The Italian slope next to our agriturismo is perfect for a proper hill workout. I completed three sets of 60, 45, and 30-second intervals, with 120, 90, and 60 seconds of downhill recovery in between. This was a fun and challenging workout. The total distance measured is 2,75 kilometers of running up the hill, including a 5-minute warm-up and a 5-minute cool-down.

Now that I’ve arrived at our friends’ Agriturismo in Italy, I’m back on familiar terrain. The terrain here differs from what I’m used to in the Netherlands, so I started today’s run easily.
Running in this scenery always makes me happy, although it’s not always safe with speeding Italians on the road who aren’t used to runners or bikers being on the same road.

Running in the Alps in the ‘Sud-Tirol’ area today. We arrived here yesterday afternoon and are staying here until Saturday. I enjoyed this run on the slopes at 1200m, it was the perfect exercise after driving 700 kilometers yesterday. #running #runnersofmastodon

I headed out early this morning to beat the heat and hit the nearby track. With the sun already climbing, I did a challenging interval session: 20 sets of 30-second sprints with 1-minute rest in between. The shade at that time of day helped make it more doable. It was tough, but I felt great afterward!

I was satisfied with myself as I completed this 45-minute run after a 12-hour workday. The weather in Barcelona is fantastic, so I decided to head out to the beach on a Wednesday evening to see what was going on there. It must be so lovely for all the locals in this city to always have the beach so close by. It makes me jealous.
