Distance: 8.00 km Duration: 45m:50s Average pace: 05:44 min/km Average heart rate: 133 Today the training program suggested me to have a rest, but I considered it better to go for a short, light round in Schwachhausen and Vahr. I don’t normally follow the heart rate very carefully but this time I wanted to…

Tonight I did a relaxed round in Bremen with the target to keep the heart rate in control and not get excited during the last few kilometers like it has been lately. By getting used to higher pace during the end phase of the training is a way of getting a…
Cruise intervals
8 x 1k, 0.2k recovery + wu/cd Today’s training by Strava was interval training in the cruise pace. I have often disliked intervals, but if I want to develop as runner, there’s hardly another way than to run even this type of training every now and then. I decided to…
Easy 14k in a pleasant summer night’s breeze
