i had intended to do another 10k today, but my legs felt terrible... must have been too much beer this week ;-)

warmup hockey game... scored a goal that was deemed illegit, but we won anyhow... usual routine of exercises and playing time

SEASON OPENER

first outdoor run of the season... spring has come and as the sun comes out and temperatures rise, I decided to go for a little run to Au in order to check on my running shape... didn't know what to expect, cause so far I had only been running on a treadmill... conditions were good though, and I also liked my speed and overall performance

looking back, when I took up running 3 years ago, my season opening run was aweful... I remember getting exhausted from a 3k run with the running speed at around 7 mins per km... last year's season opener was a 10k run @ 6 mins per km... this year I'm even faster, so I'm kinda anxious to see what improvements I can make throughout the spring

C • there were great running co... 2

1. warm up... 5 mins of slow running (treadmill)

2. cardio... wanted to work on my running speed, so i decided to do a shorter, yet faster, run today (treadmill)... did a 5k in 24 mins (km speed @ 4:48)... still not great, but way better than this time around last year :)

3. cool down... 5 mins of slow running (treadmill)

4. usual balance routine... 760 points, level 3

5. cycling (ergometer)... 25 mins mountain stage... that was pretty intense, given the run i had done before... had to fight towards the end, but i did it!

C • congrats, that you could co... 2

warm-up: balance disk training... funny enough, whenever i do two sets, the second one is always better than the first... scored about 800 points (lvl 3) today

cardio: 45 mins running on a treadmill... in those 45 minutes i put up 8 kilometers, which results in an average split time of roughly 5:36 per kilometer... that's pretty bad, but as i am not really used to running on a treadmill, i can live with it... i expect myself to be faster once it gets warm enough to run outside again

cool-down: 5 mins of slow running

Skiing - Hochficht

indoor fistball training... mostly business as usual: indoor hockey - strengthening exercises - drills - mock game

must have torn a muscle (left upper leg) some time during the training... it doesn't hurt at rest but gave me a hard time while training... guess that will keep me sidelined till sunday (skiing)

some cardio training to get rid of unnecessary superbowl-calories ;)

1. 27 mins run @ 11 km/h
wanted to do a 60 mins run, but 27 mins into the run the treadmill died, causing an abrupt stop... I stumbled and almost fell... well, as you can imagine, I opted to better not continue the run

2. balance training
nothing special... doing my usual routine on the mft disc

3. 15 mins indoor cycling
finished it off with a 15 mins mountain stage... boy, was that tough... even though I changed into the easiest gear, I was constantly going at over 200 watts... had planned to go on for some more time, but that resistance killed me... so I called it a day

tossing the old pig-skin, getting buried in snow, freezing my fingers off, having a couple of beers, laughing a lot, and having a great time with friends

yeah, that pretty much sums it up :)

1. 30 mins warmup run @ 10 kmh
as this was my first run in a while, I chose to not overdo it... the 10 kmh were just perfect for my needs

2. balance exercises

3. interval training - 8 sets
1 min 15 secs of fast running @ 15 kmh
1 min of slow running @ 8 kmh
