12 February

5 and a half hours of skiing!!!  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :headbang:

It's been 2 years. Was rusty as f@ck of course, barely got to a decent form at the end of the day.
Still, what a glorious thing skiing is, a very enjoyable sport in a magnificent nature surrounding.
This totally ruined my weekly run-training plan ( no low aerobic run and no HIIT run ). Don't care , totally worth it, skiing makes me so happy! ;D

18 February

Low aerobic zone run 11K @ 1:21:11 ( 7:23 pace )

Wow big progress, last week it was 10K @ 7:53,so i was 30s per km faster while going 1km more too. Very nice.



19 February

VO2-max run

3.5K warmup
Sprint 5x800m / 3.5 minutes walking rest
2K cool down

Target pace for the 800s is 4:21
I got 4:33 / 4:32/ 4:34 / 4:27 / 4:30

Haven't done the 800m-sprints workout for almost 2 months now. Failed to get target paces but at least i was still around 4:30, pretty close.

6 hours of skiing.

Fucking awesome as always. Form obviously improved so much more fun.



28 February

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 20 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 10 rounds

Definitely feeling stronger with the new strict form.



Disappointed from the total lack of running consistency. It is a combination of random bad weather and a hectic and stressful work period.
Gotta get back at it.

not even joking, let's do it. but not aspen. i've never skied out west but if i were going to, i'd pick a place like sun valley or big sky, somewhere a little less expensive and crowded.

You know what, that's actually a great idea lol. intercontinental flight for a ski-trip is not so convenient, but still. Let's keep it in the back of out heads for next year.
Btw Aspen is the only one i know in the US so that's why i mentioned it, i also much prefer non-crowded resorts that base their cost on what's on the slopes, not around them.

Back to boring reality:

3 March

Easy run 10K @ 58:23 ( 5:50 pace )
Low aerobic HR zone cool down 2K @ 17:22 ( 8:40 pace )

Easy run was expectedly a bit slower due to de-training but pacing was steady and feeling was true easy, pleasant surprise!
Also, for while i cant find the time/conditions to do the low aerobic run, i will be adding more of it as warmup/cooldowns in other workouts.

Weekend weather was too rainy to go run, too snowstormy on the mountains to go ski, so training-wise it was wasted.

7 March

'Speed form' run.

-4K low aerobic zone
-Sprint 8 x 400m / 3.5 mins walking rest
-2.5K low aerobic zone

Target pace for the 400s is 4:02
I got 4:03 3:57 4:04 3:59 4:04 3:56 4:08 3:55

Wow nice, haven't' done 400s for 3 months now. Not only i got the target paces, but they also felt springy and fast.
