I completed a short and intense sprint recovery run today to compensate for yesterday’s food festivities and today’s lazy day on a sun bed. This 2.5-kilometer run included 8×20-second sprint intervals with 10 seconds of recovery. I ran on the trail path close to our holiday home in the shade in an area with as little elevation as possible.
This was a fun run to complete with my son. We ran up to the highest point near our holiday home (224 meters of elevation gain) and covered a total distance of 7.76 kilometers in 50:39. This was my fourth run in this area, and I can feel my body and muscles adjusting to the different types of terrain. Depending on how temperatures evolve next week, I will continue exercising here.
I’m collecting 52 songs in 52 weeks. Every Friday afternoon, I add a song to my playlist. The aim is to capture my energy and feelings for that particular Friday with the chosen song.

After 52 weeks, I will have recorded all the seasons, holidays, and high and low weeks of the year (from October 2024 to September 2025) in one self-curated playlist on Apple Music. Don’t use Apple Music? Subscribe to weekly updates via RSS.
This 8-kilometer recovery run in the Marche, Italy, was fun and challenging. I initially wanted to go out for a 10-kilometer run, but I decided to shorten it because of the increased intensity added by the 222 meters of elevation covered during this distance. This is something my body isn’t used to at all.
I covered the 8 kilometers in 54:27, maintaining an average pace of 6:48 per kilometer and an average speed of 8.83.
