Going for 55K: Week 19 & 20
For the last two weeks, I have solely focused on trail running and completely removed the road running from my training routine. The feeling it gives to be out in the forest/jungle and just be running for because you like running is something else. I hav

Going for 55K: Week 18
Last week was a way better running week than previous weeks. At the moment I am shifting focus from running fast to running for an extended period of time. All the trails here in Hong Kong really helps when it comes to doing long sessions with heavy climb

Hi, and sorry for the (very) delayed update. It's been two busy weeks with lots to do and we also had a visit by my mother-in-law that made the training schedule go kaputt. On the flip-side, though I've been out on a lot of hikes with the dog

Last week I told you that I wanted to do more running but keeping the amount of strength training, and to be able to do that I would try to do strength and be running at the same day this week as an experiment. Now, training for an ultramarathon was never

This week I felt almost shamefully fresh. It could be due to the fact that the damp cold has let its grip go off Hong Kong and it's slowly getting warmer again. The humidity when it's cold is just piercing you straight through to the bone marrow, making y
