The Ironman Frankfurt winner of 2012 has been decided and now the focus is back on 2013. Easier said than done because after the Ironman Zürich last year I decided to take a little break of serious training. Voluntarily? More or less... After the 4 mile in 2011, the first time in my life, I had a running injury (overstressed Achilles heel). Nevertheless I kept training (not that smart I know by know). So at the last part,the marathon, in Zürich I had a pretty tough time and even considered to step out because the pain was getting almost too much.
For the Ironman Zürich Richard and I tried to make a combined fan page on Facebook, it was fun to see how different we two approach to host such a page and of course how different we thought we train but at the end it was not that different.
Richard started an own blog in Dutch which I really like (http://eigenwijzerman.blogspot.nl).
At the present arrived Richard, Jan Willem and I subscribed for the Ironman Frankfurt 2013 ( the same group of Zürich).
For the Ironman Frankfurt I tried to write my own training schedule and here I will try to document my ideas and set backs of an own training schedule on a weekly basis.
The last two years I bought a training schedule, for Almere and the Ironman Zürich. For both triathlons it was good but I never had the feeling to have gone as deep as I think I can go. I have looked at different plans and books; eventually I decided to try it my own way.
At the moment I have the problem to get in the trainings mode again, find your rhythm. I even have taken this in my schedule 4 to 6 weeks getting started :). The plan started like 3 weeks ago, so half time. Looking back and looking forward I have not found a thing looking at the mode or rhythm. But on the bright side I still have 3 weeks to find it - according to the plan :).
