back in france

i m now back in france now for work. it's nice to get back and meet again all skaters, coach and people from here. beside my work i train a bit. tuesday i run my classic 1200 800 400m... wednesday i run block 6min run/ 6min pliometric x 4...thursday i run 45min 3min/3min.

hamar

tema pursuit in hamar was better but still not great. we made a plan so i dont lead cause of last week end, but i was feeling better and then alexis and benj had to do too much to compete for a better time.
i still need more training so i can understand more about this ice technic that is still not coming in my body. i see what i have to do but i can t make my body do it^^...but still i feel i understand more than the other years^^...

berlin...hamar

last week end , i raced in berlin. 6m40.1 on 5000m....grrrr 0,1sec from qualification time for the 10km in hamar. anyway i m happy wiht it for now. after 5weeks on the ice 6m40 is my best 5000m race in europe. i have to enjoy this even if there is still a lot to do. this year my mind is more open to learn technic. i start to understand thing on ice i could not even see before. it s interesting.
sara is skating super great so i m really happy for her.

the team pursuit was terrible for me. after 4 laps i died like i never did before, that was really a day "without" for me. now i m in hamar for a 2nd team race...

in Heerenveen

i m in heerenveen now....nice to meet again some skaters^^ , few friends from new zealand, canada, sweden....nice people. i did 2 training today...off skate this morning and 5x3 laps on the ice this afternoon. air pressure was super low 978 they said... where is the air resistance^^?

i train with sara...was good training. tomorow morning , back on the ice again

going to world cup

today i m flying to heerenveen. i can t wait to see Sara ...
next week end we both race in the world cup, so nice, i will just race 1000m this week end thinking of getting more ready for berlin and hamar.

6m42 in berlin

last week end i was in berlin, for little racing with benjamin, mathilde and sara. i skate 6m42 which is almost my best time ever in 5km in europe...so strange with so little ice training...but COOL.
sara also qualified 4m21....juhu...
and benjamin too...
mathilde race good with 4M33 so 2àsec faster than 2weeks ago...

litlle more ice...

here i m back in holland for my holiday time on ice^^
so to change a bit i can skate hehe cool...so i arrived and just race a marathon in amsterdam 100laps....cool and finished 26th in a messi sprint where i didn t know when was hte sprint due to the breakaway.
then on sunday evening i race a 3km in groningen....4M08 was goodwith benjamin macé 4m11.... little confusing with the laps....butgood race. i feel better this yeareven if i skate much more less.

get the mind : FAST

sorry video doesn t fit good in it...i don t know how to do better. any tips are welcome. pascalbriand@yahoo.fr
you can click on the video to find it on youtube.

training in france

one more week before going back to heerenveen for some more training with the "new" french long track team. tristan still as coach will be with a total of 12 skaters next week...cool. it will be ni
now, biking, running and jumping trying to get more condition. good point is that weather in toulouse is still good, no it's nice change compare to holland weather^^.

ce to skate with benjamin again...and soon also with alexis

medical test^^

this week i did my medical test. it s a serie of test to check the health of athlete that we have to do in france 2 or 3 times a year. sometimes we get interesting information to follow our shape.
good news this year is that i m 5kg lighter than last year at the same period and 3% less fat. it show me i eat better. good food is important for sport and last year i made mistake on this topics.
it s also probably a good reason why i was feeling better on the ice last week.

my heart rate when i rest was 44...which is also good. normally my lowest is 36 and my max is 209...

im still 183cm high^^ small chance that this value except when i will get too old...but not yet as some people try to make me feel^^ (not my friends^^)

blood value, i didn t get them yet...may be in few days.

6m49.13

and the result is 6m49.13...which is good as i needed to do under 6m50...
i couldn't really do faster after just 5days on the ice but important point is done, i did minimum standard for world cup.

1st test of season 2010 2011

after a week on the ice, it's time for a 5km test tonight. main goal this season is to have a good team poursuit for france...
tristan loy is now main coach and we have new coming skaters...

more coming soon^^

sometimes i see some video from another kind that make me think...^^
