A very decent weekend
We went to a training camp this weekend. Arrived Friday evening and missed the Friday run which was a leisure 18km run in and around the forest. Saturday, three sessions were planned and conducted :-) A 9km morning run before breakfast, which started at 8am. At 2pm we had our 1000m interval training with 500m jogging in between. I did 8x1k in (3:55, 3:50, 3:45, 4:12, 4:08, 4:04, 3:35 and 3:24). It was very winds and the headwind was so strong that we could not get below 4min pace on these stretches. Very happy, specially with the final two km! In the evening, we did 10km before we headed to the Italian Restaurant. They served great pizza there and had handmade ice-cream as well. Today, the plan was to run 32km. I think there were only 3km flat on this course. My impression was that most of the course was uphill, which I know is physically impossible. But still, the hills were really, really mean. But, 5 of us managed the distance. 6 of us did the 24km shorter version and Christiane did 31km on a different course with Heidi. Was a terrific experience and we enjoyed every single minute! Ran a total of 136 km this week. Very happy since I had to skip most of the sessions last week due to a cold. The picture shows the Nuclear Power Plant Grundremmingen which is ca. 10 km away from the Stettenhof, where we stayed. The Power Plant has two reactors, but I heard that only one reactors is online. The other was shut down due to technical issues. Looks like this is where clouds are made...

Good run Sunday after the intervals the day before!
Technical issues....means: we have a big problem we don't want to tell you about.
Sunday was tough, really tough.
Yes, you are right , Bob. An I am not so happy about these "technical issues"... This plant is supposed to be shut down 2022. I say: don't wait that long!
Well done...nice bit of running.
What is your target time for the half?
Good luck
