I’ll try to post at least once a week with updates on my training and various news. I might be posting more often is something interesting happens.<\/p>\n

The big news this week is that I decide to prepare for an Ultra (as mentioned in the intro post) and I want to do a Trail one. Also because I enjoyed very much the Wimbledon Half Marathon, which was basically a trail half marathon (finished 12th).<\/p>\n

The plan is to try and get a place at the NDW50<\/a> in May 2015. There are only 250 places so I might not manage to get it. I will have to find another one, but I am so pumped for it that I will be very sad if I don’t get in.<\/p>\n

The inspiration for this plan is my good friend Davide <\/a>(4th place at the Lakeland100 2014). It’s all his fault. I hope he will come to the NDW50.<\/p>\n

As I have always been a road runner (even if most of the time I run on trails in Bushy or Richmond Park) I had to get some trail shoes to get me started. I opted for the Brooks Cascadia.<\/p>\n

Road or trail running?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This week I started my 10 days summer\u00a0holiday and flew to Liguria in Italy. I’ve been running a lot here, but always on the same sea side routes. This summer, equipped with the Cascadia, I explored the hills overlooking the sea.<\/p>\n

Amazing views and a totally different way of running. I have to get used to run at variable speed.<\/p>\n

I have alternated one day road running \/ one day trail running.<\/p>\n

A had fun on the road with another Davide<\/a>, he is the guy that introduced me to running and got me into my first team. We went for a slow run on the cliffs, Slow because it was too early for him and we talked too much as we had not seen each other for 2 years.<\/p>\n

The best trail run I had this week was\u00a0this one<\/a>, 20k with 986mt elevation.<\/p>\n

I even saw a couple of deer, smaller than the Bushy park ones I am used too, but wilder. I also had to learn to run carrying water with me. I never had too, but it was very hot!<\/p>\n

I am here for one more week. I intend to explore the hills more as I am sure that there are more trails to try.<\/p>\n

Take care!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
