Most special moment of an incredibly special weekend: 71,66 in the javelin. #pellesonemoretimetour #itsawrap #wentoutwithabang #trackandfield #decathlon #asicswantitmore (bij Stadion Ratingen)
Running towards retirement! Happy about speed and explosiveness of today's session! #pellesonemoretimetour #pellesonemoreweektour #roadtoratingen #decathlon #trackandfield #sprinting #workout (bij ARV Ilion)
When the steps sound right, the result will be a solid flight. #polevault #decathlon #trackandfield #pellesonemoretimetour #pellesonemoreweektour #roadtoratingen #asicswantitmore
Desperate times call for desperately short shorts. #pellesonemoretimetour (bij National Sports Centre Papendal)
I was pretty close to giving up. Skipped practice for an entire weekend. Just not motivated to do athletics and risk getting hurt again. Two days later and my PR in hang clean is gone. New record: 140 kg which is past the magical 300 lbs barrier! It's just weird. It doesn't make any sense. #pellesonemoretimetour #asics #oppapendal #trackandfield #decathlon #running #jumping #throwing #weightlifting #clean (bij National Sports Centre Papendal)
Hamstring let me do all this so I'm getting close. Was about damn time, 'cause my choice is to either be running or be running out of time. Will probably be racing next week. This Saturday only javelin in competition. #oppapendal #asics #wantitmore #pellesonemoretimetour #makethelasttimeafasttime #hurdles #tracklife #trackandfield #training (bij National Sports Centre Papendal)
PELLE'S ONE MORE TIME TOUR - MAKE THE LAST TIME A FAST TIME
Stellenbosch, April 29 2016 It's a wrap, like, literally! My last ever warm weather training camp as a semi-professional(ish) track and field athlete is over. Not before having a malva pudding and a long flight back, but training is done. It's been both great and not good enough. It's been tough and stressful, it's been fun. It's been emotional and memorable. I've only got a month until the decisive decathlon in Götzis, and I am fully aware of that. So after a pretty decent week of training and then nearly tearing my hamstring last week it's great to work my way back with stops at 4x1000m (fastest in 3,34), 20x200m (fastest in 32) and today 5x300m (fastest in 41,8) in just a week's time. It's huge progress, but it's also not something that was allowed to happen. I don't want to have to rely on a miracle in Götzis. Especially because I know that miracles in the decathlon are rarely actual miracles, usually merely the result of a solid and structured training program with a long term focus. And no, I haven't been able to meet the qualitative criteria that I myself have for a training program this winter. So yeah, I came to Stellenbosch with worries and I will be leaving with worries, but that's okay. I knew from the start that the #pellesonemoretimetour would take everything I had left in me, and more. I will also be leaving with a sense of melancholy, as training camps have been such a huge part of what being an athlete is all about. Of why I wanted to be a more than average athlete in the first place, I found out about all that on training camps, just by experiencing the vibe, looking at other athletes, talking to them and learning from them. About fifteen years after the first one it was definitely a big moment stepping off the track with lactic legs for the very last time this morning. So, a lot of feelings, most of them mixed. Feeling very confident about the javelin, am close to a breakthrough in the hurdles but could also totally mess that up, expecting the high jump to be alright, shitting my pants already about the 1500 'cause I haven't nearly done enough to be properly prepared for almost four laps of hell. Feeling grateful and slightly agitated, scared and satisfied. And I felt compelled to tell you all a little bit about all this. Haven't been as public about my mental state lately, but felt for some reason like this was worth sharing, so here you go.
