ECSS 2007
Last week I was busy on the ECSS (European College of Sport Science) and I listened a lot of interesting presentations. In addition to the usual topics such as Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology and Coaching there have been some new and emerging talks about currently well-discussed topics such as gen-EPO, stem cells and motor control. Overall it was a great experience and a good chance to get an update what is currently going on in the different fields of Sport Sciences.

Concerning the training I increased the mileage from the 100km at home in Germany straight to 100miles during the first week back in Finland. However, because of the Congress I lost some kilometers again and counted around 130km for last week. During the 4 congress-days my longest run was 50 minutes and it was impossible to do any speedwork due to the scientific and social programme of the ECSS. Now I hope to get some fast kilometers by taking part in some competitions.
Keep updated for results ;)
