RunEasy13521P 076.3300:53:01Started in the rain, ended in the sunshine. Did some video shooting during the run. L. didn't have much time and I decided not to continue when she had to go, because my intestines were telling me to hurry up home too... ;-)
SkateInline13519P 0724.0201:39:18The first inlining this year. I am usually a bit uncomfortable during these first inline trips, so I was surprised how stable I felt and how quickly I gained confindence again. I was having a good time, no clue what will come on the way back. I was on a one of the smoothest parts of the path, so I was going pretty fast, when I saw a branch across the whole path. It wasn't that thick, so I planned to jump over it. But when I came closer, I saw that it's moving - it was a big snake! No time to think, just a quick instinctive decision not to jump over it, because I'm not such a good jumper on the skates and I was afraid that if I come too close to it, it might bite me. As it was moving forward I decided to sneak behind its tail. But it was so long that there wasn't enough space, so I got off the asphalt path. Miraculously balanced it and then got back on the path. Almost got heart attack...
But it wasn't the last dangerous moment of my trip. A couple of minutes later a very strong wind came. It was very ...

RunTempo13518P 0712.0101:19:08Once I've got a new chest strap for my HRM, there's no excuse for not running also the "faster" pace from my growing plan. So here we go:

3k @ 140 (7:08/km)
6k @ 160 (6:00/km) - the highest intensity I currently run at besides testing
3k cool dowm

The most of the time with Nikie, the first 10k also with another friend who ran her first 10k. On the 19th km N. felt like speeding up and I let her go and ran on on the lower intensity. Really enjoyed the event, the organizers did a great job.

RunRecovery Run13324A 1011.0801:31:23Soooo sore after yesterday's MovNat. The whole body hurts. Even at night each move woke me up. I can't remember being so sore all over my body ever.
Hoped that some gentle run would help with recovery. However the strong wind didn't make it much gentle...
RunGeneral13323P 033.5000:45:00Running was supposed to be the easiest skill for me. Especially taking into account that running technique trained in MovNat is based on Pose method with which I've been trying to practice. Well, it was probably the easiest part for me, but my body was already so tired and sore that when it came to run some 400s keeping the right technique it was quite challenging.

Outdoor session:
Assements
Exercises in pairs
- leaning forward
- upright position
Running and adjusting the technique according to the feedback from the instructor
CrossOther13323A 090.0006:00:00When I first came across MovNat (www.movnat.com) it immediatelly grabbed my attention. I really liked its concept - training the full range of our natural human movement abilities while the main focus is on refining the movements to do them in the most effective way. I was even considering attending some MovNat event abroad as there are no certified trainers here. Meanwhile I found out that the guys from Vivobarefoot Mirak were going to organize two MovNat events. So I signed up and today was the D-day. It was amazing! My whole body hurts, but it was totally worth it.

Yeah, although we all know the benefits of slowing down there's something that make us pushing it... I'm not different so I like to read those supportive articles. If anybody's interested I'd like to point out Mark Allen's article on heart rate training (6 time Ironman world champion should know something about endurance training ;-)) and there's although a nice reading by Dr. Mark Cucuzzella (director of Natural Running Centre (one of my favourite running websites) who happen to consistently (for 24 years) clock 2:30 - 2:40 marathons).

But after about 5k I realized that I don't feel like running through crowded Poděbrady to the spring, but rather feel like LSD. So I relaxed my pace and when I reached the bridge in Podebrady I ran on and finally ended up running my inline skating route.

I didn't have any water or food with me, so I took it really easy. Felt good. I like when I don't push it and running just happens. At the end I became a bit thirsty and hungry, but it wasn't too dramatic and I was already close to home. If I went longer I would have stopped for a drink on the way back, but I didn't, because I didn't want to get cold.

RunLong Run12107A 1030.1402:56:24When I found out that there's 30 km race during Budapest Marathon, it seemed to me that it might be interesting to try it, because it seems neither too long nor too short (and therefore fast).

I took it easy, being aware that I haven't run much lately. Besides I was quite tired of walking Budapest the day before, so I held back. Even when Nikie speeded up after about 22nd km I kept a comfortable pace and simply enjoyed the run. I could feel the lack of training but not too dramatically. I was still able to speed up after the last refreshment station quite significantly, so it seems that 30 km distance is quite forgiving.

Unfortunatelly they screwed up timing and therefore our official net times are about 100 minutes longer and rankings completely off. :-( But who cares...

