Time to come back to regular reporting – writing – recapping. I´m a lazy bastard when it comes to keeping notes but I remember well that keeping track of progress and thoughts over the week really helped me tremendously to identify my strengths and weaknesses better.

This has changed, I´d like to do some more writing – and I have begun to plan the new season! The new format will mostly consist of my weekly training log and personal reflections on my progress and failures. Apart from that I…
