Running the Hills of Luxembourg
We’re spending the weekend in Luxembourg and that’s always an excellent opportunity to experience hills and train a bit differently than normal. Today I went for a training in the hills around Grosbous, Luxembourg. Started out going uphill without any warm-up, so I relaxed a bit before starting to work hard. In this area it’s up, down, up, down – …
Equipment Series: Cold Legs?
One of the great things about triathlon is that you get to have loads of gadgets and stuff, which is just all about doing the sport. In this update I’ll talk about my most recent visit to sports retailer Decathlon and what I got out of that. So, I had a gift card for Decathlon more than a year ago, …
Swim practice
Just had a swim session at the local pool. Practiced another 2+ kilometers of crawl strokes and worked specifically on doing the stroke under water with the shoulder rather than the elbow – a problem I’ve had forever.

I include intervals in my training because they tend to be excellent at improving speed. …

And how very nice that was! http://www.endomondo.com/embed/workouts?w=i-uFXe4mjXE&width=250&height=350A colleague of mine from LogMeIn extended the courtesy of sharing some of his fitness and pulling me around an 11km route in the area. During the past 10 days my changed …
6 Months without Coffee
Today marks the day that I’ve been off the coffee for 6 months and I thought it might be a good time to talk a bit about it. I’ll tell why I quit and what that brought me both in work, private life and endurance sports. I’ve been speaking to a number of people recently about the pros and cons …
