Friday float with Jack

Yesterday ended up being a double as ran a 30 min track session around the corner.  There are running tracks everywhere here in Berlin.  Copied the HuRTs session which was the Pyramid: 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800, 400.  I was tired but got it done in the cold and averaged 3.21s (21.55 for 6.5ks).

Today Jack and I cruised togther for some 1 on 1 time.  Took the UBahn into town and had a mosey around the shops near the Kurfuerstendam stopping in Ka De We (Berlin's most famous shop) and the Hertha Berlin shop finishing with lunch on Kantstrasse at Saigon Green. The place was heaving for a Friday afternoon but managed to get a table after a short wait.

Back at the hotel we had time to kill before Jack's last traning before the tournament starts tomorrow.  With limited running time availiable over the weekend I opted for my long run which ended up being 1h45mins (4.31s / 23k). I meandered into town on a slightly different route going past the HBH, the Reichstag, Alexander Platz, Untern den Linden, Brandenbruger Tor and then the fast way home.  The last 6ks I picked up the pace -  roughly 3.50s with some 3.45s.

Jack trained well before dinner in the hotel and it was buzzing as some of the teams had arrived in force:

Hamburg SV
AIK Stockholm
Southampton FC
RB Leipzig
National Northern Ireland team
AGF Aarhus (Denmark)
FC Augsburg (Bundesliga 1st division)
Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan)
Sparta Prag
