I have to word this carefully as I do not want it to sound pessimistic. I find things don’t work for me as it does for others. When I rest, I become unfit quickly. Although it was hard work training for a marathon, marathon training caused me to run slower. I know we were training […]

Vanoggend se oefening was ‘n uur-lange draf – gemaklike pas, niks vreemds of nuut nie. Ek bekommer dat ons nou weer begin met oefensessies van ‘n uur of meer in die middel van die week. Dit blý maar iets wat vir my moeilik is om in te pas. Maar dis óók nou weer waar die […]

Today’s training was a 40-minute strength session. My workout included sets of hold, flow and high-energy exercises. I found the hold exercises in each set the most strenuous. There were squat, plank, lunge, pilates-hundreds (I am unsure if this name is correct) and bear-crawl positions to hold for as long as 40 seconds at a […]

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. […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
