Jan Fitschen continues alternative training as he still has injury problems

November 23, 2008

Jan Fitschen just came back from a 10-day training camp in Lanzarote (ESP): “The training conditions are great and also the weather was perfect”. Only the running sessions were missing because of problems on the plantar tendon on the right foot. The injury already lasts for a while and forces the European 10.000m Champion to alternative training. Aqua-jogging (“It is horrible, it is so boring. But it’s easier when I’m not at home”) and bicycle exercises stood on the training plan during the 10 days in Spain. During his stay he cycled around 800km even if he didn’t cycle on some days.

The 31-year old is not planning any indoor season and would be glad if the plantar tendon would be pain-free until the beginning of January.
