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...

If It Helps Someone, It's Valuable

The World Is Full Of Problems  This is good news. Actually it is great news. Problems are opportunities for growth - if you are able to find -and successfully apply- the solution to a problem that will help someone in any way, you will inevitably create value. If you can find a solution to a big problem (e.g. cure for cancer) you will create an immense value. If you can find a solution to a not so gargantuan, but widespread problem, you will have created tremendous value. But even if you find a solution to a small problem that will benefit a few people, you might still have the benefit of being able to learn something valuable that you can apply later in the solution of greater problems. Don't let yourself be discouraged by the (lack of) magnitude of problems: keep your eyes open and help people even if they do not approach you proactively - this will invite good things to happen to you in the long run. However not everybody in the workforce seems to have the proclivity to solve pr...

Happiness And Anxiety

Just A Feeling Despite all the drawbacks caused by the pandemic I have to admit that ever since the kids were born I have been feeling more happy in general. To set the stakes even higher, I have already been pretty damned happy ever since I met my wife several years earlier. Maybe it is because the kids fill me with hope that all is good and is steadily improving. Also they give a whole new purpose to everything in my life. I have only really had a few significant stretches where I felt so beaten down or lethargic, that I had issues to motivate myself. There were only three significant times I was struggling with my decisions and had serious doubts that I made the right choices.  Freaking Out In The Barracks The first time was in 1998, when I signed a contract as a contract soldier for 12 years. During my first couple of days with the military the magnitude of my decision sank with the utmost brutality. It totally freaked me out. I spent the first night in some spartan barracks in...
