LONGEVITY MARATHON · SPORT + RESEARCH
LONGEVITY MARATHON PROJECT
I consider marathon running as an integral part of my professional and research work — a healthy marathon build-up is fully compatible with a longevity mindset and lifestyle.

PILLARS OF THE LONGEVITY MARATHON PROJECT
What works in marathon training is, more or less, exactly what works in healthy ageing. My training rests on these pillars, built on the fundamentals of lifestyle medicine — I've been measuring and documenting them since I started running.
Strength, mobility, cross-training
Running volume alone isn't enough: strength, mobility and cross-training keep joints resilient, protect against injury, and ultimately decide how long you can stay active.
Nutrition, microbiome, blood glucose
Mindful nutrition, microbiome balance and blood glucose monitoring (CGM) — the foundation of energy supply and recovery, which I continuously measure and refine.
Stress management (HRV)
HRV-based measurements track the balance between load and recovery — signalling when to push, and when to pull back.
Running festivals and community
Group training and running festivals aren't just motivating: social connection itself is proven to add years to a healthy life.
All of the above essentially build on the pillars of lifestyle medicine.
That's why I call my marathon build-up a longevity marathon project: it's least about chasing time, and far more about the fact that the time invested in marathon preparation — while considerable — will return even more healthy years of life.
The balance is positive. The only question is how many months, years, or decades it can add to our healthy lifespan.
