stats of the week: run 38 km, Zwift cycled 24 km, gym 3 h
Another proper training week, again with some intervals to stay used to a higher pace. I have to accept the fact that my former PB marathon pace is now a pace that I can't keep for just 5 K. The stopwatch shows the impact of aging without elusion.
I look forward now to running my last race within age group M65, a local 10 K New Year's Eve race. Next week I will be the youngest runner in my new age group.
stats of the week: run 23 km, cycled 91 km, hiked 15 km
stats of the previous week: run 30 km, gym 3 h
At our local 10K christmas city run I confirmed my current performance by finishing after 51:37 min. Still happy with that as I felt better with the pace than the week before.
A 6-day-trip to Majorca offered the chance to do some final bike rides of the year. Easy and short, but still enjoyable. And finally I found time to climb Mt Galatzo, the Majorca "Matterhorn", at the height of a bit more than 1,000 m.

I am still happy with my training and performance. I finished the local 9.6K race by an average speed of 5:07 min/K what is the best since January 2020, nearly 3 years. Next Sunday our local Christmas 10K race will take place, an event not to be missed. So I have my third race within 3 weeks what might be a bit over the limit. I have to be cautious while training not to overdraw my capabilities. Luckily there is a 3-week-rest until New Year's Eve race.
Unexpectedly I was lucky to end up 2nd in my age group, only second time within 12 experiences here.
