After I had sent personal Christmas greetings to people until about 4 o'clock in the morning, I went back to work after 6 hours of sleep.
At Christmas there is always a lot going on in a restaurant. We were already booked up for Christmas since September and correspondingly there was a lot to do.
Without going into details, I went for a quick run after work before returning to the restaurant for lunch. The training is just on priority number 1 at the moment, even before food!!!
Sounds strange, but that's how it is. My high volume in the training plan really seems to affect my hunger. I have less appetite and really only eat when I'm hungry. But then just right, without half things.
Running training
For today a long relaxed endurance run over 10 kilometres was on the agenda.
I dressed accordingly for a 2°C outside temperature:
Armed with an undershirt and a long-sleeved t-shirt, I ran off relaxed and slowly increased my speed after the first kilometre. Until kilometer 4 the run felt deeply relaxed, although the pace was under 6min/km. A progress for me.
Towards kilometre 7 I accelerated a bit. You can tell by the heartbeat rather than by the pace, as it was going uphill. But overall I am more than satisfied with my performance. I'm getting better!
The track was completed without any problems and with an average pulse of 146 beats per minute at 5:47min/km. If you consider that this was inclusive of running in and out, I'm really positively surprised by myself. I almost ran too slowly. Next time I should pick up a little more speed.
Reward
After dinner I took a nice shower before I went back to the restaurant to fill my stomach.
The main course was cabbage rolls and lamb. I chose the lamb and ate about 4 portions. In addition some baked potatoes. Extremely tasty.
I also hit the dessert, but not too much, because I didn't want to throw away the calories that had just been released. So I ate from each piece of cake, which I found only a piece. ROFL
Of course I earned that ;-)
Tomorrow I will work again, train strength and swim. A full day also needs full energy reserves ;-)
What did I learn today:
- I now know what the flower of a winter cactus looks like :D
- otherwise only secondary about training from my book