RunLong Run12929P 0418.2002:22:09Had a pain in my hip for the first about 14 km, so I wasn't running as lightly as I wished, but most of the route was on the lonely paths or in a forest, which is precious for me, so I had a pretty good time. Running in the grass in a heavy rain didn't turn up to be a good idea, but still better than another road run. Besides running in the soaked shoes and socks could be considered a strength training, especially when taking into account all the mud and send that I was carrying on my shoes. ;-)

RunRace12922P 1210.0800:55:00Ran as a pacer for 55:00 (official time). Very nice route (although not fast), but very difficult for pacing. No kilometer signs, no time displayed above the start line, jams during the first 1500 m, lots of corners, a part of the route under the trees, the first round a bit different than the second one... I was trying my best, but there was nothing that I could use to assess my pace during the race. I just used my experience to estimate the deviation of my watch and paced myself accordingly, but it was just my intuition that can be wrong... Fortunately it wasn't. I ran exactly 55:00 gun time (real time about 54:30), Felt good, so all in all nice race.

RunRace1298P 065.0800:24:292nd anniversary race since my frst 5k.

A little bit of history:

2010:

2011:
Real time 25:04, ranking: 138 out of 1485

Neither good neither tragic time. It perfectly corresponds to my "training", so concerning time no surprise. Maybe just a little dissappointment from my technique, but it's not that big issue as sometimes I simply can't get into the right stride. Anyway I improved again and 30 seconds on 5k count. ;-)

Mechovská perla nechť je takovým závodem, v němž jsou všichni vítězi už tím, že se postaví na její start (musí však také proběhnout cílem). Proto není vůbec důležité, kolikátý kdo doběhne a v jakém čase. Je-li čas důležitý pro něj, ať si jej zapíše, anály Mechovské perly jej uvádět nebudou.

Mechovská perla může být pro každého, bude-li to jeho přání, závodem (bodem), který si ponese ode dneška ve svém srdci.

RunLong Run12828A 0917.3502:31:48The frustration continues. Tried whether the pain in my foot would improve and it didn't. The first part of the run was flat, so it didn't hurt that much, but when we went hills (both up and down) I wasn't able to land on the ball of my foot. I considered walking back, but the pain was the same or even worse as when I was running, so I ran.
Felt incredibly strong, had lots of energy, ran up the hill where some others were walking, even though I could actively use only one leg, felt light, but it was sooo painful that I didn't enjoy it at all and I was looking forward to the end of the run all the time (therefore I was running so fast that I led the group).
In the afternoon I had my feet checked by a podiatrist and worked on by a physio who came to have a presentation for our group and the results are quite optimistic in the long term. Running shouldn't make it worse, but the pain is altering my stride pretty badly, that leads to overusing other structures, so I've decided to skip tomorrow's longrun...
RunGeneral12828A 073.0500:36:13Can't describe how frustrated I am. Was so happy that the knee settled down yesterday, but only until I found out that I can't step on my right foot. Well I can, but there's a sharp pain somewhere in my metatarsals. Tried running and it was bearable as long as I didn't go up the hill. When running up the hill I had to stop several times...

Then I decided to go barefoot and found out that the surface is very challenging... Propriception is a good thing but enough is enough, so after 1100 m I slipped back into my x-talons.

CrossOther12619A 090.0001:30:00Slacklining has attracted my attention for quite a while but until today I had never tried it.

Although I didn't make the line long (only about 6 m) at first my leg was uncontroltably shaking (as shown on the most instruction videos) and I wondered how I would get on that damn line. But I somehow worked it out, so I can report some first achievements. ;-)

- Could get on the line and stabilize on one leg using both left and right leg as the dominant leg - at first only near the end of the line and then also in the middle.
- Managed to take two steps and stay balanced (about twice).
- And most importantly: I have learnt that the falls aren't beyond my control, so I don't have to be afraid of falling down. ;-)

Now I plan to take it one step at a time. Literally. So my next goal is to be able to make one step and stay balanced. I can already do it, but my success is probably less than 10%.

RunRace1269P 0721.3901:59:20I was running as a pacer for 2:00 official time. I had known this half marathon wouldn't be a piece of cake since I've blocked my sacrum on Thursday evening.

Irritated nerve was giving me hard time. It didn't allowed me to keep a good form and it was causing annoying pain im my leg. I still could run, but I wasn't enjoying it at all. Having to run at a specific pace didn't help much either. So instead of on myself I focused on keeping the pace (which wasn't easy as the GPS devices were quite off on this route) and on the group that was running with me.

I have to admit that when I crossed the finish line I was glad it was over. However the final 500 m when I was pushing the people to the finish line was a great reward and I am sure that in a couple of months I will remeber these moments rather than others.

