\u00a01. How do you currently feel, how is the training progressing? (for example, have you been sick, did you have weight problems, was motivation an issue, on a scale between 1 to 10 where would you see actual fitness etc…, how much time do you calculate to be fully fit …)<\/em><\/p>\n

I am currently about 75% fit. It is early season and I’m just building some fitness. I have a scheduled early season long distance race which has forced my hand on training a little but overall, all is good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Please, specify your current Biestmilch intake (amount, frequency); is this the regimen during a training camp or is this a pre-race regimen?<\/em><\/p>\n

Chewables<\/a> – 3 per day. This is pretty standard for me.<\/p>\n

3. How does your recovery day look like?<\/em><\/p>\n

A complete day of rest. I do absolutely nothing. I tend to occupy my time with things around the house but training-wise I do nothing. I drink coffee and chill out.<\/p>\n

4. Please provide us with some snap shot from your daily routines<\/em><\/p>\n

5:15am am wake up \u2013 5:30am swimming \u2013 7:30am breakfast with the kids \u2013 9am riding
1pm – Lunch and relax at home
5pm running \u2013 7:30pm dinner<\/p>\n

I would say everything went nearly perfect right now. I’m almost a little bit afraid to say so because usually I struggled at this time of the year. But maybe that these mental and motivational issues kind of down-modulated my fitness in way that I did not feel in a good shape at this early time of the season. I don’t want to argue about that \ud83d\ude42 I think by now I’m at 6.5 out of 10 right now. I will be at\u00a0 nine by the end of April. I have a lot of time to work on the basics this year due to my late start into the racing season this year.<\/p>\n

Right now my daily routine is a chewy tablet a day and a biest booster<\/a> in a lot of special situations. For example before my second training session on a big volume day. I often take a nap after the first session and feel tired. The booster helps a lot but doesn’t give me sleeping problems after the last session compared to coffee or energy drinks. This time of year is also travel time for me, and I like the booster during long car drives or after a long flight.<\/p>\n

3. How does your recovery day look like?<\/em><\/p>\n

Right now I often have to do a lot of office work on the “off” days. But I try to sleep a lot and try to get away with all the stress factors before the rest day. Right now I’m not doing full rest days so I always do a short session but usually not longer than 50 min with a stretching session afterwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
