Moinsen, everyone! 👋

I’m Tim Teege a.k.a. Teesche and I write and podcast about long-distance running and books.

I’ve finished all 28 EU capital marathons, maxed out at 2:58 hours, and stand at 5 of 6 World Marathon Majors.

My current projects include a 1,055 day running streak, 20 marathons and 20 books in 2024, as well as qualifying for the Western States 100 Endurance Run.

  • Great article! I've read so many long blogs only to get bored in the middle as I suffer terribly from ADD and move on to other things. Yours has been one of few that held my attention all the way to the end.
