2:59 hrs easy

Fighting with a light cold, but it's not that I feel bad. So I decided to start the run and see how I feel. I thought so much about it that I came into a "Forrest Gump-mode". I said: "I came until this point, so I can run to the next" and so on. The first loop was about 25k...

First run without carbohydrate intake.

Rest day because of a cold. We´re speaking a very special dialect in my area which says "fregg" for having a cold. Maybe you can surprise your family/friends next time you´re suffering from a cold! (-:

I´m always trying to see things positive:

- this will be the last "fregg" before my marathon

- the marathon is still 7 weeks away. It would be worse to have a "fregg" later

- maybe this break saved me from a more serious injury/illness/overtraining

Will be back soon! (-;

64' incl. 3 steep hill sprints

Bought that idea from Brad Hudson who uses hill-sprints for his runners as injury prevention. I will incorporate them very carefully into my training because I'm in the middle of my marathon training cycle. So I'm trying not to change too much too quickly. Just a few sprints once or twice a week as muscle training.

Cold is still there, but I'm feeling well enough to run easily.
