LaufLog_5K_W02

Woche Zwei

 
Nach dem Hochladen des Trainingslogs war ich jetzt etwas erstaunt, als ich gesehen habe, dass ich bereits nach gut zweieinhalb Wochen knapp 100km gelaufen bin. Natürlich sieht das jetzt etwas blöd aus, als würde ich total am Rad drehen und schon bei Start überzocken. Nicht reinzählen dürfen eigentlich die ersten drei Einheiten mit knapp 30km, die ich vor dem Start des Trainingsplanes im August vorgeschoben, quasi erschummelt, habe. Ansonsten läuft die Geschichte recht gut, diese Woche bin ich schon vier mal losgestiefelt. Die Intervalle habe ich bis jetzt eher im moderaten Bereich veranstaltet, dafür habe ich mehr Wiederholungen, als laut Plan vorgesehen, gemacht. Irgendwie finde ich es blöd nur 10 bis 15 min Belastung in einem Lauftraining unter zu bringen. Im Winter ist das bestimmt etwas anders zu sehen, aber ich hatte mir ja vorgenommen "mindestens" die Vorgaben zu erfüllen, also kann ich auch mal mehr machen.
Grossen Gefallen habe ich an den Sonntagsläufen gefunden. Die Brückenrunde am Rhein ist sehr schön zu laufen. Allerdings ist sie, wie heute festgestellt, recht windanfällig. Gegenwind härtet ja bekanntlich ab.

Learn To Unlearn

Be Brilliant Subject matter expertise has its perks. Being an expert on any field requires deep learning as well as deliberate practice over years and years. The more professional experience you gain the more you'll swap a minimum principle mindset ('What do I need to do to achieve XY?') for a maximum principle ('How much can I possibly achieve with my available resources?'). When I started as a consultant I had a very basic and fragmented knowledge in most of the technical aspects in my subject matter. At the time I was already a certified and experienced supply chain management expert with some merits. However, as the branch I had worked in (military and defence) neither used the latest technology nor had a business model that promoted short development or change cycles in leadership or management, I did not feel 100% competitive. Therefore I faced some serious challenges when I started my career in the private sector.  At the time when I joined a consulting compa...

Failure Culture

The Default State of Society The other day I read a post on my company's intranet that stuck with me and made me think. I'll try to give it in my own words: A teacher entered the class room and started to write equations on the board. 1x9 = 9 2x9=18 3x9=27 The class watched and there was only the usual murmur while the teacher proceeded. 4x9=36 5x9=45 6x9=54 7x9=63 8x9=72 9x9=81 10x9=91 On finishing the teacher turned to the class and noticed some murmurs and giggles. He paused for a moment and the giggles increased. Some pupils started to laugh and after a while others joined in until a majority of pupils found amusement in the teacher's mistake and joined the laughter. After a while, when the laughter dampened down, the teacher said: "I made this mistake on purpose in order to demonstrate a point. I wrote ten equations on the board, of which nine were absolutely correct. Most of you however decided to focus on the one equation that was false. None of you gave me any ...

Plans and Principles

Why is it that plans can, sometimes even need to change over time? At the same time: Should guiding principles be designed to live long term and to be resistant to short term change? To both questions my answer is a firm yes. Here's why: The principle of the benefit of long lasting habits is one that fascinated me early on. The imagination that any person can improve to levels beyond their own imagination by merely sticking to a habit over a long period still strikes me. One of my oldest habits is sports. I started swimming as a member of a club -and later also as one of a competitive team- as a young teenager and have stuck to some kind of sports habit ever since. When I started first I went to training sessions twice a week. At my peak I did six to eight training sessions a week and most of my school holidays were spent either on training camps or competitions. So my first serious habit was established during those early years. After school I was not always able to swim due to re...