RunRun-Walk12522P 078.0201:15:30I was running and suddenly felt like walking, so I walked and then felt like climbing up a tree so I climbed up a tree and ran and walked... No need to push it, just wanted to relax in the fresh air after the rain and move a little bit.
SkateInline12519A 1016.2601:06:39Opted for x-training. Not a good choice to go skating today. There was a canoeing race, so the first (and the last) 2k were totally jammed - impossible to skate, had to "walk" through the crowd. Then it was better, but as usually when it is such a nice weekend day, it was crowded and there was also the whole bunch of idiots who don't care about safety and behave like if they were the only ones on the route. So had to stop very often and be really alert all the time and couldn't just relax and enjoy skating.

Whenever it was possible I focused on the balance trying to glide as long as possible. Seems I'm improving. Wonder, whether it will be a transferable skill to xc-skiing.
RunRecovery Run12518P 095.1700:33:44Legs were pretty fine, but felt tired - 30 minutes were just enough.

CrossClimbing12516P 060.0001:00:00I didn't believe I would be able to go climbing but since Tuesday I was feeling that my legs are getting better and better every few hours. So I gave it try and I actually climbed some routes.

BikeTurbo Trainer12514A 108.8300:31:41Nice sunny day - great for some nice easy jogging, but I have problems to walk - can't imagine running.
BikeTurbo Trainer12513P 085.3100:20:03Otherwise I wouldn't walk tomorrow....
RunRace12513A 0942.5204:08:23I think I can feel special now, because as we all know: "Every idiot can run, but it takes a special kind of idiot to run a marathon." ;-)

As I expected I didn't have any problems with speed, but I lacked endurance, because I didn't really trained for a marathon and didn't go any 30+ long run before. So took the path of the least resistance - go as far as I can at the most comfortable pace and then somehow get to the finish line.

At km 30 I was still 2:05 ahead of 4:00:00 pace, but after about 32 km I couldn't keep proper form anymore and therefore I slowed down, because the pace I was running before wasn't the most efficient pace anymore. I gave up any time ambitions, just made sure I'll keep it sub 4:15 to win a dinner with Miloš Škorpil. Surprisingly at 35 km I was still keeping the 4:00:00 pace, but then I was hurting like crazy and I was glad that I made it to the finish.

RunLong Run1251A 1028.4203:00:38I didn't want to start tapering phase before a marathon knowing that:
a) I haven'r run any long run.
b) During my last longer run I wasn't able to control my right leg since about 11th km and therefore finished drained after 21 km.

So I needed another run for a peace of mind. It wasn't continuous run and I took it easy, as it was hot as hell. I had two longer stops that are not included in the log - a big glass of water and a wafer in Kersko and an ice cream and some more water at the Sadská lake. Otherwise I was eating and drinking all the time (2 dates and some water each 2.5 km), because I didn't have breakfast. Felt pretty good, just tired from the hot (and maybe a lack of sleep in the last days). Hope for a colder day for the marathon.

Btw it was a really nice route, mostly offroad - lots of grass and soft paths (although some of them a bit too soft - 400 m on a sand after 23k was quite tough ;-)).

RunLong Run12429A 0921.3302:53:58Two runs combined into one. As there were different levels of runners, we ran different routes. At first 10k, then we returned to the Želiv monastery where we lived. One group finished there and we continued for another 12k around the Trnávka dam. Both runs were mostly trail runs with several hills. Really nice routes with beautiful views.

I had some sciatica problems again. Started before the run, released during the first run and then returned during the second one, so I wasn't able to fully engage my right leg. Due to this, the pain in my hip and leg, hot and the difficult terrain I was glad when we returned.
RunRace12428A 115.0900:25:215.14 km @ 25:25

Spent the weekend at the running weekend with the Miloš Škorpil's Running School. Together with other participants joined the local race. Didn't take it too serious and planned to go easy. Started at the pace that was supposed to be easy, but I am neither good at rolling courses nor at estimating my pace on such courses, so it wasn't as easy as I wished. I wasn't pushing it to my limits, but I was happy that it was only 5.14 k as I was tired and my legs felt heavy. Finished 5th out of 21 women.

RunRace12414P 1221.1901:49:12Still felt as sick as during the warm up, so I skipped the last energy bar I am used to have before the race, but otherwise I was feeling strong. So I've tried to push it and squeeze it under 1:50:00. Although it was a bit ambitious goal I was running really well and was ahead of plan all the time. At the end I was drained (maybe a lack of energy due to a skipped energy bar, maybe tired of being sick all the time or maybe just ran faster than I should) and I had to push it to keep the pace, so instead of speeding up dramatically as I like to before finish, I speeded up just a little bit to make absolutely sure that I wouldn't end up on the road as I started to feel a little bit dizzy (I have a low blood pressure and it probably dropped a bit more). That dizziness went away in a few minutes after the finish, but still feeling a bit sick now, although much better after I had a proper meal when we came to Nymburk.

