TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2026

I'm running against cancer during TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2026

Last year I ran the Amsterdam Marathon for KiKa. This year, I’m running again, but for a different cause that has become much more personal.

A good friend of mine is recovering from a bone marrow transplant after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Seeing from close by what he and his family have been going through has made cancer research feel a lot less abstract. 

So this year I’ll be running the Amsterdam Marathon for KWF, to create a better life with and after cancer. The 42.2K are mine to do. If you’d like to help make them count for something more, I’d really appreciate your support.

25K test done

Thursday 17th Sep 2026

I was a bit nervous about this one. Although I recently ran 23K with 1,200 meters of elevation in Norway, Friday’s 16K didn’t feel particularly easy.

My Copilot run coach called this 25K an important test to see where I stand and whether my target marathon pace is coming within reach. The plan was simple: run the first 18K easy at around 6:00/km, pick it up to around 5:45/km until 22K, and only if everything still felt good, finish the last 3K around 5:30/km.

It felt great. I was able to pick up the pace exactly as planned and finished feeling strong. Even better, today, on my birthday, my legs feel good.

Another big step towards Amsterdam. And an extra reminder of why I’m doing all these kilometers: raising money for KWF and cancer research. 

New Target Amount

Monday 14th Sep 2026

Due to the overwhelming generosity, the initial target amount was achieved within a day. With 34 days (and 12 runs)  to go, I raised the bar to 2 622 euro (any idee what that number is ?)

First big test coming up

Monday 14th Sep 2026

I decided to run the marathon after running 23 KM in the Norwegian Trollheimen Hills at the end of August. After recovering from the trail run, I am now building up endurance with 1 6KM run last Friday, which was not as easy as I hoped for. The real fist test is Wednesday when I need to run a 25KM with acceleration in speed at the end. Will keep you posted on progress.
