On my Father‘s Day Run, I put on my motivation shirt from Norseman 2005 and just cruised around and tried out some new track parts. After 21 km my hydration status felt down to the red zone. The last 3 km uphill were the hell. Fortunately I had to cross the small river „Rur“, where I could drink some fresh and cold water 🙏🏼. Usually I don‘t have any desire for an ice cold beer, but today 😅🤪! #pushathletiktraining #marathontraining #marathoncoach #energysystemdevelopment #rureifel #nideggen #heimbach (hier: Nideggen-Brück Mit Blick auf die Burg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdgBzHBdID/?igshid=1n3aqjkbz2y3q

A short recovery run before my 10 hours night shift with another estimated 20,000 to 25,000 resisted steps! #nomercy #challengeyourself #staypositive #pushathletiktraining #marathoncoach #laufcoachdueren #nideggen #rureifel #stryd #strydrunning #runwithpower https://www.instagram.com/p/B-93quhhEcO/?igshid=hnbjcyv2wdlo

A good end of Eastern Training with 43.5 km from Nideggen through the Kallvalley around the Kall- Waterreservoir. Sunny, blue sky, nice spots to view alongside the small river and the waterreservoir, what do you need more to let it roll? #pushathletiktraining #marathoncoach #marathontraining #endurancetraining #energysystemtraining #laufcoachdueren #nideggen #simonskall #kalltrail #rureifel #noexcuses #trainhardfighteasy #pushyourlimits (hier: Kalltalsperre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7r52HBEue/?igshid=r7yms54hwacv

Today I had to do my weekly HIIT Session. This time I decided to perform Long Shuttles (800m+) in HIT Zone 1, in my case between 101 to 106 % of critical power (321 Watts). As my track was not flat it was quite challenging to hold the power inside the zone when the elevation of the terrain changed within the intervals. From pushing slowly and powerful uphill to running with a very high cadence downhill and a high need of concentration and proprioception. Most time I pushed harder than necessary, because I was afraid of falling below my threshold. Fortunatly I was able to push through all intervals as I planned, so it was a very effective session to increase my VO2max. 💪🏻🔥💥🚀 #pushathletiktraining #transalpinerun #zugspitzultratrail #trailrunning #marathoncoach #endurancetraining #energysystemtraining #strengthandconditioning #laufcoachdueren #marathonvorbereitung #pushyourlimits #noexcuses #trainhardfighteasy #trainlikeapro #firstbeat #garminconnect #trainingpeaks #stryd #runwithpower https://www.instagram.com/p/B-45c7Bh8Ml/?igshid=cpnb0ev0h16m

Not enough time for recovery results in a low status of your body battery which means less power and an increased risk of injuries. Today I had such an effect and decided not to follow my trainingplan with long shuttle HIIT. Instead I decided to do a short run. Every km counts! #pushathletiktraining #transalpinerun #marathontraining #marathoncoach #noexcuses #trainhardfighteasy #nogutsnoglory https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ud5wuh0eh/?igshid=14ed8jo2g4ru0

Best weather conditions to do a FatMax Run on the nice hiking tracks around my home village of Nideggen before I dive into my Coronajob in a big logistic centre with artificial light and around 10 km walk distance additional to my training today. Stay flexible and allways try to focus on the shiny side of the medal! 💪🏻 #pushathletiktraining #marathoncoach #marathontraining #trailrunning #ultratrailrunningtraining #noexcuses #trainhardfighteasy #stayflexible #mentalskillscoach #bepositive #fightcorona (hier: Stausee Obermaubach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rkBNABtRq/?igshid=gj7tyg90923z

A hard week ended today with a 31 km FatMax Run through the forrest of „Huertgenwald“ together with my new Trans Alpine Run teammate „Seb“. It was a great day and very hard at the end, because I had no time to eat before the run, just a piece of gouda and a fast coffee with milk. But I like challenging myself and pushing my limits! #pushathletiktraining #transalpinerun #marathontraining #trailrunning #huertgenwald #pushyourlimits #marathoncoach #trainhardfighteasy #unstoppable #challengeyourself #firstbeat #garminconnect #rureifel #noexcuses (hier: Hürtgenwald) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-nKPY-h10u/?igshid=8gpwu4dzd9g0

This is how a HIIT should look like on your performance sheet! In this case I did VO2max Intervals - Short Shuttles - 2 x 10 x 60s. Load (106 to 130% of Critical Power)/ 60s. active Rest (70 to 80% of Critical Power) It was a very hard session and a great way to push myself to the limit! I love it 🚀! #pushathletiktraining #transalpinerun #trainhardfighteasy #nothingwillstopme #marathontraining #marathoncoach #energysystemdevelopment #nideggen #firstbeat #vo2maxtraining #pushyourlimits #noexcuses (hier: Nideggen Eifel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-X21zeBgfT/?igshid=1vvcx8i5vuxx1
