  • Wee… Monthly report 😅

    Already a month gone since last post. Fortunately, i have started a daily journal (using daily-U application) to monitor food, sleep, mood, sport, among other things, so i can remember. A month ago our vacations were coming slowly to their end, with a couple days in Brittany, having a glimpse at the eclipse, and suffering…

  • OSMand and Element Wahoo GPS

    I usually do my route planning using bikerouter.de , export the GPX to phone, open GPX file using Element application, and voilà … But sometimes i need to do it on the move. My favorite mobile bike and running application is OSMand+ . The “Plan a route” feature is quite good. Unfortunately, i found out…

  • 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…

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • Week 12

    back pain, busy week, low morale: recipe for a quiet week. Fortunately i manage a few bike commutes. Weekly load 190. definitely not enough to maintain fitness : i spend the whole week in the blue “fresh” range of intervals.icu fitness graph. The week end with an HM (https://masto.bike/@randomized/116273602974247856) not a z2 one, but still…

  • Week 11

    Still struggling with back pain. Total load 270. Mostly biking (indoor and commuting). By end of week i manage a few cautious treadmill runs. I feel confident for an outdoor adventure on the week-end. On sunday, after a false start due to back pain, after warming up i start again, i end up doing 17k…
