Towards a new running year
Hey, it’s me again after a short break. Lately haven’t had that much to write or to comment so I’ve been mainly concentrating on the work or other hobbies than running. I have experienced the same phenomenon previously after the year’s running events have been accomplished and the motivation to…
Race report: Oldenburg marathon 21.10.2018
The alarm clock was triggered at 04:15, because the tram and train connections were highly unsuitable for an early Sunday. On days like that one surely feels a bit demotivated because there is no car available. After having a quick breakfast, I took a tram to the train station and…
Oldenburg Marathon
Hi there, The following race is scheduled: the 26th marathon for me will be next week in Oldenburg, Germany (https://oldenburg-marathon.de). The benefit of this event compared to many others is that I hardly know the town since I’ve only been there once before. The pain during the marathon run is…
19. Sparkassen-Küstenmarathon in Otterndorf
Hi there, After the marathon there is a new marathon coming up. That’s exactly my thought three days after the latest accomplishment. The next marathon will probably be Oldenburg marathon in about four weeks, so there’s hardly any time for recovery, but let’s try anyway. This post, however, will provide…
Race report – 2. Bremer Brückenlauf
Hello, last Saturday I finally got the opportunity to take part in a real running event in Bremen – 2. Bremer Brückenlauf. The half marathon took place in the evening which was a nice change to the normal routine where the most races take place in the daytime. The later…
2. Bremer Brückenlauf
Greetings, The past few weeks have been much better than the previous six months when it comes to the training and motivation. The condition seems to improve slowly, but steadily. Now I hope to be able to maintain the trend through the whole summer. My next race is already scheduled…
Back to the racing
Greetings, I finally succeeded in taking part at a running event – after a very long time. I think I haven’t done this for about a year due to various reasons. On the one hand the issues in the personal life have made training very exhaustive and there were times…
Status at the beginning of a new year of training
Hi there, like numerous bloggers and writers around the worlds, I also want to have a small glance at the past and what kind of plans I have for this year. The past year was a lousy one regarding the training due to the personal worries and illness, and obviously…
Coming back…
Hi, Now I finally feel like I could start writing again – as soon as I find a suitable topic. 🙂 About my running activities there are no big news to be told about, as I have been struggling the whole year long. On the other hand I finally think…
13. Vahrer Seen Lauf
Hi, it’s been a while since the latest post. One reason to the quietness has been a slight change in our life. We figured out we would like to have some extra activities and fresh outdoor life so we went off and rented a little garden near us. It has…
Marathon without training aka Hannover Marathon 2017
Hi there, here’s one tired man writing this post. I did it after all – Off I went and participated at the Hannover marathon. I did that mostly for my friends who I hardly meet nowadays. I was aware that my workouts have been lousy during the past few months, but thanks…
From zero to hero
After weeks of desperation and bad health the spirits are finally getting to a better direction. Maybe I will defeat this disease after all. Tomorrow I plan to take the first steps towards training. I really want to be careful this time as I don’t want to lose the whole…
Workouting
Hi, it seems I’m finally getting back to the right track and it gives a tremendous pleasure to be able to do tougher and tougher workouts. Now I only have to keep up with the good phase and go on until the Hannover marathon. I have also been thinking about,…
Gradually back to the training
Hey, After having spent a while with other topics, it’s now time for a running related blog post. As I have lately written, I’ve been very disappointed with my general health, but I hope things are finally proceeding to a right direction. This is now the second week I’m able…
Break from running and weight gain
Hi there, I encountered the first disappointment of the year 2017 first thing in the morning, when stepping on the scale after several weeks’ break. I was well aware of that I might have gained some pounds after having been unable to train for several weeks due to a prolonged…
Recovering slowly
Hello, It has been a while since the latest running related post, because the spirits haven’t been especially high due to my health condition. I still don’t feel completely healthy, but at least I haven’t fallen to a complete flu. After the vacation and Christmas break I’m gradually starting with…
Allgäu Panorama Marathon
This post is continuation to the series about top running events where I have been as participant. Allgäu Panorama Marathon is a wonderful running event in the middle of the Alps, in Allgäu, Germany. The organisation relies on two heroes, Axel Reusch and Christian Feger. Naturally there are plenty of volunteers helping…
Low motivation
Good Evening, The past few weeks haven’t been especially good with regards to the training. After the marathon that hardly was a success I have been suffering from a melancholy, and partly lost the motivation for the running. This has to do with the fact that I have been partly…
A training plan for the 10k run
In this post I will provide a glance at the training plan which I’m currently following. My plan is to improve my speed and performance at 10k distance. The obvious objective is the Bremer Winterlaufserie where I can basically run 10k three times with a respective interval of four weeks.…
