Went out for another “easy” 5km jogging on Sunday. Once more, I drove up to the nearby “Gehaansbierg”. Didn’t see many runners, but the place seems to be quite popular with people walking their dogs. Unfortunately, my current fitness level makes these “easy” runs feel less easy than they should be. There’s nothing I can…

Recovery week and first 5k training in a while
The past week has been challenging. Not only was my hip and groin area not happy after the 100m race on Saturday, but the left achilles tendon was also pretty sore. I’d constantly get the feeling that the entire area was not stretched enough to cope with things as simple as walking after getting out…
Today’s run (28/Apr/2014)
I went for an 1-hour run during my lunch break today. I only managed to cover 8.73km in 1:01:38 (7:04 min/km). I’d like to think it’s because the trail that I followed is twisting and turning and going up and down quite a bit (182 m elevation gain); but in reality it’s far more likely…
9.6km run at “Naturschutzgebitt Haard”
Distance ran: 9,63 km in 1:10:33; with an average pace of 7:20 min/km and 287 m elevation gain.
Training log Tuesday, 2/Jul/2013
My achilles tendon had not been happy on Monday and Tuesday morning. Quite why I ended up doing quite a large double program on Tuesday, I don’t really know. Stubbornness, I suppose. At lunch, I did a 10km loop around the Petrusse and Alzette valleys near work. I tried to stay on forest trails as…
Training log Thursday-Monday
Thursday 27/Jun: Went to my club’s track training. Did various stair jumps in the stadium stands (as best as the hip that’s still sore could handle – maybe it’s not the smartest idea to do these jumps while I’m still somewhat injured) and then five laps on the grass (strides on the straights, jogging inbetween)….
September 3rd: Kayl to Lannebierg/Kalebierg/Mont St Jean and back
After a stressful commute home, and a stressful day in general, I only managed to start my run late in the day. I started off with the same 1.7km on paved roads that I’d done the day before, but then opted to go up “Rue de Volmerange”. This proved to be a very exhausting decision,…
September 2nd: Kayl to Lannebierg/Kalebierg/Mont St Jean and back
Day 2 of the month saw a slight mileage increase over the previous day with slightly faster pace and more elevation gain. Oddly enough, my Garmin watch seems to think I burned fewer calories. I started my run on the sidewalk along the main road to Tétange. After 1.3km, I turned left into „Langertengass“, a…
September 1st: 13.4km from Kayl to Brucherbierg/Gaalgebierg and back
I ran 13.40km today. I started off at home and headed west, intending to join the forested hill I’d ran on quite a few times the past two years that I lived in Esch. Of course I didn’t quite know how to get there, so I mostly trusted my instincts in getting out of town….
