Hallå hallå!
I was so happy about the weather conditions and highly motivated for running a 10 miler yesterday that I totally forgot to bring my HRM (well, I brought the watch but forgot the sensor). Hence, I was required either to go back home and grab the sensor or to run by intuition which, as you [...]

Another pair of Nike+ Air Zoom Triax 11
I purchased another pair of Nike+ Triax 11 for cheap (67€ only thanks to a 20€ Paypal voucher and a great offer at Ebay) and am now able of switching my trainers every run. Hopefully, this will do any good for my legs and of course also for my shoes.
Here’s how I performed on [...]

Easter run: 11 miles
When leaving for the run I planned to run just 15k at a very moderate pace as it was rather cold outside. But when I arrived at the Wehranlagen and wanted to set up the training program on my iPod I noticed there was no 15k program, just 10k and 10 miles. For some reason [...]

Boredom on the bike
Same procedure as every week
Summary: This week’s long bike run lasted 70 minutes and was boring as hell. It’s about time that I start hitting the road with my bike otherwise I’ll risk falling asleep while working out

A mid-week endurance run on a cold late March day
Winter’s returning No, I’m not kidding. It started to snow right in the moment I was finishing today’s workout. Honest, the weather is quite annoying these days as it requires runners to forecast weather conditions during their workouts or they sweat like a dog or freeze their butts off.
Anyway, I was dressed properly and [...]

10k recovery run
And yet another post I’m ramping up mileage and got in another 10k on Tuesday. I consider the run as a recovery workout. No more, no less.
Especially my recovery was very satisfying. This fills me with great confidence about the road race. Apparently, my body has fully recovered from being overtrained:
Min. 0 158 bpm
Min. [...]

25 minutes of easy pedaling
Despite my announcement of taking a day off on Monday I threw in a short biking session. I felt compelled to do so because I had tweaked my sitting position, moved the saddle slightly backward and raised the “nose” of the saddle a bit.
This resulted in a very different position and leverage when pedaling, but [...]

The day I officially became a runner
Ladies and gents, today’s a good day for Germany Tom Taper This week’s long run was my first half-marathon, ever. I set the training program to last 01:45:00 (or 105 minutes) and deep inside I was hoping that I would run a half-marathon in that period.
Yes, I know that I shouldn’t care about my [...]

Issues with riding position and with my saddlepost
I’m afraid this will be a short post which is something that it has in common with yesterday’s session on the cycle trainer
I experienced very annoying issues with my saddle, the saddle post, and thus also with the riding position during the workout. But check out the data on the session first.
