Training Wk 19

Ichimusai — Sun, 22 May 2011 15:44:56 +0000

This week I was working with the radio systems all the week and I managed only two workouts which felt a little bad but that’s life sometimes. On Sunday I left for Basingstoke, UK for training with Motorola on their TETRA system so the next week is all about running in Basingstoke.

Day by day

Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Jogging at Järvafältet. My nice 8 km route there was begging for me to come out and it felt really good. Nice tempo as well, around 8 min/km which is not bad considering…
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Slammertorp route here in Kallhäll. All the way, the most hilly part as well. 7:33 tempo and a nice runners high actually.
Friday: Resting
Saturday: Resting
Sunday: Resting

This Week

Total distance	11.66	km	Total tim	1:33:13	HMS
Avg tempo	8:00	min/km	Avg. speed	7,5	km/h
Max. HR	172	bpm	Avg. HR	150	bpm
Training Effect	4.1	TE/EPOC	Energy spent	2 051	kcal
VO2(max)	51	ml/kg/min	Peak EPOC	201	ml/kg
Max. ventilation	83	l/min	Max breathing	41	bpm

Last Week

Total distance	20.54	km	Total tim	2:55:02	HMS
Avg tempo	8:31	min/km	Avg. speed	7.0	km/h
Max. HR	162	bpm	Avg. HR	149	bpm
Training Effect	4.0	TE/EPOC	Energy spent	3 405	kcal
VO2(max)	47	ml/kg/min	Peak EPOC	80	ml/kg
Max. ventilation	90	l/min	Max breathing	41	bpm

Not enough workouts really, will regard this week as a maintaining week but not very developing. Although I managed to up the pulse a bit with some good VO2max results as well. Next week I will be running in Basingstoke so we will have to see how that works out

Podrunning 100 min

Ichimusai — Thu, 12 May 2011 21:09:33 +0000

Never Alone – Aldrig Ensam

Ichimusai — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 09:34:10 +0000

I really need to share this incredible music with everyone. Four people using a piano like that is incredible in itself but the song is hauntingly beautiful as well.

Enjoy.

A Spotify Journey into EBM

Here is your essential guide to Electronic Body Music.

Birds on the wires

Ichimusai — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:51:06 +0000

What do you get when a musical composer sees a picture of birds on phone lines and realized that they form notes and he puts that into music?

Well check it out here, it is really cool!

Spotify for Android

Ichimusai — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:27:58 +0000

Now there is a spotify client both for the Android and for the iPhone. The client can also sync music for offline listening. This is such great news, I can bring my playlists from spotify where me wherever I go and listen anywhere as long as there is space on my memory card everything should be dandy.

The iPhone version apparently stops playing in the background something Apple demanded it should do, but on the Android background playing works GREAT so now I can strem music while I jog and can set up the playlist on my computer at home or pretty much everywhere and then just sync it with my phone.

So now the phone not only tracks my workout times and distance using the GPS, it also plays the music to my mood and this is something I have been waiting for some time now.

Time to become a premium member, the ad-financed version of spotify does not cover the mobile version but I don’t care. 99 SEK for a month is nothing compared to the joy it is bringing…

Danny Cowan Band

Ichimusai — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:35:33 +0000

It was probably in 2002 or so when I first heard their music. I was listening to an internet radio station from Texas – the radio station has since long gone defunct, it was an underground radio station anyway with bad sound but good music.

All of a sudden they start playing a tune that really catches my attention and I really love the beat and the style not to mention the song, I frantically start trying to find out what the band is called and so I end up mailing the guy running the ShoutCast radio station and he actually came back to me and said “They are called ‘Danny Cowan Band’ and they are from just ’round the corner here.” The song that caught my attention was The Whip. Now go listen to it.

you know the whip’s coming down
coming down on you
we’re down in Texas land
you know heat’s on the rise
100 days of summer

So I set out to find their music on the net to hear more if possible and to buy their record. Turns out they got a small home page where you can listen to their tunes as MP3′s.

And then you can buy their record very cheaply paying through PayPal. Go buy it now. If you feel like some real texas blues you’ve come to the right place!

16 Tons

Ichimusai — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 16:02:28 +0000

This is the lyrics of the song “16 tons” as sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford. I have put them here because I just really like them.

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man’s made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that’s a-weak and a back that’s strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ’cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said “Well, a-bless my soul”

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ’cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin’, it was drizzlin’ rain
Fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake* by an ol’ mama lion
Cain’t no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ’cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin’, better step aside
A lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don’t a-get you, then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ’cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
