Training Camp Potchefstroom

The whole month of January I’m on training camp in Potchefstroom, South Africa.

Update 10-01
Training here has been great so far. The weather is sunny and approximately 25 degrees Celsius during the day. Every day consists of two training sessions. In the morning we train early to train in cooler conditions. The morning session usually is an endurance run or swimming. In the afternoon we do the harder sessions on the grass or tartan track which are both close by. This first week was still an easy week to get used to the altitude (1500m) and weather. Next two weeks will be tougher with longer runs and harder sessions.
We’re staying in guesthouse “On Golden Pound”. Annelien and Hannis from the guesthouse arrange everything perfectly for us, so we only have to bother about training. The food Annelien cooks is simply delicious and she keeps our running engines going. I usually spend the rest of the day reading, studying and resting (a total of 10-11 hours of sleep every day).
