stats of the week: run 4 km, Zwift cycled 22 km, gym 3 h
With some recovery from the Christmas Run and a weekend journey to Berlin this week was somewhat low level in question of sports. At least we walked a lot around Berlin visiting several Christmas markets, Charlottenburg Castle and the Jewish Museum. Looking at my running performance it is still kind of breathless while jogging at low pace.

Not surprisingly I could not resist to run the local 5K christmas run. I managed to finish it without walking in between so it was a step forward. The pace of 5:39 min/K was okay so far but I reached my limits. So there are doubts I will find back to pre-surgery performance. However, I will be happy if I am able to complete longish distances without knee problems in the oncoming weeks.

I developed the cautious jogging workouts to a switch of 100m of walking with 400m of running. I was surprised how I lost the feeling for pace. The short stretches of running turned out to be way too fast I had to notice after looking at the Garmin stats.
As I am now able to run 5K within 31 minutes I decided to take part at the local Christmas Run next Sunday. Just to be part of the event and enjoy the day.
This one is very long ago:
