Two months after crossing the finish line at Ironman Copenhagen, I told myself I’d earned a lazy break. And I took it — a little too seriously. For weeks, my running shoes sat untouched by the door, silently judging me. I knew Amsterdam Marathon was coming, but somehow the thought of another long training run just didn’t spark that same fire.

Still, something about Amsterdam kept calling. Maybe it was the magic of a city built on water, or maybe it was the significance of this particular year — the 50th anniversary of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon and 750 years since the city’s founding. This wasn’t just another race; it was history in motion. I decided to show up, no pressure, no goal time — just to run, to feel, to celebrate.

The Ironman Copenhagen 2025 is an exhilarating event, attracting athletes and spectators from around the globe. Known for its scenic routes and supportive crowds, Copenhagen offers a unique blend of natural beauty and urban charm that makes it a favourite among triathlon enthusiasts. 

Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can be a game-changer when it comes to improving athletic performance. The energy and motivation derived from a supportive group are invaluable and can significantly enhance one's drive to succeed. Whether you're a professional athlete or a fitness enthusiast, the community you build around you can propel you toward achieving your goals.
