Wednesday, 27 February 2008. Mountain Biking - alternate training 1. It's still officially winter in Europe, but on Sunday, spring-like temperatures were forecast, with a maximum in Chur of 20°C expected. With this infamous leg injury of mine still plaguing me, I decided last week, it was time I started doing so-called cross-training - i.e. other forms of training that will not have an adverse effect on my.

Swiss News: December 2007
http://news-from-chur.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 28 December 2007. Countdown to the Marathon des Sables 2010 Part 3. Well, Christmas is over again. It was a quiet affair this year, with us staying in Chur for a change. I had thought I'd go for a run on 25th, but lacked will-power, especially as we had work to do anyway (one body to collect and sort out) on the afternoon - ah, good excuse, but hell, it was Christmas. Come Boxing Day, though, and I was rearing to go - blame it on Mr. Kipling's exceedingly fine mince pies! That Dr. Hasler had ...

Swiss News: Injury - yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://news-from-chur.blogspot.com/2008/05/injury-yet-again.html
Friday, 9 May 2008. Injury - yet again! Well, the calf problem from yesterday turned out to be a muscle tear, and I have had to cancel my participation on the race in Berne. Right now, I don't want to talk about it, I am that gutted. More, once I am in a better frame of mind. 15 May 2008 at 03:21. Thanks, Dan. Your response makes sense, and I guess, like with gym workouts, it's form that is important - quality not quantity. I look forward to that "secret 7th leg"! Cheers, mate,. 15 May 2008 at 10:49.

http://news-from-chur.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-training-for-2009-mds-7.html
Wednesday, 7 May 2008. My Training for the 2009 MdS - 7. This evening's run was wonderful, but also worrying - wonderfully worrying, perhaps - or worryingly wonderful? Whatever. Where was I? I set off, with the intention of doing 18 km, and ended up doing just under 20 km, deliberately extending the run so I could go further than the 18 km envisaged. I hate restrictions, barriers, definite aims/goals, control (also self-control, but. I try to vary my runs (. Ministry of Running Trails. It was a good run,...
