    Looks like this is a week of firsts! Interval training yesterday, then a pretty awesome 5K today. It took me 28:55 on the treadmill. That’s a pace of 5:47 / km (or 9:19 / miles). Whoa! I wasn’t even planning this, I only did it because I didn’t have a lot of time to kill [...]

    Instead of doing my usual 10-12K steady effort run, this morning I had my first interval training. Doing it on the treadmill made it easier to monitor the time and set the speed to where I wanted. This is how the intervals looked like:
    1. 6:00 Warm-up @ 8.5 km/h (5.3 mph)
    2. 1:00 High effort run [...]

    I did it! I wasn’t too lazy and got up in time for an early morning run in cold Vienna. I made a loop in Augarten as planned, then ran alongside the Danube Canal. Total was 7.48 km (about 4.6 mi) in 46:17. That’s 6:15 / km or 10:04 / miles, which is pretty awesome, [...]

    It is usually not easy to stick to your diet and exercise regime when traveling. Breakfast at the hotel, lunch is not something you can plan ahead. Plus there are those dreaded dinners with clients. If you’re in luck, the hotel at least has a decent gym.

    Weather’s beginning to cooperate where I live, and I was excited that I can take my outdoors shoes out for a spin at last. It was raining all morning, but it cleared up quite a bit in the afternoon, and I was off for a nice run in the park (pun intended).
