With yesterdays 500m Test in Zofingen, i finished my last trainingblock before the first season peak. There were now 3 weeks of good training after 10mila.

One week of that was in Trondheim with the national team, where we did not have the best conditions for training on several days due to snow and cold rain... But still it was nice to be back in Trondhiem, and especially at the 2 Craft Cup races i realised that there's still a lot of work to do for the perfect WOC shape! Nevertheless, last week i spent at home andi was running mostly on the tracks in the nice "Schauenburg"-region to get used to the fast and hard ground in Bulgaria. So yesterday i tested my shape over 5000m on the 400m Track. My time of 14:57 was ok, but the race could have been little better. I started way too fast (1st 200m: 30"), what forced me to spend some energy to find the right pace. Of course i did not reduce my training too much for that, so i'm confident about my shape, and after some recovery days and the final preparations, i'm looking forward to EOC. I'll run the full program in Bulgaria.
