What goes up must come down! During this 7-kilometer run, I climbed 281 meters in the first 3,5 kilometers and descended them again in the second half as our holiday home is down in the valley. This was a fun and good exercise for me to complete.
The view of the mountain was excellent, and you could see yourself.
I’m again summarizing two weeks in this update. The past two weeks were my first two weeks of my three-week summer holiday this year. As most followers know, my family and I are in Italy. As nothing is work-related to share, everything below covers my holiday experience.
Have fun reading.
Yesterday, we drove from the Marche to the Piemonte region for our last holiday week in Italy. It was a 500-kilometer drive to the north-west of the country.
Due to the increasing temperatures in the Marche, I didn’t run for the past 4 days. Temperatures far above 30 degrees Celsius and steep hills are not a good combination for this Dutchie who’s used to flat terrain.
The terrain is different in Piemonte compared to the Marche. Our holiday home is close to a small river in the valley between two hills. I went out for a short out-and-back of 4 kilometers early this morning to determine my running possibilities in this area.
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.
