Session 42/2014 – Nice morning run – 8 km – 19.03.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 21 Mar 2014 | Training Session

I believe I’m on a good way with my health. My throat is not sore any more, just a bit of a cold. Just a bit. Early morning run with a few attendees of another leadership training I am running this week. Distance 8 km / 5.0 mi Time 48 min Monthly distance...
Session 41/2014 – Playing safe – 9.6 km – 16.03.2014

Session 41/2014 – Playing safe – 9.6 km – 16.03.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 16 Mar 2014 | Training Session

This morning I felt a bit better. But I was not at 100% with my health. Therefore I canceled the 40 km run for today. I postponed the decision if I would run at all today until later. In the afternoon the sun was so tempting, and I felt ok, that I went for a very easy...

Session 40/2014 – Sick or not? – 20.7 km – 15.03.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 16 Mar 2014 | Training Session

I woke up with a sore throat and since almost half of the people I met within last week were sick, I hope I did not pick up any illness. Or at least nothing severe. Anyway, I went for my planned 20 km run on a chilly morning. I felt that I was not at 100%, but it is...

And again a morning run with attendees of the leadership training I’m facilitating. Bärbel joined me yesterday already. The morning was beautiful again. Maybe 5-7°C, clear skies, beautiful sunrise and peaceful scenery. After two pretty short runs this week, the...

Session 37/2014 – Windy trail run – 7.4 km – 09.03.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 9 Mar 2014 | Training Session

After yesterdays 40km session I did just a short and easy trail run this morning. It was a short round with some nice hills and very strong wind. I was thinking about all the cyclists out there doing the 109 km Cape Argus Cycletour – and I’m lucky I was...
