After a super lazy Saturday without movement, my sleep was too bad. So today is Overcompensation Sunday with stretching, running, weight training and bike ride!

Training lately. Ride before the rain, interval training in the rain.

August 2025 was a month of travelling and being travelled to. The Deutschland-Ticket was used very effectively this month! There was a lot of cycling this month, also a lot of running and tons of walking.

Going for a 5km at high but continuous speed. My average pace is dropping lately. Interval trainings might be a good training, but I also need to force myself to higher paces during normal runs. "This was harder than your usual effort."
Have a good Monday!

Believe it or not, today is yet another holiday in Bavaria.

Sunday Sunrise Bike Ride
It's just too beautiful not to post something...

Jumping into the weekend!

Early Morning Sunrise Bike Ride
There is nothing more beautiful than to ride through the world that is just awakening and bathed in golden light!

Playing with the GoPro in the gym. (Also we still can't post videos and photos at the same time?)

Rainy intervals in the Saturday early morning. It went surprisingly well, perhaps a bit too slow for the target pace, but very consistent across all 8x400m intervals.

Rainy summer in Bavaria...

Training lately...

This morning I did my first run with Runna. I was surprised how easy the app syncs with my watch. And I didn't even knew that my watch can talk! I will keep using the single workouts, but I will not pay 120€ for the full programs. But if you are interested, give it a try.

Early Morning Ride around the hills in sun and rain. And I got rewarded by this magnificent rainbow!

Have a nice Sunday!

Weekend training: Sunrise is the best time for any kind of training!

Monday Early Morning Run in the gentle rainfall and Chest&Arms in the basement gym. The right way to start the week!

June 2025 was too hot and too rainy. I spent a lot of time on the bike, in the basement gym, in trains, in Bavarian cities and on Bavarian lakes. But most importantly, this month I finished all 202 streets of Bad Reichenhall!

Rainbow Gym - Happy Pride Weekend!

Enjoying this longest day of the year and the official start of summer in the garden pond!

Happy Midsummer! Happy Solstice!
Today at 04:42 MEZ/CET earth has tilted fully with its northern axis towards the sun. On the Arctic Circle you will have 24h of sunshine today. Here sun rises at 05:07 and sets at 21:10 making this day 16 hours and 3 minutes long. Use it!

Cycling Round to Tittmoning: a beautiful city with an Italian piazza, a castle over the city that saw quite some action in the Middle Ages and was used in WW2 as a prison for British officers. I would like to tell you much more, but Bluesky won't let me.

Hmm, I wonder what Instagram might have to complain here... 🔥

Happy Thursday, happy Holiday.
It's Fronleichnam, yet another holiday in Bavaria and another long weekend. Did a short run with sprints this morning, a weight training and a jump into the pond.

Beautiful Saturday Sunrise ride and swim.

Thursday Morning Swim

I would be available! Whenever you like.

If you are a runner or walker, I can only highly recommend you CityStrides. It is a challenge, but it also forces you to visit places in your city you have never been to and you never knew existed.

Also some streets had to be manually ticked off like the car-only bypass road and the Autobahn rest stop. And of course there are a number of outlying villages and the Mountain Hunter barracks in the centre are of course inaccessible.

Bad Reichenhall is a nice flat city. But it is surrounded by hills and mountains. So it turned out that I had to run up and down quite a lot. And some “streets” were only paths on the mountains, so this turned into trail running or simply hiking.
