Training in Iten | Athens Marathon Greek Championship Target: 2:14:59
Hannover Marathon 2025: 2:28:51, 36th overall.
Now? Athens Marathon November 9th, 2025. Goal: Win Greek Championship in 2:14:59.
I moved to Iten because it's greatest place in world for anyone who wants to become champion in distance running. Altitude here extremely high—around 2,400 meters—forces body to adapt, work harder, unlock new level aerobic power that directly translates to dominant performances at sea level. Weather perfect year-round. Soft, endless red dirt roads gentle on body, allowing high mileage without injury.
Most powerful factor isn't environment—it's the people. I'm training every day alongside greatest runners on planet. Their presence pushes me, challenges me, inspires me to raise standards. Every session becomes race. Every race makes me stronger. Life here simple. Food healthy, distractions few, lifestyle built around discipline. Everything revolves around what truly matters: train well, recover well, become best version of yourself.
I have detailed race pace plan to reach finish in 2:14:59. ENGO crucial for hitting correct paces each kilometer, especially as Athens course profile varies. I'll use ENGO to simulate Athens course in training, particularly during long runs. First half: need to stay locked into sub-3:11/km pace. ENGO helps me maintain that rhythm on Tambach Stadium's flat surface. Then comes 12km uphill stretch from Tambach to Iten—need to hold between 3:11/km and 3:24/km depending on gradient. ENGO vital here for pacing accuracy.
Athens finishes with fast downhill section requiring about 3:03/km. Again, ENGO essential both in training and race, allowing me to run freely without constantly checking watch. I'll simulate this descent during sessions from Iten to Kessup. ENGO amazing for speed-work and long runs—I like keeping head up, checking I'm hitting correct paces.
Helps me go faster. No more losing seconds looking at watch. I have constant view of pace to stay focused to target. If you really want to hit fastest paces your body capable of, ENGO is must-have. Training in Iten with best runners in world, using ENGO to execute precise pace strategy—this is how I'm preparing to win Athens Marathon Greek Championship. 2:14:59. November 9th. Watch.

Everything runners ask, answered.
Will I even notice a difference?
The engo3 uses fixed tinted lenses (category 3), perfect for very sunny conditions. The engo3 Photochromic features photochromic lenses that automatically adapt to light levels (cat. 0 to 3), making it ideal for changing light conditions.
Is engo3 compatible with Garmin?
Yes it is, with over 81+ models of Garmin devices, plus Apple Watch.
How is engo3 different from Meta Oakley Vanguard?
engo3 is a pure performance display built for serious runners and cyclists: a lightweight AR heads-up display (38.5g) that projects your stats (pace, heart rate, cadence, and more) right in your line of sight, with 20+ hours of battery life and no camera, music, or notifications to distract you.
The Oakley Meta Vanguard is a general-purpose smart glasses product with a built-in camera and Meta AI, giving you sport stats through voice commands or audio rather than a visual display, with about 9 hours of battery life. In short: engo3 keeps your eyes on the road and your data always visible, Vanguard is a multitasking device where sport is one feature among many.
How long does the engo3 battery last?
24+hours
Can I use engo3 for trail running or ultras?
Yes!
Does engo3 have a camera?
No, engo3 doesn't have a camera. It's built purely as a data display: no camera, no music, no notifications, just your real-time stats (pace, heart rate, cadence, etc.) projected in your field of view. That's a deliberate choice to keep it light (38.5g) and focused on performance rather than content capture.
What is the weight of engo3?
38.5 gr
