of pure grit for Julien

Not every race goes to plan. At km32, Julien had to stop and empty everything his body had left 🤮… and somehow still found the strength to keep going, pushing through the hardest miles with an empty tank.

On my side, from km35 to the finish, I had the best support I could ask for—my brother-in-law stepping in as a pacer and lifting me when it mattered most. That final stretch will stay with me forever.

And none of this would be possible without our incredible support crew ❤️

Family and friends who came to cheer, who sent messages, who looked after our kids so we could chase this crazy goal… this finish line is yours too.

That’s what this sport teaches us: resilience, humility, and the power of people around you.

So proud of us, of this journey, and of crossing that finish line
(almost) together 🖤

The pace is ours. Always.

September, from our camera roll ☁️

Back on the track, slowly finding our rhythm again, a little Paris in between and obviously a few good things to eat.

A month that felt a lot like us. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

Slowly finding my legs again…

Brunch is always a good idea @devotionscafe

You don’t need a Monday, a new month or a new year. You just need a first step.

And that first step can be slow. 🤍

There’s apparently a 3-day window when runners are happy with the weather.

You don’t need to feel motivated. You just need to start.

Save this for the next day you don’t feel like running. 🤍

And yes — some days, rest is exactly what you need.

Running a marathon might be the easy part 😂

Truth is, we’re incredibly lucky. 🤍
Having two parents who love running (and occasionally decide to run the same marathon 😅) takes some serious logistics.

But we have amazing grandparents, family and friends who are always there to help with the kids and make all those training runs and race days possible.

It really does take a village — and we’re very grateful for ours. 🫶

Anyone else relying on their village to make the running life happen? 😂

Plot twist: we both have full-time jobs. We just make running look like one too. 😂

Freeze, break into pieces… and try not to eat the whole batch at once 😅

Save this for your next sweet craving & send it to your running buddy who would demolish this with you.

All summer we kept wondering the same thing:

Why does our usual pace suddenly feel SO hard? 🥵

Slower runs. Higher heart rate. Way more effort. And a lot of questioning our fitness 😂

Turns out, those sweaty summer miles weren’t wasted.

While we were busy complaining about the heat, our bodies were busy adapting. And now we’re very ready to see if all that summer running pays off when the temperatures finally drop. 👀

So if your summer pace humbled you too… don’t judge it too hard.

Those miles still counted. 💛

Now can we please have 12°C and no wind? 😅

Running was supposed to be our stress relief.

Now we stress about pace, mileage, recovery, injuries, race goals… and whether Garmin agrees with any of it. 😂

But sure, very relaxing hobby. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

RUNNER’S KITCHEN #01 🍞

Apparently running a lot also means being hungry… a lot. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

So we’re starting a new little series: Runner’s Kitchen 🤍

First up: this super easy high-protein bread — perfect for breakfast, post-run, or basically whenever hunger hits.

You’ll need:
🥣 300g Skyr (10.6 oz)
🥚 2 eggs
🌾 250g oats (8.8 oz)
🌰 Walnuts + pumpkin/sunflower seeds
🧂 A pinch of salt

Mix everything together, shape into a loaf, add a few cuts on top and bake at 180°C / 350°F for 45 min.

Simple, filling & SO good. 🤍

Save this one for later & let us know if you try it!
