Moinsen, everyone! 👋

I’m Tim Teege (Teesche), a long-distance runner, writer, and podcaster.

I’ve finished all 28 EU capital marathons, maxed out at 2:55 hours, and stand at 5 of 7 World Marathon Majors.

My current projects include a 1,356 day running streak, 12 marathons and 12 books in 2025, 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.
