Ok, I´m not cross training at all right now, but that´s alright. I don´t think I get that much out of it anymore. It´s frustrating I could not (and still cannot) run for the last 13 weeks. It is the third year in a row I am not able to run for a long time. With few exceptions, I was basically injured the last three years in a row. It seems there is something wrong with my feet and I also seem to do something wrong with my training.
However, I am following all the running stuff anyway. Especially here in DK since I moved here August 2010. Many athletes in DK have their own homepage or blog where their write about their training. It´s really interesting and now also a couple of German runners share their training with the public (or with running nerds... ;)). So for example Andre Pollmacher (since Winter 2010/2011) and Jan Fitschen (since recently). Here in DK I sometimes take a look at Morten Munkholm, Jakob Hannibal, Morten Fransen and Andeas Buenos training. I really think it is interesting to see the different ways to train.
Pollmacher´s homepage, however, is really instructive as he´s explaining his trainingmethods. Moreover he really trains hard and I hope he´s going to be rewarded for it with good times this season.
While the two Germans are Marathonrunners, the Danes are more middle distance runners (with the exception of Fransen). I am most impressed by Buenos training - he basically never runs more than 100km per week (but therefore with high intensity) and managed to run 30.05 at the Danish 10k championships.
Right now, I am more than hundred miles away from those guys performance´s, but I really hope I can mix up with all of them in a year or so. I wished I could run with them now, but so far I cannot even run...
So good luck to all of them and all of you!
Greetings
