  • Ich laufe Ultramarathon. Das ist keine Sportart die sich zum Live zuschauen eignet, aber ich schaue gerne Dokumentationen. Ich laufe fast jeden Tag und höre dabei Podcasts und Hörbücher. Hauptsächlich laufe ich lange mit entspanntem Tempo, aber ich mache auch Tempoarbeit. Die Wettkämpfe sind sehr entspannt. Die Teilnehmer konkurrieren nicht wirklich miteinander. Jeder kämpft eigentlich gegen die Strecke. Deshalb supported man sich auch gegenseitig.



  • I would prefer the gentle downhill for sure. I tend to think about it in terms of potential energy. Everytime I ascend I store some energy in the form of potential energy. If I descend gently, I can make use of that energy little by little. Every step feels lighter on the way down. If I have to take a steep descend I have to waist the stored energy. If I would use it, I would become too fast and hurt myself. I have to make sure I safely disperse the energy.

    I do not have any preference for a steep vs a gentle climb, though. I have to put in the energy either way


  • Fartleks are usually prescribed without strict timings, rather you need to run them by feeling. To properly choose the right pace you necessarily need some experience. Do a fast pace to the next tree or just raise your pace a little and run to the bench you know is around the next bend in the trail. Mix it up. Have fun, enjoy running, enjoy the speed. You should never be too out of breath to continue running at low effort. If you feel like you started too strong, slow down. If you feel like you left too much in the tank, do the next one faster. You will get to know body better with time, if you stay consistent and healthy.
