Wednesday. Two hundred more days until the #marathon from Lisbon. Spring has started, summer is around the corner and the training sessions are not tender. Yesterday, after work, I just went on a bike and rowing machine, worked on my balance under supervision - for example by standing on one leg with my eyes closed - and then turning my eyes on for a nightly recovery.

Got up with the sun this morning to first take a leisurely walk, followed by some quiet miles with slight accelerations at regular intervals. The route started rather dry, until I passed the Zuiderpark and looked towards Kijkduin. Once I passed several running groups in the dunes and saw a single chink stranded until, with Scheveningen in my back, I looked for the headwind home.

“Getting Better” is the podcast whose first episodes I've listened to in the past few days. Mainly focused on cyclists, but with general training tips and facts that I can also apply to my training courses. One of the things discussed was the fact that a higher outside temperature increases the average pace. In addition to the temperature itself, this also involves a higher oxygen level and the brain would thrive better on happy clouds in relation to autumn storms. Encouraging, because Portugal. So that.

The guided balance exercises are part of the yoga flow that I started to help me when I want to do something but don't want to work up a sweat. A beginner's program provided by the Training app from #Adidas in addition to strength training. Stay tuned for more developments and, above all, progress. Have a great day!
