Let's get started again
I had a pretty good run today in the morning. Just started at 9 AM and headed out of the village, first 20min is just along the Autobahn, I like that not feeling alone ;-) Afterwards I headed uphill to the forest, and about 1:20h later I accepted a higher pace and really ran to my home. I felt really good during that run, I didn't have that good feeling for more than 2 weeks, it was the first time since then that it wasn't such hot and humid. I am really NOT a heat runner, I read in a sports magazine that for hot weather your body has to work a certain percentage more compared to when it's cool, I don't remember that percentage but I think it was around 10-20%. Actually, personnally I feel that I loose about 80% of my power and energy when it's hot... Is that just a mental thing? ;-)
Stats:
Distance: 17k
Time: 1:25:30

Oliver, I couldn't agree MORE! I am terrible in the heat and I too think it takes way more out of me than 20%! Good going and nice to hear from you again! ;)

Mark, I'd like to be as dilligent as you with blogging AND running but at the moment the heat is one thing the other thing is my wife and kids are on vacation and we just moved in April into a new (old) house and there is SO much to do, wow, and w/o kids you can really work ;-)
Good going! I'm sure your speed with help you even with moving. Congratulations!!
