Up Close, and Personal
To me, sport is…
On a typical training day,
I train 6 days a week and take rest on Sunday. Tuesday is Interval training, Thursdays are Tempo/Hill run/Fartlek run and Saturdays are Long run days. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are recovery run days. In a typical week I run 110 to 125 KM. My diet doesn’t vary much and I eat a balanced diet of carbohydrates, protein and vegetables.
