Getting into shape – a problem for time-pressed individuals

Endurance sports are very trendy and, so is triathlon for example. But how do we all who are busy all day long achieve the training volumes of 12 to 14 hours per week, a minimum that is assumed necessary to race a long distance triathlon race or a marathon? There are different approaches to what is considered efficient training. Some of the elite athletes are convinced that long training cycles are necessary to get into good form, while others favor qualitatively high-intensity training sessions. The proof of concept is still missing, because there are athletes in either group who are successful, as there are those who are not. Continue Reading →

Chris Solinksy’s performance encourages the big guys

Chris Solinsky, last weekend, was the first American runner below the 27-minute barrier over 10,000m. Solinsky is the heaviest runner ever to break 27 minutes, and by some margin too. Solinsky is a relative giant at 73 kg to the runners above him.  Bekele at 54 kg, Gebrselassie (56 kg), Tergat (63kg) and Sammy Wanjiru (52kg) are some of the names on that list.
There are only 30 men in history who have done it, but Solinsky is 9 kg heavier than the next heaviest guys (Mohammed Mourhit and Mark Bett at 64 kg).  In other words, until Solinsky, nobody heavier than 65kg had run sub-27 minutes, which is quite remarkable! Continue Reading →

After a long day of talking and with I all my due respect !

Today we had a meeting marathon day … discussing a lot about how to get our biestmilch messages across without ending up in the middle of nowhere. After 10 years of developing and improving my communication skills I am used to the fact that I may end up in the desert, unintentional, taking a high risk of being laughed at and being taught lessons by those who know it better… and my goodness there are a lot of this kind out there. To be intimidated and give in … uff, difficult ! Continue Reading →