RunTempo1249P 058.0500:54:02Some time ago I've read this quote: "The only time I feel runner's high, is after I stop running." That could apply to this run except for that I didn't felt runner's high neither after. Hip in pain, felt drained both before and after and as a bonus some problem with my pinkie toe. There must bad days, so that we could fully appreciate the good ones. However I still believe that I'll be ok for the half in Pardubice.

RunEasy1247P 069.5001:02:48Keeping it easy. Although I knew I will have to fight strong wind on the way back, decided to go on the other side of the river which is completely unprotected. At some moments it was like running on a treadmill. ;-) But I don't mind the head wind when I'm running easy and don't care about the pace. It was much easier than skating against the wind the last weekend.

My Garmin didn't have a good day. Apart from totally messed heart rate data as usually (haven't had time to buy a new HR belt yet), it lost satellite reception for a significant part of the journey, so a big part of the speed/distance data comes from a foot pod. Surprisingly the foot pod data are pretty accurate.

BikeTurbo Trainer12331P 098.2500:25:19+ lots of compensation exercises and stretches

RunEasy12327P 0610.3501:10:27Group training with TV shooting. The plan was 4 k in half marathon pace. I went easy with the girls who wanted to try out the pace that I will go on Saturday. It was impossible to hold'em back, so we went a bit faster than on Sunday, but still a pretty relaxed pace. As I wasn't very good in starting and stopping my watch, the log includes breaks and doesn't include some parts of the run, so I have corrected the total distance according to Jarda.

RunLong Run12324A 1116.2001:39:09Initially I wanted to go right from Milovice, but I have planned my route through the little paths and when I found out that the battery in my phone is almost completely flat, I doubted that I could make it without navigation or map. As I didn't like an idea to run on the roads, my brother in law took me to Stratov and I ran from there. That means that most of the time I was running along the Elbe as usually, but this part is much more interesting than the one where I usually run, because most of the way there's no asphalt.

Tried to keep the half marathon pace for the next week. I suppose that as a pacer for 2:10 I will have to run at about 6 min/km with slight correction according to the difference between the real and official time. So after I warmed up I tried to keep 6 min/km. It was quite tiring to keep the pace that wasn't not completely natural to me, especially in such a hot weather, but I am happy with the result.

Considering that about a half of the tempo part was on the grass and I was running with a backpack, I was quite fast. However I wasn't able to relax and keep a good form, so it was a hard work and I missed the feeling of lightness I had during the last couple of runs.
CrossClimbing12321P 060.0000:30:00This lesson wasn't much "physical". We spent the first hour with theory and practicing the knots and clipping the quickdraws. The second hour we were practicing lead climbing.

RunGeneral12320P 0510.9401:05:48Didn't want to push it so I went 2k warm up and then entertained myself by trying to keep the exact pace. Started at 6:00/km and then each next km 5 seconds faster. It's good to know how each pace feels. Although I did well in keeping the pace the biggest success today was to make it home to the toilet just in time. I guess you understand that there are situations, when the right pacing is even more crucial than during the training. ;-))

RunIntervals12318P 0512.3401:14:52During the last couple of months I've made a great leap despite not running that much. It was thanks to improving my running form. However I still can't keep the best possible form for longer distances, so I believe there is still a huge potential for improvement. Once I am able to keep it for the whole time I'll be able to significantly cut my times or save energy.

Today I ran a few intervals focusing on keeping the best form I can during the whole interval. I didn't care about my pace, just about the form. Initially I started with 2k interval, but found out it's too long, so I switched to 1k intervals.

RBI was 1k very slow jogging with the intention to refresh as much as possible, because I found necessary to be rested as much as possible when working on form or speed.

2.12 km warm up, stretching

CrossClimbing12316P 040.0000:40:00Trying some sequences that we have learnt in the course. My fingers are still very weak so even when I manage to initiate the moves from my legs and hips and use my arms just to stabilize I can't do more than a couple of steps at a time and then have to take a break. However I figured out one sequence in an overhanging wall which I was unsuccessfully trying several times during the lessons. Due to the lack of grip strength I can't make it in one go yet, but I'm slowly getting there. ;-)
RunWarm Up12316P 033.0500:16:49From time to time I love to have a run without any goal or plan. I just relax and observe my body how it responds to different moves and patterns. When I run barefoot it's much more intense. Love it..
