http://germanrunner.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 28, 2008. Only few days are left until the first highlight of the season: the German Nationals in Halfmarathon road running. The tension is growing with every run and I'm getting really excited to toe the line with all the other "race horses". I should be in better shape than last year, when I took 19th place in 1:09:30. Saturday, March 22, 2008. Running like an easter bunny. Happy Easter / Frohe Ostern / Hyvää pääsiäistä. Sunday, March 16, 2008. Here are 2 of my favourite youtube-videos:.

Thursday, July 03, 2008. Race report: Paavo Nurmen kisat in Turku: 5000m - 15:29,89. Facts first: kilometer splits were 3:01/3:05/3:07/3:13/3:04. Place was 21st. And the weather and conditions were very good. What else happened in the last week? Germany lost the final in the EURO 2008 (if you haven't noticed yet) and I am working on the marathonscene. Project. Besides there are a lot of other small things - mainly related to business or the question "How to survive without a fixed income" :).

http://germanrunner.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 22, 2007. Although I'm not the best cross-country runner and enjoy much more to run on flat roads, I took part in a 9K-cross country race last weekend. The race - which was held in Pajulahti. Was at the same time the qualification for the Nordic Championships. International contest between FIN, NOR, SWE, DEN and Iceland). So I was lining up with a selection of the best runners in Finland. Considering this fact I'm satisfied with my 9th place. Sunday, October 14, 2007. That's the name of t...

Now it's time to enjoy the Christmas time. Just the night before christmas eve we got a thin layer of snow here in my home town - I guess that's what you call a white christmas nowadays.

Thursday, August 23, 2007. The 10.000m track competition on last Tuesday in Lempäälä. The recovery from the race was also quite good. Now, two days after the race I am feeling ok and I am ready for some medium-fast runs. Wednesday, August 15, 2007. The odometer is rotating. I also have a new room-mate, Tahir from Pakistan. He is going to study in the same course as I do (Biology of Physical Activity) and he is a quiet and calm person so far. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

erik runs finland: June 2008
http://germanrunner.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2008. After 2-3 weeks of recovery and having a relaxed down-time to recharge the batteries I am feeling fresh again now. I hope the mental and physical reset helped me in preparation for the autumn marathon, even though I had to change my plans about running a track season. Now I will run only a few races on track and try to build the basics and some speed. Monday, June 16, 2008. A weekend in the forest - Jukolan viesti. Some time I haven't posted, but there are some good reasons for th...

erik runs finland: May 2008
http://germanrunner.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2008. Disappointing 3000m (9:10,42 min). On Thursday I ran a 3000m here in Jyväskylä. As a track season opener and finished in 9:10mins (2nd place, but that's unimportant). I am rather frustrated with this performance even if it was the first race on track for about 9 months and the marathon is only 3 1/2 weeks old. 800m into the race - trying to find a rhythm but never found it (all pictures presented by Jaakko Nieminen. Sunday, May 25, 2008. Kettuhölkkä: 1st place in 45:28 ( 13,3K).

Sunday, May 25, 2008. Kettuhölkkä: 1st place in 45:28 ( 13,3K). Today was "long" run ( 20K) with Kimmo and Timo in the morning plus a short evening run (6K). The Sauna afterwards was great and I can feel that Sauna improves my recovery a lot. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The Cat Empire - Hello.
