23 hours of training this week, a lot of cycling and running miles stacked — that could be the short summary. Not much exciting happened. OK, on May 1st I stumbled into a neo-Nazi march and the counter-demonstration in Speyer — but that was about the most exciting thing.

By now the long sessions are showing their effect — 2.5h of running and 5h on the bike without nutrition (besides water) are working well again.

  • Monday: 4.5h cycling through the Kraichgau and 45min brick run
  • Tuesday: wrapping up the bike block with 5.5h on the bike
  • Wednesday: complete rest day
  • Thursday: 1h running and 1h swimming
  • Friday: 2.5h run, details here
  • Saturday: strength training, 1h swimming and 75min running
  • Sunday: 5h cycling and 30min brick run
