| I planed to do a longish warm up before the relay, but I was always meeting so many people that I wasn't able to do a real run... only stop and go... mainly stops actually. |

| Swiss middleland relay. Ran with two Americans, Sandra and Eric! We finished 5th, so that is quite good.
I didn't really make mistakes, but I didn't manage to be aggressive and somehow my heart rate stayed in the basement. Actually it was really hot, maybe this had an influence. For sure the fact that I didn't feel comfortable with my hip (it hurt running down) didn't help to be super aggressive.
I lost 4.5 minutes on Daniel Hubmann time, that's a lot! |

| Sunday evening aquajog with Eric. We enjoyed having the swimming pool all by ourselves and played loud "Bone's best hits". |

| Morning jog with Eric from Biel up to Magglinger Berg (took the cable car down). Feeling quite stiff in the beginning, got better after 20min, but still not 100%... I guess I am not used anymore to run so much... but the hip was doing pretty well, that's great. It has been a while since I didn't feel any progress with the healing... maybe I should do more often 3hours training days like the day before... |

| ...finishing with a mental training... indoor biking.
Ah, this was a good training day! Almost no pain with the hip, doing sports like that is a huge pleasure! |

| Loosing up the early hour stiffness for the core strength. |

| The usual core strength. Feeling tough to do it in the morning, but it helped to have a good start in the day... I understand why morning gymnastic feels good... might be something for me when I will be older... much older... |

| First tough training in a while.
Took the cable car down to Biel and ran twice up. Doing 4 intervals between 8 and 12 minutes with 1min break. It felt really good to do a hard training again.
I was a little skeptical to do a fast training because of the hip pain I was having lately, but it went pretty well. I guess it was wise to choose to run uphill to minimize the impacts and especially the big movements.
Funny to watch the training on the satellite picture. It is not everyday I am using twice public transportation to do intervals. I am surprised how bad my gps track was this day. |

| Hard day... hot, long working hours and hip pain. Barely made it to go running. It is quite frustrating, I am planing to train hard those days, but there is no way I can do so with such circumstances. |

| Aquajog 50:00 [1] | |
| |
| Early Ajog training. |
| 100% trails and roads 47:00  7 km (6:43 / km) +250m 5:42 / km | |
| |
| I planed to do 5x (1000meters on the track followed by 3 min steep uphill running). But my hip was bad enough that I had to abort the training after the first rep. Frustrating! |

| Morning jog. My hip seems to prefer uphill running, so I took the cable car down to Biel and ran up home. |
| 100% trails and roads 52:00  7.9 km (6:35 / km) +650m 4:40 / km | |

| Same training in the evening as in the morning but with extra climb. |
| Bike or Hometrainer 22:00  | |
| |
| Originally I planned a 1h10 evening run, but my sore hip asks for less running, so I did the missing time on the bike. |
