Schlau gemacht


ist der Trainingsplan von Garmin. Drei bis vier Trainingseinheiten die Woche heisst es da, davon sind jedoch mindestens drei jede Woche Schlüsseleinheiten. Also zwei Mal Intervalle und einmal ein längeres Dauerläufchen. Dann steht da noch, quasi im "Kleingedruckten" je ein lockerer Regenerationslauf und zusätzlich optional einmal die Woche Gymnastik.

Diese Woche habe ich es bei drei Einheiten belassen. Nächstes Woche müsste ich -wenn ich konsequent bin- wieder vier Einheiten machen. Da bin ich selbst gespannt. Diese Woche war ich nach der Dienstagseinheit (progressiver Dauerlauf) so bedient, dass ich mich den ganzen Abend kaum noch bewegen konnte. Irgendwie hatte ich mir eingebildet, es wäre eine gute Idee vor dem Laufen noch schnell etwas zu essen.

In Zukunft versuche ich wieder schlauer zu sein, als der Trainingsplan und nicht nur allein mit den Beinen, sondern auch mit dem Kopf zu trainieren.

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...

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...

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...
