(EN) Day 3 after Comrades 2011 + Treatmill test - 01.06.2011

It's day 3 after Comrades 2011 and I'm already feeling pretty good. There is even a thought about attending next year's race again. Strange how fast humans can forget the exhausting moments they just went through ;)

Today was the day of my final test at the University of Cape Town. The study is focussing on regeneration after extreme exercising - so today is the most important part.

The test contains different elements. The ones I was scared about doing after the race were:
4 minutes at 12,6 km/h with another 1 minute at 16,4 km/h - this was the one I was really scared about. But it did work as good as for the test before Comrades. I'm a miracle to myself. After a jump test there was a 20 min treatmill run with 11,0 - 11,6 km/h. All done without any problems. I have no clue, why it's all going so well. I'm happy and the leader of the study as well...

I'm expecting to get my personal results in July 2011. I'll keep you posted.

For the next few days I'll stay "runningless" and work on my Comrades report. So please stay tuned.

This is me during the test:
