There are 52 days left until my first Marathon try…some general thoughts coming to my mind is that it’s a whole different preparation program than half-marathon. After all, it IS a double distance. Last weekend I ran 35k in 03:37:46, which is 06:13min/km. Although the timing looks slow, it includes all the breaks. Feet start [...]
December’s totals: Run:13h 24m 52s – 146.5 KM Swim:9h 20m – 6200 M Strength:1h 50m Elliptical Training:8h 50m In December I’ve ran my longest distance so far (31k). My first Marathon is in two months, and the plan is to do 35k in two weeks, and four weeks after that some 38-39k. Still traying to [...]
31k – 03:07:25 My run went better than the last big one (25k). I’ve ran circles on the course I usually run at (6.4k per circle). This choice’s advantage is that I paused at every circle, got some hydration and nutrition from my car and continued on, which is different in relation to running from [...]
Today it’s Christmas. After a pleasant and peaceful lunch with my family I came home happy and full of energy. This week I plan to go 28k, and I plan to do that long run on Friday, the 30th. In that way I (believe) would be able to properly recuperate for the New Year’s Eve. [...]
Ingredients: 1 cup oats 1 and a half cup of water (for start) One Apple Cinnamon 1 scoop casein protein powder 1. Mix the oats and the water in a bowl 2. Put them in the microwave for one minute (for oats to loosen up) 3. Stir in the casein protein powder (I [...]
While it’s sometimes easy to think about your weekends as the ones that you’ll have some rest, I was aware that my weekend will be far from that. Although my activity of 3+ hours was not so much long, it took my complete strength and energy reserves…for both days. According to my schedule, I should [...]
While I’m listening to some cool music on my laptop, my thoughts are going towards this weekend and solving my eternal issue: nutrition. With Diabetes T1 it’s very hard. I remember the days when my results were impeccable, but I doubt that kind of nutrition could cover current amount/type of training I do. This week [...]
Run:9h 28m 44s - 108.8 KM (Correction) Swim:14h 35m - 13000 M Strength:2h 45m Aerobics:30m Elliptical Training:8h 35m I usually don’t log my workouts every day. I do it once or two times per week, and I have to say, I was a bit surprised to see I ran 160k in November (Edit: Correction => 108.8k [...]
We are already deep into period where the day shortens up on a daily basis. The sun rises at around 7 AM, and it falls…well, already it’s down (4:30 PM), and in about 15-20 minutes it will be completely dark. Another month of this period (until Christmas…). It’s way more hard(er) to be keen [...]
My friend bought me my first hydration belt for my distance runs. I’ve tried it for the first time today (12,42 miles run) and it feels all right. I’ve had some trouble first 2 miles, though, but eventually I found the right formula to avoid bouncing around. I often run from point A to B [...]
