What we don't change today, will change us tomorrow

Yesterday I ran 20k in 2 hrs and 15 mins in the dark. When I finished at 9 pm I recognized I missed some of the 16 km runs when my legs started cramping. Also I might have neglected magnesium-tablets as add ons to the daily food. However, I felt very strong muscelwise. My legs weren't tired or felt week. So my consitent training the last 4 weeks might really have caused some endurance-Strength. ;- )

This week at the spinning class on thursday we had a "mountain session". 1 hour constantly driving at 85 rpm with rising resistance like a mountain. The spinning instructor explained this cadence training is very important for the Ironman-Distance, so that an athlete can work "like a machine".

peak effort of training per week needed for one guy for a 10 hrs ironman = 28 hours
