Standardized treadmill test I try to do every 6 weeks: ramp up with 2min at 15.5kmh, 2min at 16.5kmh, 2min at 17.5 and finally 14min at 18.5 kmh. So the whole test takes 20min. I was able to finish the test easier than ever before. It is a good sign for my momentary shape. Unfortunately my knee was hurting quite a bit cooling down.
At the last test, the 7th of June I wrote this comment: "Today I wasn't able to finish the last 5 minutes from the 20 minutes of the test. I am not in such a good shape as I wish I would be. Well, maybe I shall just accept it and not worry too much about it... not getting too fixated about it might be the best cure, as I have been training well in the last 5 months."
Only a few weeks later, as my shape got worse, I diagnosed that my iron was too low.
