A brief summary of my activities in 2016.
\nweek 52
\n<\/u><\/strong>A podium place \u00a0at the Christmas Trail in my home village Sprundel.
\nI should have listened better to my body, instead of going to hard, but anyway\u2026 a podium place, \u00a0but terrible pain in my left thigh and abdomen now…<\/p>\n

Fortunately I can have much rest this week.<\/p>\n

week 51
\n<\/u><\/strong>Just a nice relaxing week, not too many kilometers.<\/p>\n

week 50
\n<\/u><\/strong>Only a few kilometers. Well runned the course for the league runners (5 km), great run with the group, but retained earnings. remains a game that counts.<\/p>\n

week 49
\n<\/u><\/strong>Not too much kilometers this week, which is not necessary now.<\/p>\n

week 48
\n<\/u><\/strong>This week still some more rest, after the hree bridges race.
\nFeel paiun in the\u00a0 left, right, above and below!<\/p>\n

week 47
\n<\/u><\/strong>Constructive week with the three bridges Ultra 65 km.
\nA very nice race with long straight roads, but unfortunately cold and foggy.
\nContest made while I really wanted to thread it as a workout, so i ended up at the stage,\u00a0 like last year. Too soon after the India Summer Ultra.<\/p>\n

Nutrition during this 65 km:
\n1 and 2 goodie gell\u2019s. I was drinking far too little.
\nRecovery: yogurt, fruit, whey, dates<\/p>\n

week 46
\n<\/u><\/strong>Nice quiet week yet.
\nNext week the three bridges ultra, intended pace around 12KM\/h as a training.
\nNow I will take a little more rest.<\/p>\n

week 45<\/u><\/strong>
\nFurthermore, trained just fine, not bothered by the ultra india summer training, no speed yet.<\/p>\n

week 44<\/u><\/strong>
\nWell, a few days after a 127 km. you can do some easy runs. I actually still can not believe that I won it. Not really excessive burden of it, but have to give time to the body for recover.<\/p>\n

week 43
\n<\/u><\/strong>Quiet on the job, now I do not want anythi<\/span>ng to hurt.<\/span>
\n<\/u><\/strong>Friday Hans, Misha and I left to Drente on Saturday morning for the Indian Summer Ultra which starts at 6:00 It will be the first Indian summer ultra, a 127 km trail through Drente.
\n<\/u><\/strong>Beautiful race, feeling just e\\xcellent.<\/p>\n

And the first edition i became…..FIRST.
\n<\/u><\/strong>
\nNutrition during 127 km.
\n<\/u><\/strong>2 goodie ‘s, 3 gells, Snelle Jelle,\u00a0 and more I can’t remember.
\n<\/u><\/strong>Drinking camelbag low, 1.5 liter hypotonic sports drink and some of the items, much too little!
\n<\/u><\/strong>Recovery: yogurt, fruit, whey, dates. Chips and beer, little well deserved party afterwards!<\/p>\n

week 42
\n<\/u><\/strong>Last full week before the Indian summer ultra , next week, by\u00a0 Drente. I am very excited.
\nKilometers are all still not enough, lets hope I retain the shape. All feels well.<\/p>\n
