September Training (Juergen)

Well, Christoph asked me to write a bit more about my training, so I decided to make it a blog-post. September was not a particularly interesting month - but I will try to amend my usually cryptic blog-style so everybody understands - hopefully. Would be nice if others did the same, so we could have some discussion about training here on the site.

3. 5k

4. 43k including darmstadt full - 3:51:56 - I ran this full marathon in Germany because I had made the pledge to run a 10k, a…

Ome Nippara Trail

Yesterday, I ran the Ome-Nippara 36.8k trail run. I finished in 7:12, not bad for an old man, but too long for team-mate Yoshi to wait for me! He had come in in fourth position in 4:48! Great effort on a course where the downhills partly had ropes because they were to step to descend without them! Well, it definitely was not my kind of course, as I prefer gentle…

Darmstadt Marathon/Germany

Yesterday, I ran the Darmstadt Marathon in Darmstadt south of Frankfurt. I came off a business trip and not much preparation, felt over-all tired, and had to settle for a sub-par 3:51:56. The course was also hillier than expected, and weather was pretty hot.

In spite of these conditions, my friends Andreas Gerrits (left) and Benedikt - Haile - Heil obviously…

Cherry Blossoms and Charity

A beautiful day at the Path of Philosophy, and a lot of good people who donated for the earthquake victims. A young couple of runners who I had handed my flyer came running after me to hand me a 1000Yen note, and a group of foreigners celebrating under the cherry trees donated 500Yen each.

May go for a second run later…

Ultramarathon Jeju

In yesterday's 80k trail run, until 38.4, I had a good race, was running in 3rd position, after the summit of Mt.Halla and a lot of slippery snow. I then missed the course due to a mistake by the organizer and was quite upset. Well, they declared me a finisher, because I ran 70k and crossed the summit of Mt. Halla, but I would have liked to try to challenge Yoshi for the… Continue
