Week 08 - Bad week

From a anaerobic capacity (=ANC) perspective, week 08 will not be remembered as the most efficient nor most contribution one. The 14K easy run workout on Monday evening (travel day), went awesome and the sober morning run on Tuesday went fine as well.

Week 07 - Don`t you think it`s time for a change?

After Tuesday`s workout, the next rest cycle of my summer preparation started. With 4 anaerobic capacity trainings in 9 days, the previous training cycle ended quite intense. The body is reacting pretty good on this type of workout. 

Week 06 - Hilly week

The trainers of the High Performance Running Team planned 3 hill repeat workout sessions this week. As the week progressed, the recovery came back to the level that I had before my 'mandatory' yearly winter cold.

Week 05 - Bad cold affects workout execution

The Sunday following the indoor mile test, my throat was sore and my nose was stuffed. The rest of the week I was suffering from a bad cold (otitis).

Week 04 - Pictures Mile race

The pictures of the mile race of last weekend are posted below. The form changes as the lactic acid accumulated in my blood. We don`t have a picture of the final lap (267m).

Week 04 - First "race" test on endurance training

Last weekend, a first test was planned. At the indoor meeting of ETSU, I ran the invite mile as an unattached runner. Beforehand, I knew that I would crash. The only question was: “How far can I make it before the lactic acid kicks in” It was my first race since we left Belgium mid-August.
