I train according to the plans of my coach Dan Aeschlimann, based on the values of a performance test from August 2023. My principle: Consistency is absolutely crucial. In other words: Stay disciplined and make no excuses. If I want to achieve my big goal, I have to overcome my “inner bastard” again and again. Out of the comfort zone, because: Comfort zone is danger zone!
My training (2-4 hours/week) is currently focused on a relaxed crawl style and building up my endurance.
Training hours so far
Three outdoor units (5-10 h / 100km to 200km week) - winter months with indoor training on the roller (heart rate and wattage controlled, 3 x 1 h/week).
Training hours so far
Once my favorite discipline as a marathon runner for decades. Today, after ten completely running-free years, I alternate between fast walking and jogging. 2 h p/week
Training hours so far
Regular strength training (2x 1.5 h / week), stretching and coordination exercises keep me fit even in old age and I am currently completely pain-free again.
Training hours so far
The big goal is made up of many small milestones, each of which has its own significance and each of which contributes a further, indispensable piece of the puzzle to the big picture.
I was very skeptical at first. Ruedi’s age, 10 years without running? But: After 6 months of training, his performance has increased by 20%, so I’m positive. But: There is still a long, long way to go.
