Running and hiking is fun


It's been a while since the last post. Running is going great, I finished the C25K as planned and kept running regularly two or three times per week, at some point starting to do slightly longer routes. And then, all of a sudden, last week I went out for an easy 6 km run, however half way through I decided to make it 8 km and a bit later I thought I may as well do 10 km. Slow average pace of 6'47", pretty constant  pace throughout (max 6'42" and min 6'47") despite a few unexpected ups and downs in the unplanned route. Even better, when I finished, I was tired but not exhausted and definitely proud of myself, quite some progress in the last months.

At the same time I have been doing some longer walks each weekend, around 20 km each, with a full backpack and with repeat ups and downs in Teufelsberg Rodelberg. Training for El Camino!

C25K 2025 edition

I started jogging again a few weeks ago. In fact, tomorrow I will start week 4, so far so good.

PS April 11th: Finishing week six, 25 minutes without stops. From now on, it´s "just" 25, 28 & 30 minutes of running in weeks seven, eight and nine. Almost there and it feels like I could run 30 minutes already now anyway.

El pájaro grande se come al pequeño

Muy apropiado en estos tiempos que corren en los que parece que la ley del más fuerte está a punto de imponerse.
