The last 2½ weeks my training has been going ok. Not super, but that is expected. Some sessions I feel quite good, other sessions I feel like offseason should start again tomorrow and last a few years...
The training load the past two weeks has been 20 and 15 hours and this week I will probably hit around 16-17 hours. It may sound like a lot in off-season. And it is definitely in the high numbers of what I am used to train and should be defined as hard weeks. But it is not really hard sessions. Some easier bike sessions, swimming with main focus on my technique and short slow runs. I also have a hope that I will be tested in early December, so I better turn up in a condition better than crap… But I’ll get back to that at a later stage. The following weeks I will probably turn the intensity on the runs a notch or two up. In 2½ weeks I will hopefully do a short 10k test, to see what my level of performance is at a distance, which does not suit me at all. But it will be a good guidance point for reference in the winter period.
I weighed my self yesterday. Very rare I do that. You just loose focus if you do that too often instead of focusing on your overall condition. But lost about two kilos, so I am under my race weight. Maybe I should change my expectations to my race weight. I’m actually lighter than at both IM France and especially at Ostseeman. I am 191 cm., so 75 kilos seems like a ok weight. I expect to stay around that number in the future, as I will probably gain muscle weight and loose fat the next six months. That is at least my target.
Mexican food as dinner on the day of the Worlds in Hawaii… Is that acceptable… Well, as my brother is half Mexican and is believed to be the long expected unknown brother of Michael Rasmussen, then I think I’ll just accept this quietly… Mexican food it is on Saturday eve…
