The after christmas shopping hype is in full effect. A quick visit to my local running shop payed off for me.
Adidas Supernova Glide 2 M for 60EUR – You can not go wrong with that.

This is more than stunning footage by the Astray Film Crew.
Running need clips like that!
Absolutelly love it – Outstanding work
It is nice to come home. To get home is not that nice these days!
The snow chaos and the impact on travelling is crazy.
Finally i made my way home to Germany.
Snow is still falling and makes running nearly impossible.
While working in Cork for the last months i was seeing Rob with my muscular problems in the legs.
If your around Cork and in the need for some serious physio-treatment check out his clinic Physiocise in Charleville. He knows how to move that scar tissue…
Def worth a visit. Helped me a lot!
As i was scanning my hard drive in the hunt for a picture i could not find, i came across some pictures from my trip to Kenya at the start of this year.
As i really like those shots and as it is in great memory i thought i gonna share them here.
Seems so long ago. Time for a little re-fresher in a few days.
Mike Brown published some great shots from last weekends Clonakilty 10k.
Fabian and Hannes a couple of meters before the infamous crossroads. Instead of turning right the marshalls send us straight on, down the road and out of the race.
Not a happy camper. Hard training run finished. Next stop Scannells. Truly a “lovely day for Guiness“…
Me striding out after the extended 10k.
I’m amazed.
He calls himself “Joe Mac“. He has a blog. He has a bet.
Whether it comes down to a bar bet, funneling, drinking, taking shots, girls…or running a fucking sub five minute mile, if you doubt me, I will do it that much harder because Fuck You, that’s why, and that’s typical Joe Mac fashion.
“Joe Mac” wants to run a mile every day. Not spectacular for a start. He wants to run a sub 5 minute mile. 100 days in a row. Trully spectacular that is.
“Joe Mac” is going strong these days!
It’s the fecking weather again.
After all the snow and ice is gone Ireland awaits the next temperature shock. Phrases like “Bitterly cold overnight”, “Very cold wintry weather”, “ice by day and by night” and “Snow showers” in the weather forecast frighten me. The end of the cold white tunnel was so close, now it starts again. And we are just at the middle of december. Tough times ahead.
Lucky enough the Charleville Park Hotel, where im staying during the week, has a good gym. I was never a big fan of treadmill’s but this has changed. Those things give me a new training approach and a new piece of running freedom – Watching live football while running.
The usual 45 minutes run can easily progress into a 15 minute tempo run followed by a 45 minutes jog. Time is flying by for me on the endless road.
Handy enough all core work, stretches and weights can be done easily afterwards. Again another period of my training life. But i can see the boredom on the horizont. Running needs to be outside. For the moment i watch other people running outside – while running.
Just checked the entries for next years Comrades Marathon. I am assigned to the seeding section A. Sounds spectacular and important? I dont think so. 89k from Durban to Pietermaritzburg is a long way and i’m looking forward to it. So many things will happen.
It is also time to get the first idea on race speed. The Comrades Time Prediction gives me a finish time of 6hours 32minutes and 40 secound. That is a pace of 4.24 per kilometer. Should i stick to that info?
