Running #

I enjoy long distance running in my free time, and my favorite distance is the half-marathon. My half-marathon PB is 1:28:04, which I ran in the Leiden Marathon 2025.

If you’re interested in training to get faster, I recommend reading Jack Daniels’ Daniels’ Running Formula and Pete Pfitzinger’s Faster Road Racing and Advanced Marathoning to learn about the different components that go into structuring training plans.

Speedcubing #

I used to be very involved in the competitive speedcubing community. My favorite and best event was the Megaminx, a 12-sided Rubik’s Cube-like puzzle which I can solve in 30 seconds. In my prime, I was ranked 9th in the world and placed similarly at the World Championships. I’ve also won a national championship title and set some national records in the process.
