Vanoggend was ek lus om te gaan draf, maar, o wee, die reën was iets vreesliks gewees. Ek het by ons kombuis eiland gestaan, reeds geklee om te draf, en die reën deur die venster dopgehou. Rondom ons hek, die ene waar ek sou moes deur om buite te kom, het die water poele gestaan. […]

2022/2023 Training Cycle

Thursday, 3 November 2022

I know a traditional Chinese curse that translates to “May you live in interesting times.” This morning’s run was interesting. And I am unsure if that is good or bad — it is only interesting. I thought I had a 45-minute easy run to complete today — which is what my workout’s description was. However, […]

2022/2023 Training Cycle

I considered introducing myself at our morning standup meeting as being dead. My training today was a 40-minute HIIT strength workout. The only exercise I struggled with was the chest-to-floor burpee, but that doesn’t mean it was an easy session. I had ten different activities to do and 30 seconds for each one, but no […]

Vanoggend was ek maar lui gewees om op te staan en te gaan draf. Gisteraand het ek te laat gaan slaap en gevolglik nie lank genoeg geslaap nie. Ek dink dit was maar die rede vir my traagheid. My oefensessie vandag was ‘n 40-minute gemaklike draf. My verwagte pas was 8:49; ek het heelwat stadiger […]

Die Kopskuif

Ek weet almal dink al aan Kersfees ete en vrugtekoek, en Januarie se dieet voel nog baie vêr. Ek besef ook almal wil teen hierdie tyd van die jaar net wees en ophou bekommer oor alles wat “moet” gebeur. Die belangrikste deel van gewig verloor, en vele ander prosesse, is die Kopskuif. Dis hoe om […]

Ek voel dat wanneer ek 5 km (of korter) draf, ek my oranje marathon hempie moet aantrek. Dis sodat, wanneer ek afdraai by die 5 km bordjie, ander nie dink ‘Dis hoe vêr sy al kan draf’ nie. (Net ‘n grappie…) My man reken ek kan dit net vir een jaar doen anders begin dit […]

2022/2023 Training Cycle

Saterdag, 29 Oktober 2022

Ek wens die weer in Kaapstad twee weke terug het gelyk soos die weer vanoggend in Johannesburg. Daar is min dinge so lekker soos om buite te draf wanneer dit saggies reën – al is die versoeking groot om verder te slaap. Vanoggend se oefening was ‘n 10 km draf teen ‘n verwagte gemaklike pas […]

2022/2023 Training Cycle

Thursday, 27 October 2022

Today’s training was a lower-body focussed strength training session – I’ve not had a strength training session in a long time. I found today’s workout challenging but manageable. The only exercises I struggled to do were the split lunge jumps. I also experienced cramps in my legs during the glut bridge raises, which concerns me […]

Ek voel nog nie 100% na laas naweek se marathon nie. Die moegheid vang my nog – ek sal maklik die hele dag om slaap indien ek die kans gegun sou word – en ek is verbaas om bietjie na-marathon “blues” te hê. Ek vermoed dat ek heelwat sout verloor het tydens die marathon. Ek […]
