Current training status

Actually there's not much time to update my blog but i still continue with training which is mainly running and swimming. I don't think that there will be big problems with the bike, hence i will improve my swimming techniques and my bones while running.

since the last month i went swimming twice or three times a week between 9 and 10pm and saturday from 11-12am. my current speed for 2km of crawl is 45 minutes and for 50m something about 50 seconds. during the last months i was always swimming longer distances. but due to a hint by a professional, it's better to do stuff like: 10x50m with good speed. the reason is, that you improve your techniques because there's always enough power to maintain the stability of your whole body for all of the 50m. on the other hand, during longer distances from a certain point, there your general stability gets worse and your simming style maybe adapts to this quite bad situation. so i actually do 400m to become warm, do 10x50m and after that whatever i want...

running is continuous but actually not the very best. i takes ~22min for 5km and 48min for 10km. once i tried 14km but had big problems with my right knee. but these aches has gone away after a few hours. so i plan to run only 2-3 times of 10km a week.

by the way, i feel good but it's very hard for me to go running after 9pm when the four kids are in bed and i worked the whole day before. but it works - and i have to. at 13.07. there's an IRONMAN. :)))
and i won't do all those crazy sports stuff short before midnight without any date like this...
