Week 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29
ok let’s call it a monthly report … Letting too much time flying by means i lost details of condition and kind of render this exercise (some kind of public training journal) pretty pointless… Week 25 sees my latest stint at gym. It is also the beginning of heatwave, meaning all activities grinded to a…

Weeks 21, 22, 23 and 24 🤦
Time is flying by so fast… the weekly report has turned monthly … Because of heat and too much work, training consistency went down the drain this period. Also i was expecting my new bike to arrive those days, which took it’s time to get delivered, during wich i kind of procrastinated my training. Thanks…

The tools : hardware, OS and environment.
Opening series presenting the tools i use in my daily pro activity as a Linux Sysadmin Hardware: HP elitebook I have recently retired repurposed my previous 15 years old thinkpad as domotic / personal server. Actually using a refurbished HP Elitebook. Not a very good choice. Especially the shiny bright screen on which i can…

Week 18, 19 and 20
Week 18 Thanks to 1st of may 3 day long week-end where i managed 2 runs on saturday and 1 on sunday, weekly workload was decent, although unbalanced toward week-end’s longer and harder runs. I think i am getting a bit bored about z2 training. Since i am in the process of increasing running cadence,…

Of course, the server did not come back online… So the next morning, once onsite i plug a screen on server and instead of a…

Week 15 & 16
On week 15, except monday’s marathon turned half marathon because of poor fitness, i didnot do a single exercise. Work and family got in the way… On saturday 11, put my Five Fingers on and went for city run, without any route planned. I like these kind of runs where body cannot unconsciously adapt to…

Week 14
Lot of work means less time for training, hence training load was very low. For the 1st time in almost a month, my fatigue level goes over fitness, thanks to a 3 day week-end loaded with trailruns in the hills of Claveisolles (44k, 2600 mEG in 3 days). A bit disappointed by fitness level during this…

Week 13
I made decision to definitely fix this recurring back pain. Got appointment with doctor who send me to kinesiotherapy. 1st meeting – evaluating causes goes very well. They suspect insufficient core strength, which fails to protect the back during overloading phase (carrying heavy stuff and overtraining…). Next meeting is next week, i should get a…

1st gravel experience
On Saturday i rented a gravel bike, to have a glimpse of what it’s like to ride a good, fully functional bike. My daily commute is done on a Brompton. I can do good speed with it, but i’ve never done more than 25k with it, without much EG. My longer rides (mostly summer family…
