Hallå hallå!
I haven’t updated my blog for quite some time now although I have been out for quite a few runs recently. I’m very sorry about these long periods without any updates and I will try to do better.
I went to Thun in the last week of November for business and didn’t have the time [...]

It’s getting chilly out there
Here’s a summary of my runs that I took this week. It’s been only two runs this week and I’m absolutely not happy about the fact that I can’t dedicate as much time to running as I would like to, but there’ll be better times again.
This was my first run wearing my winter running gear [...]

Slowly adjusting to the new surroundings (and the altitude)
I’ve got in a couple of runs in Chur already. Honest, it took me a while to adjust to the new surroundings (like running on asphalt), the many hills and of course to the altitude. The first few runs were not too much fun, but once I had got those in I could enjoy my [...]

Have I finally found the ideal pace?
Since I started running I’ve been looking for the perfect pace, and hence to be able to maintain my pace throughout an entire workout. Most of the times I had to slow down in the end or even worse, I ran 2k fast followed by a more or less slow kilometer causing the chart of [...]

Running is starting to feel great again
Finally, I’m starting to enjoy my running workouts again Don’t get me wrong, I like exercising a lot and wouldn’t want to quit for any reason, but during today’s run I was having a really good time. Actually, it was pretty much effortless running (except for the final 500m), almost similar to the days [...]

New basic workout: running 5k at base pace
Besides coached workouts (runs), I figured there should be also a basic workout which helps me to get back in shape. This is where a 5k run at base pace is supposed to step in
Although I enjoy coached workouts a lot, varying my runs should bring a couple of advantages: First and foremost, workouts [...]

Slowly getting back into training
It’s been a while since my last post and thus it’s been all so quite here with my little blog. All I can say is: Mea maxima culpa!
Some of you folks might have thought that I’d have discontinued my training efforts and therefore also this blog. I may even have supported these thoughts by not [...]

A 30 minutes running workout in the heat of the day
I’m definitely not made for running in heat Not that I’m not comfortable with sweating like a dog, but with 30°C outside my body simply refuses to run When I went for a run this afternoon at half past 5 I expected the workout to be hard … but not this hard [...]

5k run on a hot an humid day
And here’s the log of my second running workout for this week. Personally, I hope that I can keep up both running and cycling twice in the following weeks.
As a rule of thumb, my goal is to spend three times more with cycling than with running. Consequently, when cycling for about 130 minutes twice a [...]
