Session 62/2014 – Wet – 11 km – 21.05.2014

Session 62/2014 – Wet – 11 km – 21.05.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 22 May 2014 | Training Session

11 days to go 🙂 until Comrades 2014. I recovered very well from the 32 km run 3 days ago. This morning was very rainy, cool, not pleasant to run. Anyway, after a good gym session I headed out for an easy 11 km run. In two days time I plan an intervall session, before...
Session 61/2014 – Last long run before Comrades – 32 km – 18.05.2014

Session 61/2014 – Last long run before Comrades – 32 km – 18.05.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 18 May 2014 | Training Session

According to my own recovery plan, I wanted to do a 32 km run today as a last long run before Comrades on June 1st 2014. Everything went really well. I ran on an ondulating route, to get more used to hills again and the shin did not cause any trouble. After 25 km or...
Session 60/2014 – Trail Quickie – 6 km – 17.05.2014

Session 60/2014 – Trail Quickie – 6 km – 17.05.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 17 May 2014 | Training Session

I wrote two days ago that I’ll have a 2 day break followed by a 32 km run. Well, I did not want to wait for two days and swaped the morning walk with the dog with a short trail run. Just 6 km, not very difficult, not very fast. For tomorrow I’ll stick to...
Session 59/2014 – Longer – 20 km – 15.05.2014

Session 59/2014 – Longer – 20 km – 15.05.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 15 May 2014 | Training Session

Another step forward, crossing the 20 km mark 🙂 I went out for a 20 km run today and all is in order. No more doubts at all if the injury is cured or not. It is! I’ll take two days off now and go for an easy 32 km run on the third day. That’s for my mind...
Session 58/2014 – Promising – 15.2. km – 13.05.2014

Session 58/2014 – Promising – 15.2. km – 13.05.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 13 May 2014 | Training Session

I’m very happy for two reasons. Firstly because the running is going really good. After an early morning gym session I did another 15 km run and felt really good. Next steps will be a 25 km and a 30 – 32 km run. Secondly because my “Run 4...
Session 57/2014 – Three weeks to go – 15 km – 10.05.2014

Session 57/2014 – Three weeks to go – 15 km – 10.05.2014

by Axel Rittershaus | 10 May 2014 | Training Session

It’s three weeks to go until Comrades 2014 on June 1st. Today I went back again on tar road and increased the milage. I wanted to go 12 – 14 km, and ended running 15 km. It felt really good, I was still running slow and tried to reduce the impact on my...
