I completed another run in Italy today. This time, I went out for a 5-kilometer recovery run, which was tough after last night’s cheese and pizza. I covered the distance in 35:24, keeping an average pace of 7:03 per kilometer at temperatures already around 30 degrees at 8:30 in the morning.
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.
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
