London Note #1

Hello people,

Moving to London turned out to be the most awesome thing I could have ever done in my life – not only from a career point of view. Let me tell you something about my home country. Romania is a beautiful place that was not conquered for centuries because we had strong people that wanted to be united under one flag and one country. The most awful thing that happened to this country was the communism that made us dumb and turned off our connections with the outside world, they made us so depended of them that somehow they managed to do even the thinking for us. Unfortunately we reached that point where now I see people incapable of thinking on their own and incapable to make a decision to change their purpose in this life.

Since I arrived in London I see people that know what they want and they are willing to fight for their dreams until the last breath. Seeing this determination makes me want more for myself. The road to success it is not paved with stones of avoidance – so I should better start working on it.

I feel I am in the center of the world and I am ready to explore it all. Machu Picchu here I come.

A word of advice to you all: Get outside your comfort zone, challenge yourself and I promise you: it will make you feel more alive than the day you were born!

This is note 1 and more will come. Stay tuned!

Moov disappointment

Helo guys,

I have just returned from my run with Moov. It is crap I tell you pure crap. After selecting a program I ran for 2 minutes when it started to say Moov disconnected and then at every 1 / 2 minutes the same. I have started Nike Running up the same time just to keep a record of my distance. But I can tell you the Nike Running up offers the same functionality like this Moov device.

Moov is speaking with you in a awful voice every 1 minute repeating the same text. Swing your arms…and then swing your arms….swing your legs nothing like  in the commercial video.

By the way if you press Getting Started it will open a page in the browser……Seriously is it that hard to add a video in the app and a text to tell you how to use the app. Awful.

OK, now lets be professional about it:

Moov has 4 programs and 46 levels.

  1. Brisk Walk
  2. Running Efficiency
  3. Sprint Intervals (My favorite)
  4. Speed Endurance

What I did today it was Sprint Interval and as a beginner I started with level 1.
