Informal first 5K (with intervals)

Posted on 2011-10-09 by Oliver

Today I ran an informal 5K, just to see whether I can cope. I could. Of course this was with intervals, so it was 4 minutes run, then 1 minute walk, but nevertheless. Took me 43:56.51 for 5.07 km at … Continue reading →

On last Saturday I took an extended swim in Laugardalslaug (use a web search for photos etc). On Sunday I did again 80 x 50 m. As you can see the distance per lap there is twice as long as … Continue reading →

K.O.

Posted on 2011-07-27 by Oliver

Just did a workout that deserves that name. 150 x 25 m in 121 min. I know, I know this may not seem very fast, but it’s already a huge improvement in speed but most importantly in stamina. Admittedly I … Continue reading →

Posted on 2011-07-04 by Oliver

Ich hatte bereits über die letzten paar Wochen und Monaten damit angefangen gesünder zu essen, nur eins hat mit noch gefehlt. Kalorienzählen. Die Geschichte von Ben Davis, der zu Beginn seines Gewichtsverlusts – Januar 2009 – 10 Jahre jünger war … Continue reading →

Posted on 2011-07-03 by Oliver

I took it easy and slow, but I officially started my C25K tonight, despite the crappy weather, I should add. Let’s hope the amazing and inspiring transformation of Ben Davis will guide me through this long-term effort. // Oliver (not … Continue reading →
