I’m back from my ski trip.

Very happy I managed to get one run in, so there is not a complete blank week passed

The ski trip itself was very nice, lots of fresh snow and managed to get my quads burning quite a few times.

I totally missed the craziness over this article: http://www.bbc.com/news/health-31095384 so it’s a bit late, but I really like to share some opinions about it:

• 5mph ideal pace – What??
  Absolutely no offence to the people who see this as their regular pace, but that is slow for many runners with some training.
• 2.5h in total
  This seems like a nice number for a lot of joggers, but what comes to mind is other exercise. Say you bike to work or walk your children to school, do you need to subtract it from that total time?
• only 36 were classified as “strenuous” joggers and just two of this group died
  So basically: much ado about nothing? A group of 36 is nothing for a proper study…

I’m pretty sure things like this will be said over and over again already this week, but as stated above: I’ve been away and really felt like I should rant about this as well 🙂

Tonight I’m starting my new run week with only 1 hour. In the middle of renovating my attic, so I need to divide my attention.
Not good for my 2500km in 2015 goal, but still a lot of time to make up for it 😉

Any thoughts about the article?
