Five Things Running: Issue #37
I miss running. Post COVID-19 fatigue sucks.
This whole post COVID-19 thing is starting to annoy me. I went running four days in a row and then my Oura ring basically told me to stop it as my pulse is still too high. I guess the smart thing is to listen to my ring. Hrmpf.
And just a quick reminder - if you love reading about running, go read this book: Runhundred
Make sure to pre-order Runhundred now! Christmas is around the corner and right now some cool bundles with great-looking t-shirts are also available! It might be a bit cold in a t-shirt outside right now, but spring is basically around the corner!

How the Turkey Trot Became the Most Popular Race in America
In Germany we don’t do Turkey Trots as we don’t do Thanksgiving, but people like to do runs on New Year’s Day here. Or swimming in the North Sea or Baltic Sea on New Year’s Day. I think I’d rather go running on Thanksgiving.
That’s all for now!
Thank you for reading Five Things Running. This post is public so feel free to share it.
