					<description><![CDATA[»Dump the first espresso of the day.« That was the advice, I saw in a reel the other day. A guy standing in a spotless kitchen, speaking with quiet authority. No drama, no irony. Just a clean instruction. Even if you single dose. Even if you weigh your beans to the tenth of a gram. The coffee sitting in the dead space of the grinder overnight will have oxidized. It will dull the shot. It is not worth drinking. My first reaction was not technical curiosity. It was a quiet sense of loss. Imagine starting your morning by pouring something warm and carefully prepared straight into the sink. A small ritual of control disguised as refinement. I thought: I would not even taste it. But maybe that is the point. Probably some people really can. There are palates that register the faint stale edge from yesterday’s grounds. People who notice when brightness turns flat by a margin most of us glide past. The same goes for sound, for smell, for texture. Some hear the subtle &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The first time I read about Before the Coffee Gets Cold, I was sitting in a café not unlike the one in the book — quiet, a little narrow, the kind of place where time seems to gather rather than pass. Outside, the city was still in its morning hurry, but inside there was only the soft hum of the espresso machine and the faint clatter of cups. In Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s novel, a small Tokyo back-alley café offers more than simply excellent coffee; it offers its customers a single, improbable gift: the chance to travel back in time. There are rules, of course — but the most important is this: you must return before your cup of coffee goes cold. It’s an idea so simple it feels like it must already have existed somewhere in us. The limit isn’t magical, it’s human. Warmth doesn’t last forever. Attention, patience, connection — none of them do. Reading it, I realised how much of my own life revolves around managing time instead of living inside it. I run &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When it comes to running, the years of the COVID-19 pandemic were actually pretty good for me. Not that I enjoyed the lockdowns, and I don’t want to downplay the suffering of so many people and the consequences. But when it comes to the flexibility of work and the rise of remote work, I have to say, all of that had a positive impact on my training. I could run more regularly, be more flexible, and, as a result, more consistent. H owever, what followed in 2023 can only be described as a hangover. Waking up from the era of COVID was painful. I had set some goals for myself — a half marathon to start, a trail marathon, a couple of smaller runs, and aiming to beat my personal best time in Frankfurt. But I didn’t manage to complete a single one of these races. COVID itself, my Achilles tendon, and a fall that strained the tendon in my left arm all put a damper on my plans. While I can slowly start running &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As I step out into the chilly air, I can feel the weight of the past year bearing down on my shoulders. My Achilles tendon still aches, a constant reminder of the injury that has slowed me down for so long. And yet, despite the pain and the setbacks, I lace up my shoes and begin to run. It’s the first day of a new year, and I am determined to make it a successful one. The road stretches out before me, slick with dew, and I am reminded of a passage from Haruki Murakami’s «What I Talk About When I Talk About Running»: «Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.» It may be an overused quote, but it’s a sentiment that has always resonated with me, and I repeat it to myself like a mantra as I settle into my stride. Yes, the pain is there, but I can choose whether or not to let it defeat me. «Rather than focusing on a specific finish time or placing in a race, I can set goals &#8230;]]></description>
