Place 1st in my age category. Personal: I'm a Brit living in a small town in the south west of Germany, on the edge of a nature park, the Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald.

Started training for an early Spring marathon today. The week kicked off with my long run, 31k at 5:03 av pace per km. Slightly faster than intended, the plan being long and slow at the moment. Beautiful autumn day with a riot of colours on the trail that only inspires. | | Add Comment |

| Easy recovery run, 13,3k at 5:31 pace. (sorry - metric here) damp drizzle day but I enjoyed splooshing in the mud in the woods. Recovery days I like to explore new trails and look around. | | Comments(13) |

A.M. chilly misty morning today. I started using a marathon plan for the first time on Mon and today called for 13k general aerobic & speed with 10 x 100m sprints. Could use the local school track this morning as its autumn school hol this week. Warmed up and after a sluggish start woke up my body with the sprints and 300m jogging inbetween. Then ran 8k working the pace down. Total 13k, in 56:27, av pace/k 4:21 | | Comments(2) |

| Allerheiligen / All Saints day today, public holiday here in B.W. Freezing fog outside was not so inspirational to get out the door but once I started I enjoyed the run. Plan was a nice and steady easy med-long run, started a little too fast but a 2k uphill section helped put the brakes on. Total 20k in 1:36:13, av pace 4:49/k or 7:45/mi. | | Add Comment |

Freezing fog again this morning, 10k recovery run was in the plan but ran uphill a little longer hoping for an inversion from the top of a ridge, no such luck. Total 14,3k in 1:14:03 at av pace 5:11/k or 8:20/mi. | | Comments(2) |

| 16k easy run was in the plan, woke up at 4:40 am and was out the door earlier than in the week. Since the clocks have gone back to winter time I've still not adjusted. In contrast to the last few mornings it was 10°C and clear, a pleasure to run. In the woods I noticed some sort of weasel or stoat run into the bushes, then nearly trod on a snake in its death throes, obviously its breakfast. The turning point of the loop is at 8,5k and gives a wonderful view down the valley, autumn is my favourite time to run and running back downhill was just pure enjoyment. Total 17,5k in 1:24:02, av pace 4:48/k or 7:44/mi. I keep one garmin screen on time of day only to run easy days by feel, checking the av pace on completion, this ended up exactly the same as Thur's easy run pace. | | Comments(1) |
