Today the plan was to train with his U13s (so the born in 2004 age group), a year older than Jack. The session was over 2 hours and he had them working really hard from the off. The training was primarily endurance focussed with a lot of running and ladder drills one after another - more akin to a track session. Then he overloaded with skills to see how they fared once tired. The U13 boys were all tall and lean. Jack did ok as well as in the match situation.
I then agreed to meet all back at the hotel as had brought my running gear with. And so a quick change and I ran the route through the wealthy former western Berlin suburbs (with massive houses on small pebbled streets). The sun post midday was no longer to be seen and the wind was cold - it always is here and the wind comes directly from the Russian plains. 14kms in 4.40. ish.
A quick lunch and then headed with Andreas into town for shopping and other errands to the new Hauptbahnhof.
Dinner this evening was in the Mitte area of Berlin at 'Monsieur Vuong' a Vietnamese restaurant. 'Mitte' is a great little area in central Berlin with loads of brilliant restaurants and boutiquey shops - it reminds me of Soho in NYC.
Another pretty cool day. Here are some of the pics and have brought out the BIG camera again:
