another care package just arrived from the heart of the big apple.
Lunar´s are the shit! The best running shoes at the moment!

generaly speaking i´m not a huge fan of special diet´s or nutrition.
the only “specials” i use are gel´s. the only brand that does the job for me there is from switzerland and is called SPONSER (NOT sponsor…). their stuff is brilliant and after tests with losts of different brands my stomach elected SPONSER. i never looked back since.
with a full-time job and full-time training recovery is not very easy. lack of sleep and long hard working days in the office combined with running in the evenings dont support rest very much. so i thought about giving the body a bit help. sure, sleep is the best thing but at the moment i try a “recovery” drink.
a friend suggested the new PowerBar and Lion (yes, the deadly bar!) recovery drink. after a weeks of using it i´m pretty happy. i dont actually feel a boost in general but it seems that the protein gives my body a bit of extra recovery. i tried another protein drink a year ago and throw it away after the first sip. the lion/powerbar thingy taste just brilliant.
olympic triathlon champ jan frodeno shows how to stretch and when.

after a (weather-wise) deadly saturday i was happy that sunday stayed dry.
I went out for the wicklow200. roughly 2.500 cyclist made their way from DCU Dublin around county wicklow.
my personal “discovery of the day” was the freebie from PowerBar – the Ride Shots, so deadly. i think i ate 4 packs…
Brilliant day out!
After wins at Milan-Sanremo, Paris-Roubaix, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Giro di Lombardia , Gent-Wevelgem, Vuelta a España, Paris-Nice, Tour de Suisse and many more, sean kelly and his (very stylish) principia also made the way to wicklow…
The “heatwave” is in full effect.
cycling again today. 6 Hours around dublin’s “bike park” – the wicklow mountains. clear skys and sun right from the start. what more can you ask for?
today i went out with a group of three. aisling and rob who are preparing for ironman switzerland alongside the almighty liam. good craig at all…
also i have to give credits to my bike. since 2,5 years im riding a Canyon Ultimate CF Pro 7.0 and im still very happy with this reliable piece of koblenz carbone.
“soup break” with nick.
On top of Glenmalure or the “Shay Elliott”
what can i say? the summer is here.
out for 4,5 hours around the mighty wicklow mountains. i rode parts of the upcoming wicklow 200.
looking forward to that one next weekend.
The weather was insane today. rushed to get out of the office and went out for 3 hours on the bike around county wicklow. the blessington lakes were just stunning in the evenning.
finally the latest paul kalkbrenner album, berlin calling, found the way on my ipod. the record was the perfect soundtrack for the little cruise. especially “sky and sand“…
more sun please, ireland can be so nice…
my calfs best friend at the moment is the almighty DEEP HEAT.
Im warming up my weakest body part constantly with that creme. its working. there will be running soon.
weather is brilliant at the moment so im really back in the bike mood. i really enjoy the spins. it keeps the fitness and doesnt hurt the calf.
low gear and high frequence is the key. keps the legs spinning…
Still resting. I feel better but i prefer to not run at the moment. My right calf is not back to 100% so i try to recover completely this time.
To maintain a certain fitness it´s biking and swiming only at the moment.
I dont rush things. No big races are lined up in the very near future so i can relax and wait for the calf to get back to 100%!
The main thing that keeps me motivated is the outlook to the 1st of november – New York City Marathon. The spot is safe. The flights are booked.
Im so keen on running new york – state of mind!
