week 6 / 5-11 FEB

Weekly total: 35.5km

05 FEB 1:30PM
~7km in ~35min
Ran to Olympia after work. The stupid ipod kept dying on me for some reason so i had to stop 3 times and it stole me a few km-s as well. But at least i took the opportunity to calibrate it.

07 FEB 6:30AM
8.5km in 43min
Went out for a quick round around on the Turany-Popelova route.  Waking up wasnt necessarily pleasant but it certainly was worth it. I just love it to start my day with a run. There are just about a dozen great things about it... but as the weather improves slowly i must say the most significant of those good things becomes the peace and suburban neatness around that fills me up with positive energy and smoothes out my thoughts. It works in the winter too but not as well. And then of course starting into the day with minus 600kcal isnt too bad either :)


09 FEB 18:00PM
40min cardio
I had a gym daye scheduled with K (and planned to do the long run) but had to cancel as L fell sick and i had to stay home with her. I was itching for a run but all i got was the chance for a lousy indoors workout so i took the kickbox pt1 and swang it good. I just remember how it used to make me really sweat and pant before and i wonder if my conditioning is so much better now or maybe im doing it wrong... cause it feels way too short and easy.

10FEB 20:20PM
20km in 1:43min
I was planning to go to the gym but i pulled time until it was too late so i was forced to conduct the long run on the streets. But as the weather was really mild even in the evening it turned out a lot better than i expected. I wore the capris and only a light jacket for the first time this year. I went first down the road as if to pass the highway but turned back to the village instead and than up and around Popelova and Turany (the opposite direction as usually) and then once more aroun the village and up until Holasky, then back home. I stopped after the first round to hydrate (D brought my isostar down) shortly but it didnt feel like i actually needed it and all in all it all just felt too easy and nice for 20kms. At an average speed of 5:10/km it made me wonder...
