Week 2 2017

The training on the track was going well, apart from the start, which was a bit hard.

Phoe phoe.. Thursday to 12 km but not too smoothly. Still some problems. I did a 5 km run to the forest and had to go back becuase of the pain!

So no workouts for a while, and i hope that will help, because it’s Easter soon!

Week 1 2017

The year started badly!

Overloading the abs after the Christmass trail in Sprundel.

Stupid stuff testosterone in men, because i went for a podium place.
I am very often chirurged on a hernia in the past and this is my weak spot, consequences are incalculable yet I think.

Tuesday i was offering training, but did not run myself, because i had too much trouble with it.

Hereafter I did a thoroughly workout  on the treadmill, but it hurt still a lot.

Thursday again i coached my team,  and yet again participated.

Saturday there was snow and I did not do go outside, do used the treadmill and overhauled considerably thereafter.Sunday was terrible,  and I had much pain after 5km on the treadmill and decided to stop.

Goals for 2017:

  • Texel 120 km
  • Hopefully the draw the Sparthatlon.
  • If not, the India Summer Ultra

Welcome to my Blog!

Om mijn blog in het Nederlands te lezen aub even hierboven of hiernaast de nederlands vlag te selecteren.

Welcome!

Why a blog?

Not everyone can practice my sport, by sharing my experiences I can take you into the world of ultra running. The good times, but also times when it is less.

Remember everything is relative, I respect everyone who sports on his own level.

1  or 100 km. game, you can forego much at all 2. only takes on one little longer!

Lots of fun

Highlights of 2016

A brief summary of my activities in 2016.
week 52
A podium place  at the Christmas Trail in my home village Sprundel.
I should have listened better to my body, instead of going to hard, but anyway… a podium place,  but terrible pain in my left thigh and abdomen now…

Fortunately I can have much rest this week.

week 51
Just a nice relaxing week, not too many kilometers.
